STUDENT LIFE Student life is a river ... a river that runs to every possible variation of life styles. Some like to rock with Led Zeppelin while others may disco to Donna Summer. But not only music is different among students. All tastes are represented — tastes in friends, clothes, life styles. This mixture makes a wide variety c choices available to all who get together i enjoy the variations. But the variations are just streams com- ing together to form something bigger . . .

Summer turned dreams The hands of the clock reach 3:09, the final bell rings summoning the students from their seats. It ' s the official opening of another Bruin summer! Blackford students have always taken part in summer camps. Camps and work- shops attended included Band, cheerlead- ing, journalism, basketball, drama, gym- nastics, wrestling, and a youth conserva- tion corps attended by Melanie Rogers. Her duties at the camp included setting up playground equipment and making a na- ture trail. Varsity cheerleaders spent their camp time at Kalamazoo, Mich. Three placed in a contest of the top ten cheer- leaders of 400 — Doug Myers, Dave Case and Julie Bailey. Manchester College again provided a summer camp for Band members. Direc- tor Fread was honored by seniors in a new version of Steve Martin ' s King Tut, re- named King Fread. Besides the usual summer vacation to Florida, Grandmas and the lakes, four Blackford students traveled abroad. Amy Holcombe saw the famous sights in Greece, Debby Overmyer spent the sum- mer in Holland, and Deanna and Dean Brown took a cruise to the Carribean. Summer jobs varied from mowing lawns to working at the new Burger Chef and lifeguarding at the pool. The girls playing Softball last summer had a different kind of job, one of playing a game, doing their best — and winning. The ending of summer is always sig- naled by the Montpelier Jamboree. This year ' s queen was Blackford ' s Brigit Farl- ing. Summer time was filled with sizzling in the sun with the stereo up too loud for the neighbors ... a date going to the movies and cruisin ' the strip . . . Summer days drifting away, But oh, those Summer Nights! Working together as a team is always stressed in basketball. Camp brought many people together as a team. Two Here Kendra Ducy and Lynn Lefevre. Ready to leave their cruise boat, the Carta C, and tour La Guairra on a Carribean cruise are Deanna and Dean Brown. The trip lasted a week.
