A time for sun and surf Once the final bell had rung students entered their favorite time of the year, SUMMER. The long awaited season had arrived and everyone was free from books and studying. Many headed for the beautiful white beaches of our area. The girls worked all summer to achieve a golden tan characteristic to Florida; while the guys avidly watched the waves and perfected their surfing talents. Sailing attracted many stu- dents and their sails seemed to fill up the bayous and gulf. Summer nights brought on a new atmosphere. At dusk a glorious sun- set was always produced on the western horizon. Young couples could be found taking romantic walks along the shore in the glisten- ing moonlight. Blue Ridge, another summer event, was a break from the Florida beaches to the mountains of North Carolina. It gave the students a chance to meet people from differ- ent places as well as get to know their friends and themselves better. The summer drew to a close and students dreaded the return of school. They were reminiscent of their summer days and how they were spent. — Michele Harris 4 18 SUMMERTIME

Y-clubs run the state gov. As the 1983 Youth-Legislature Pro- gram began, the tedious task of re- searching bills started. A series of meetings was held to help with ideas for bills and to teach debate techniques to Choctaw delegates. Friday morning started with a joint session in the House Chamber, after which the legislators went to their respective chambers and began their sessions. While the legislators were debating, lobbyists observed and sent information to the legisla- tors. and the judicial program met in the newly restored old capitol. Saturday, delegates met for a last joint session and awards were presented. Danny O'Rourke and Kenny Roberts sponsored the Best Bill in the Senate. Jack Binger, first runner-up for Outstanding States- man in the Senate, was elected 1984 Senate President. Tim Hawkey was elected to succeed Marty Les- ter as Speaker of the House Pro- Tern. Cathy Blizzard and Cathy Keefe were first runners-up for Out- standing Pages in their respective chambers. After the awards were announced, the 26th Annual Youth- Legislature, soon to be called Youth in Government, was adjourned. — John Webster 2 20 YOUTH-LEGISLATURE
