,AENQQK in Rouhne School, as we know it, with its tests, books, and rigidly controlled schedules, does not extend into the summer months. Students begin to anticipate their freedom a few months after school begins in the fall. Summer is a time of independence, when each individual must decide upon his or her own course of action. Whether students plan to work, travel, or merely sleep, vacation is looked forward to as a relief from schooI's arduous routine. There are a whole lot of things I do during the summer, but I couldn't possibly name them all. I like to use summer to its full capacity and yet be lazy at the same time, doing what I can and as much as I can day to day, says Junior Dave Griffin. Relaxation is the primary motive for most students during the summer months. The sleepless nights of the school year are replaced by near hibernation during the first weeks of vacation. During the summer, I like the luxury of sleeping late and then going out to drive at night, perhaps stopping for something to eat, explains Senior Lisa Marks. Summer is a time for friends. Hanging out at a favorite spot with comrades is the most familiar type of socializing. For the younger teenager, who is parentally transported, fast food restaurants provide an excellent meeting place. The older, driving students patronize such places as The Ground Round, where they can be assured good, live entertainment. Highway 100 sees many students driving between the multitude of hangouts that flourish along it. The lakefront is also a popular place for repose, with students huddling before fires in a vain attempt to avoid the chilling lake breezes, or craning their necks to get a good view of the yearly Fourth of July fireworks show. . Time, to try new things or participate in old favorites, remains the most singular and important aspect of summer vacation. Pioneering students learn to enjoy activities that they were previously not introduced to. In one afternoon on a secluded lake, a student first experiences the joy of sailing. Enterprising students plan and complete a weekend bike trip for the first time. Every student gains something from the independence and freedom of these months. Imagination is the only limit to what one can accomplish during the summer. Desires are fulfilled and fantasies are realized until the school year once again looms near and the freedom of summer becomes tedious, almost a routine of its own, and students find relief in a more structured life and a chance to meet their friends at school once again. 11, Summer's favorite and most famous holiday, the fourth of July, culminates with dazzling displays of fireworks ln all cities across the nation. This stupendous burst of colors occured at the Summerfest fireworks, where many thousands of Milwaukee area residents go for the evening festivities. 121 Beautiful sunsets over rolling fields are an lnseperable pert ofthe summer scenery, adding to the splendor of this season. 131 What would summer be without cool, refreshing lakes and sailing on these lakes? Many Centralltes enioy the water and beaches of lakes during their vacations. Q41 As the sun goes down the water becomes placid, and lakes become mostly deserted. 10 f Summer ' 3111- .F Il' 1 e.srmff ggM r .Q . . , I ug. , ,wiir . I A ' g,,f.Qg- L 'fiHr1'f ' ' , ' ' . .

A N W Aww Wgve A HQWQWWQVQ A NEW LUCK New wave is a new look at the 1980's. This new style means a lot of things, new wave means not con- forming, being original, and wearing hightops and bermuda shorts. To some people, wave, as it is called by its aficionados, is a way of life. Never before have there been so many places to go and so many bands to see. Never before have there been so many ways to dress and act, because that is exactly what new wave isg dressing as you want to, whatever that may be. Kim Sphar, pictured, sports clothes in the new wave style. A few of the more popular outfits include army fatigues, brightly-col- ored hightop tennis shoes, jackets covered with saftey pins and buttons, psychedelic shirts, and tight straight- legged pants. Top sellers in the New York fashion scene of Macy and Bloomingdale's are reported to include minidresses, pedal pushers, futuristic jumpsuits, and space boots. Accenting the diversity of this new wave is the fact the old clothes have been updated, but used in a new sense, so whatever anyone wears, no one can say whether it is right or it is wrong. Wave people not only dress with originality, but their hairstyles show a lot of creativity also. The Spike, bet- ter known as the Brush Cut, is extremely popular among new wave fans, but brightly colored hair is even more of a trip. It is not unusual to see someone at a wave bar with pea- cock blue, Chinese red, deep purple, and wicked yellow patterned in their hair in all shapes, ranging from rain- bows to hearts to the person's ini- tials. As senior Lisa Tannert says, Being original is all it takes. 12 X A New Wave a 3 S l L l .. . l
