8 Fair, Carnival add variety to summer The Jackson County Fair provided an opportunity for Centralites to talk to friends they had not seen during the summer vacation. Riding the “Zipper,” and the double ferris wheel, viewing the various sideshows, or participating in the different contests were other activities that filled fair week. Many BC students also attended the Freetown 4th of July celebration and the carnival held in mid- July. Five students attended Boys’ and Girls’ State at Indiana State University. Seven students went to journalism work- shops at IU and Franklin, and several were awarded for their work. The varsity and reserve cheerleaders spent a week at IU, and both squads returned with several ribbons and a spirit stick. SS a cm TOP: Jim Wayman works at Morgan’s Packing Co. during the summer.

STUDENT LIFE (stood’ ent lif) prob- ably originated in primeval times with the advent of formal education. Through the ages, this term has come to represent the activities of students out- side of the formal classroom, and is most closely associated with other ac- tivities than that of “book-learning.” (See Sports, Organizations). Playtime ... recesses ... the carefree joy of childhood, all memories of the past ..... where we have been. The constant struggle to press onward, aim- ing for the future, contending with the present. With friendship, games, and joyfulness or in monotonous situations. Where do we go from here?

ABOVE: Night use of the tennis courts by enthusiasts or potential team members was made possible by the installation of new lights. UPPER LEFT: The pool was a prominent part of the summer for some students-not only as an es- cape from the heat but also as a summer job. Sherry McKain and Anna M. Dickinson clean the pool slide, part of their summer job at the pool. FAR LEFT: Several high school and junior high boys devoted many long hours to summer foot- ball practice. The boys spent two hours each morning on football techniques and exercises. High temperatures made afternoon workouts dif- ficult, so practice was held in the evenings, from 5:00 to 7:00. ABOVE: Helping out on the farm occupies the summer of many students such as Marc Lahrman, who operates a combine. Summer Life 9
