— {July — July 4, 1981: declaring their independence from school, students celebrated this holiday in many ways. During the daytime, one could be found at a nearby park playing football or throwing the fris-bee. The weather was beautiful, so many people went to the water slide or went swimming in their neighborhood pool. Since the weather was inviting, several took advantage of this by having a picnic near the LSU lakes. Some students went to their family camps where they fished, wa-terskiied. or sailed. As the sun set, students headed toward the levee or to a party. Spirits were high, for this was a special holiday for everyone. Throughout the night, fireworks decorated the darkness and added excitement to the air. July 4. 1981 was certainly a time of celebration. Whit© eotng at BYRONZ.
