Some like it hot From June to August the heat was on and the summer sizzled. Picture in your mind lying on a beach; the fiery sun beaming while the thunderous waves crashed against the sand. Or was the summer spent being instructed dribbling the ball or learn- ing the proper form of running the football? Or was your sum- mer spent making money at the local Tastee Freeze or cutting grass for the neighbor? Does this sound familar? Chopticon students erased their minds of homework to vacations, athletic camps, and making money. Members of the Spanish club spent a week broadening their Spanish knowledge with different cultures and life styles. They experienced their first bullfight, wheeled and dealed in the local markets and climbed the pyramids. This unforget- table trip brought many fond memories and hot tamales. Whether it was the Don Nehlen football camp, participation in a winning basketball league or eating funnel cakes on Ocean City beaches, these summer breaks from the monotonous months of school were treasured. In two and half months some school friends had become dis- tant while new friends were found. Summer was just long enough for Chopticon students to anticipate the first day of school once again. Summer Days Hotel Row, Ocean City! The hot spot of those summer days where students enjoyed just lying on the beach during the day and cruising the boardwalk at night. - ■

Judging from our point of view the staff composed this list of “what’s hot and what’s not. ” In 1940, 38 percent of Americans graduated from high school, Today 86 percent do. That’s it! It was our way of com- municating, and getting our point across, after those long hard days at school. “What are you trying to say?”, many teachers asked us, but our reply was always the same, “get a job, get a life. There were always those “slackers”, you know those who slacked, the ones who did neither. It didn’t matter because we were always hitt’in. “Yeah, that’s it that’s the ticket! Don’t you agree?
