cod times ef summer Summer vacation offered many opportunities. Some students traveled with their families, others with youth groups. Some spent a large part of their time working, while others prepared for the coming school year. Lori Eveloff, 12, who toured Israel with other Jewish students, stated, I learned to be proud of my heritage. Back home when I heard about Israel on TV, it just didn't mean as much as when I was actually there.' The Exclamations, a youth singing group from Holmeswood Baptist Church, participated in a mission tour which lasted for about two and a half weeks. The main purpose of the tour was to witness to people through song and day camps. A large number of students began preparing for this year before the 1980-81 school year was complete. Football, volleyball, and cross-country practices started about the second week of August for two hours. The cheerleaders, Drill Team, and Flag Team practiced three to five days a week. Summer for Centerites was rewarding in varied activities that were both enjoyable and built momentum toward a fantastic new year!

Most students found little difficulty in filling these times. After school, if not staying for the multitude of practices and meetings, many hit the ever waiting television set, refrigerator and or pile of homework. In the case of sophomore Jennifer Brown, she devoted every evening to swimming preparing for February when swim team practices began. Weekend activities brought on their own excitement. Friday night games attracted numerous students followed by a pan pizza from the newly christened hangout, Pizza Hut. Other weekend activities included games of the Royals, Chiefs, and Kings, movies, concerts, or the so called bumming around”. Steve Henderson, junior, commented on his favorite weekend, “The Renaissance Festival was great; the people really got you involved and if you ignored the actors they made a complete fool of you. If the possibility arose to do anything or go anywhere, where would you go? Dreams stretched from extensive travel to far out imaginations. Albert Janssens, junior, shared his dream, If I could go anywhere or do anything I would tour Europe to see the different countries and cultures.” While Dale Scaletty, senior, wished to take over Russia to destroy all nuclear weapons.
