The Summer of ’87 Gut Ttat ? vi$6tteu R ■ 1 each parties with friends, water skiing for the first time, vacation- ing to other places — this is what sum- mer is all about, and students from Bi- loxi High knew how to make the summer of '87 the best ever. Students spent a lot of time partying this summer. Biloxi High bods were bi- kini class or decked out in the wildest printed jams on the hot summer days. The smell of suntan lotion filled the air as teenagers jammed to the latest tunes or just laid out” to catch some golden rays. Trying to keep cool was another fa- vorite pastime. Windsurfing and skate- boarding occupied a lot of teenagers’ time during the hot summer months; others went swimming to beat the heat. On the warm, rainy days teenagers filled the mall. Summer days were filled with fun, but nights were even better. Students at- tended concerts at the Coast Coliseum — including Billy Idol, The Monkees, and Motley Crue — and partied all night long. When else can teenagers stay out until three and sleep until twelve but in the summer? Some teenagers were not able to sleep all day, though. Many teenagers got part-time jobs during the summer. With many new stores opening in and around the mall, employers were look- ing for employees and teenagers were looking for jobs. The school was active during the summer months as many students made up failed courses during summer school. The football team ana the band spent hours practicing during the sum- mer. The yearbook staff, the band, and the cheerleaders went to camps at col- leges across the South. Several Biloxi High students attended Boys' and Girls' State and Governor’s School. Work and play kept most students busy all sum- mer. But, alas, the fun could not last for- ever. When September came, it was back to the books. The last weeks be- fore school began were spent buying new school clothes and taking advan- tage of the last free days and nights. The summer of '87 had been fun, but it was now gone — gone, but not for- gotten. ► Martha Guice and Sonny Shirky socialize while working in Benetton in the mall. A Mickey Mangum reveals a suppressed per- sonality in a womanless beauty pageant at the summer band camp. ► Teens spent the last week ot August shopping for school clothes.
