We had three months... ll To Ourselves The sun is shining and the air is sultry. Half- clad bodies are stretched out here and there, striving for the ultimate tan. This is it. This is summer, the time we've all waited for. No more pencils, no more books. No more teachers dirty looks . . . But wait, what is that in the distance? Kids are walking to- wards school, pencils and books in hand. Where are they going? To a strange place far away. A place children have nightmares of, a fear among fears. Yes, it is summer school. But wait. Over here. There are more kids, sunglasses and ghetto blasters in hand. Where are they going? To Lucky Peak. The closest thing to paradise we have. Where wa- terskiing, swimming, windsurfing and jetskiing are done and perfected. A place where friends spend hot summer days swimming and waterskiing, and cool summer nights roasting marshmallows over an open fire. But then look again. There are kids in their bed- rooms. What are they doing? They are pack- ing, stuffing endless amounts of tank tops and tee-shirts into suitcases. Where are they going? On a vacation with the family, where spending money and eating too much is a way of life, a fabulous way of life. Over the summer, most everyone did their own thing. For some people like Melanie Weidner, the school year didn't end on June 7th, 'll just went to summer school. Boring, but now I have some classes out of the way. Others went to summer school to make up lost credits or just to get ahead. Some people spent their vacation in a very different way like Jenny Ross for instance who uwent to Hawaii and just lazed around on the beach. For those fortunate ones, summer was a time for no work and all play. f it my ti ,Nw st . .XX Nh t ttf wet lem . l-an l. i l .Q t . jj. .W . iii .. kph A r.iri -.

Various events created. .. A Slzzling Summer We grew up together. Tony, Jim, Ron, Dave, Jeff, Dan, K.T., and Woz, the Egyptian nose. Tony was always the laid back kind of guy with a superior air about him and a mischievious smile. Dan was a little spaztic. But that's what made us, us. We needed a different identity, away from Jocks and Punkers. Our own name. The l-lippies. We spent all summer together. Whether it was basking by the pool, seeing who could inhale the most hamburgers, girl watching, or just cruising around in the Beater , our big blue piece of car, it was the best summer of ourlives. . . Camp- ing, waterskiing, softball cham- pionships, Expo '86, or long hours in summer school, every- one remembers something sig- nificant from their summer, land its bound to be the topic of your first six essaysl Long hours of laziness replaced te- dious hours of book staring, and a suntan became a daily chore. Some people found sum- mer jobs, like flipping burgers and lifeguarding at the local pool. But probably the most treasured time spent was with close friends. Later curfews meant growing freedom, lwhich meant curfews get broken more than oncel. Friends got to- gether. There were concerts in the park, concerts at the Pavil- lion, movies, dancing, parties, and hours of iust doing nothing, a summertime specialty. ' '... lt seems that no matter what we were doing. If we were together, we had fun, because that's what summer is all about. ll 5 ivllllumgf LO WM? .
