On Your Own Ti me I must've done everything there is to do in Bedford and Cleveland over last summer ' stated Tom Cichan, and I never knew there was so much here! I guess 1 never gave my own city a chance. I was really surprised when I found so many other BHS students at things like the Strawberry Festival, the Lions' Club Carnival, the downtown sidewalk sale, and the Fourth of July festivities. It was also kind of neat to see other students at the various concerts held in and around Cleveland during the summer, continued Sharon Yoho. It's interesting to see people you'd never expect at a Gordon Lightfoot concert or an Andy Gibb show really getting into the music. I also went to yearbook camp dur- ing the third week of June, she add- ed. It was a working vacation but be- ing with my friends, no matter where, is a big part of summer. Friends are important but so is family. Each year my parents pick out a tourist attraction in another city and we spend a week or two there, explained Kathy O'Neil. We always have family reunions in one state or another, said Lynda Titterington. Our family is large and scattered over the country we need some special time to get to know one another. For those who cannot afford the time to travel far there was the amuse- ment parks with their latest scariest coasters or corkscrews. Geauga Lake was a great way to soend a day. felt Tom Cichan. It is close to home, big enough to keep you busy, but not so big you feel you've missed something when you leave. There was only one way to sum up the summer before 1980, according to senior Debby Gorenc. Friends, family, memories, and music—the best things in life and they really are free! Command performance.

The band [Mew It Despite the rain the 1979 prom on May 25 was well organized and pre- sented no problems to the junior class, according to Steve Herbik, master of ceremonies. The evening began at 8:00 in the Brookridge Party Center. Couples ar- rived as the Sabers performed Look- ing for a Dream ' the theme for the dance. Queen Julie Kunkel entered, es- corted by Joe Capone. I knew it would be one of the best nights of my life, and it was, she later said. Other couples expressed the same thoughts as memories came back to them. With the lights dimmed and the band playing 'Feelings' the garter dance was a romantic moment of the evening, recalled Gaylynn Guthrie. The traditional garter dance usually took place during an announced song. The escort knelt on one knee provid- ing a seat for his date. Then he re- moved a garter from her right knee. But in 1979 the band forgot to an- nounce it beforehand. Many couples were dancing with friends. They had to rush across the floor to their dates. Some had trouble getting the garters off and one or two escorts were look- ing at the wrong leg. It was a bit con- fusing but leant humor to prom.
