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

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.

New freedoms add confinements The 180 school days passed by in an ever-changing routine, the noisy passage through the halls—the quiet murmur of the library; an informal talk with a friend—the discussions in class; the dusty wood smell of the shop rooms—the ar- oma-filled home economics area. All these comprised a normal day for a BC student. Lunch, classes, and activity period meetings became familiar occurences to all students. Other variations included newly es- tablished practices such as being al- lowed to ride to lunch in a friend’s car, having to watch out for teachers on be- fore-school hall duty, and staying after school if tardy.
