f lll ’»1 Continuing the beat Students were still involved in numerous activities. The major ac- tivity, the Colt County Fair, almost bit the dust this year, but given one more chance, students rallied to the couse. Dances still played the leod role in the social lives of students. This year, however, they danced to recorded music played by a DJ rather than that of a live band, as was popular in the ’70’s. No longer were there parades, junior and senior plays, and senior trips. These have Deen replaced by excellent productions by tne drama deportment ond new troditions such as the Homecoming breakfast. Taking advantage of fun, excite- ment, ond a chance to get ocquointed, Joson Ankele, Comi Chestnut, ond Tricio Tully enjoy themselves ot the Howdy Donee. ACTIVITIES 13

Summer — Anything goes Vacation serves as catchall for rest, work, travel Most students had high expectations for their summer months. Somehow or another, everything one never had time for during the school year seemed to get filed under the excuse. “I’ll do It this summer!” All the Impossible dreams of sleeping ’til noon,” Losing just a few more pounds.” “getting a gorgeous tan. finally passing geometry. “going to the Bahamas. and “making mongo big bucks. had chances of becoming reality during the summer months. Senior Tricia Tully set high goals at the beginning of the summer. “I planned I would get a lot done this summer, like clean my room, apply to colleges, make money for college, but somehow or another time escaped me. Despite the realization that summer was not endless, many students realized goals of traveling. Summer camps, mission trips, visiting relatives, and just sight-seeing. French students, Polly Proctor, Tracy Shuford. Tricia Tully, Karen Moore, and Micheal Lively went to Canada for a month to live and study with Quebec families. Polly explained their agenda. “Each day, she said, we went to a college for language studies. We had four classes totally in French and then we spent the rest of the day do- ing French activities.” Senior Joanna Lawson also spent most of her summer traveling. “This summer.” she explained, I toured California. I got a gorgeous tan. I was supposed to make a lot of money for college, but I didn't. I guess I was too busy tanning.” While some traveled, others stayed home and went to school or work. Junior Andrew Ailera was one who did so. “I went to summer school, not because I had to. but rather to get ahead,” Andy said. “I took Geometry so 1 could take Algebra II my junior year. That way I could get some more math before college.” In th Fourth of July parade drumline member .
