GETTING AWAY FROM IT ALL Summer revives, refreshes, renews Summer is the only time of year when I can get away from it all and be by myself for a change, reflected senior Steve Weber over his past summer va- cation. Summer is a time to get away from it all for many of us. Whether it ' s going on a vacation with the family, or working at a part-time job, summer can be very enjoyable. There are numerous ways to fill your summer break. For many juniors and seniors, it ' s a time to earn a little extra money. Junior Tim Borchelt spent his vacation as a lifeguard at the Southeast YMCA here in Fort Wayne. He found it very rewarding to help people in swimming classes. School doesn ' t have to end in the spring as many high school students soon discovered. Whether it was making up work, or just trying to lighten the load for the next academic year, summer school took a good deal of the summer days for some stu- dents. For teachers, summer meant spending a little more time with their families, working at part- time jobs, and going to school to work for advanced degrees. Mr. Luepke and his family vacationed in Michigan for two weeks. He commented, Summer is an op- portunity to explore new and dif- ferent horizons which are not available at other times during the year. The extra time provides avenues to grow as a person. Summer had, for almost every one, a little more freedom in dai- ly routines and activities. ABOVE: Junior Jeff Massucci assigns his Wildcat team members positions at Lane Junior High.

LOCKERS, CLASSES, LOUNGE, LIBRARY Routine part of school experience During the year, students spent over 2,808,000 seconds in a brick building, going from class to class to face the experience called school. Routine can get you mentally bored with your surroundings, said senior Burton Hill. The five minutes between ABOVE: Freshman Mark Beckmann lis- tens carefully while Mrs. Retrum ex- plains an Algebra concept. RIGHT: Sophomore Rachel Cemmer and junior Karen Preus spend a relaxing study hour in the lounge. classes were spent talking to friends, teachers, making a trip to a locker, and taking the usual route to the next class. Lunch time was something everybody looked forward to — if not to eat lunch, to study for the next test, or talk with friends in the lounge. The lounge and library became hang-outs for those who didn ' t spend all day in class. Most used these spots to relax or study. There ' s so much around here we take for granted, said one student. 14 ROUTINE
