!l i I Senior Kerri Cody frequently takes time out during the sum- mer to kick back and relax in her bedroom with a midday snack. Lakeview and Timberline res- idents definitely thought it was a sizzhng summer. They had the opportunity to experience the sound of sizzhng flames which surrounded their homes on June 26, 1987. The enormous fire began at ap- proximately 4 p.m. Friday after- noon and lasted long into the night. Many families were forced to take pets and valuables and evacuate from their homes. All the entries into the area were blocked off because of heavy smoke and giant flames. Extra firemen and volunteers were called to the scene. Even- tually the fire was brought under control. Extensive damage was done to the land and structures. It was a night that will never be forgotten by Lakeview and Tim- berline residents. Beaches were surely considered a hot spot. Oily bodies sizzled in the sun ' s hot rays, trying to achieve the ultimate tan before the first day of school. It was ex- tremely important for the girls to have golden brown legs before they wore their mini-skirts. And guys. ' They just looked bet- ter with a good tan. The frus- trating thing was that the girls worked desperately to get dark, and the guys seemed to get dark without even going to the beach. Other people, better known as couch potatoes, sat at home the majority of the summer and watched sizzling romances on their favorite soap operas. For- tunately these people were able to relax and gain knowledge of what happened on Days of Our Lives and General Hospital. Unfor- tunately, these people also gained a few unwanted pounds. Quite a few people sizzled away making hamburgers and other greasy foods at local fast food res- taurants. All of the grease may have caused big ugly zits, but money was money! And when the weekend rolled around, money was a necessity. Otherwise with- out it, one found himself in bed snoring, instead of out for a siz- zling night on the town. by Margie Gornik What made your summer sizzle? Nothing, my summer was kind of boring, except for visiting my cousins in Southern California and go- ing to the Angels game in Anaheim. — Lori Thomas, 12.

The insistent ringing of the alarm clock at 6:30 am signalled for many students the beginning of a new school year. After two and one half months of sleeping in, stu- dents thankfully hit the snooze alarm and slept another ten minutes before being fiendishly reminded that it was lime to get going if they were going to be at school before the 7:40 tardy bell rang. Knowing thai when they got to school they could complete the task of waking up by buying a coke from one of the seven coke machines that were stationed throughout the school, students began co trickle onto the campus expecting things to be as they always had been. This, however, would be a year of changes students quickly found out. Arriving at school many students headed straight for one of those friend- ly, life-giving coke machines. To their surprise, it was not where it was sup- posed to be. It had disappeared as had all the other coke machines except for the one in the Student Store, but it wasn ' t open during class. What had happened? Where had they gone? This question was angrily asked by many students who could not un- derstand why they were forced to do without cokes during class. According to Principal Pat Hallei, the coke machines were removed be- cause many students the previous year had found it more important to get a coke than to get to class on time. Tardies had increased significantly, and teachers and administration had made the decision to remove the coke ma- chine distraction. Because tardies had become such ; problem, a new tardy policy was int stituted. Under this new policy a parent or guardian was notified on the seventh tardy of the semester, and on the ninth tardy, the student was assigned to gar- bage detail. On this duty students picked up trash during lunch or after school. Along with the removal of coke ma- chines and the institution of garbage detail, computer scheduling was anoth- er change that affected students. Although the new system of com- puter scheduling added an extra day to summer, many students did not like that system as the computer, ai least this first year, assigned students to classes that they either didn ' t want or gave them teachers they didn ' t like. So many unexpected changes and so many different attitudes taken toward them! But, then . . . So. what did you expect?
