A Terrific Time The first day of the long awaited and anticipated summer began with a boom. Students pulled on their bathing suits, grabbed surfboards and scrounged for suntan oil, as they all made a mad dash for the sparkling white beaches. With school work, homework, exams, and waking up early no longer on their minds, students enjoyed many activities. Among the favorite were sailing, surfing and going to the beach. Girls enjoyed sunbathing and flirting with their favor- ite guy as they caught up on the latest summer gossip with their friends. The guys, on the other hand, were laid back and took full advantage of their summer vacation. Other than the beach, students enjoyed going horseback riding on long trails winding through the woods. Canoeing was also a favorite. Many families took exciting vacations all over the world. These proved to be educational and a lot of fun. Blue Ridge, another summer favorite, once again attracted many students. They excitedly packed their bags and headed for the refreshing break of the Blue Ridge Mountains in North Caroli- na. Summer nights were often spent going to movies or parties with family of friends. Those who enjoyed the out- standing summer sunsets could be seen taking walks along the shoreline and searching for seashells at dusk. As the summer came to an end, many students rushed to the beach to soak up a few last minute rays. Back to school shopping also became a necessity, as both males and females were seen run- ning in and out of stores with numerous shopping bags and boxes. They also at- tempted to catch up on long neglected sleep as school approached. — Brooke Barron 10 SUMMER
