I WHILE I WAS Ienjoyed ANVILLEN, , t2II3iZ1..1W.ff2mSfiE' Brrrrrrring! The last bell of the day sounded throughout the school building. This bell, howev- er, had a special sound. It was followed by pande- moniumg it signaled the end of school and the be- ginning of summer, three months of sleeping late, no schedules to follow, and best of all, no homework. Some students were for- tunate enough to leave Danville for their vacation, while others stayed in town for activities such as summer P.E. and swim- ming. I went to Kings Island, Indiana Beach, and Nash- ville Tennessee. Fortunate- ly, while I was in Danville, I enjoyed swimming, play- ing tennis, and attending summer P.E., replied sophomore Michelle Brink. Other students didn't go out of town for vacations but stayed in Danville to earn extra money for var- ious reasons. I enjoyed being a life- guard at the Elks club this summer. It was an interest- ing experience to say the least, exclaimed sopho- more Ken Koerber. Swimming was very popular with students dur- ing the summer. It was a way to cool off as well as provide a place to meet and socialize with new friends. This summer I went swimming a lot to get a tan because there wasn't much else to do in Danville, stated sophomore Paula Denney. While many students complained of boredom, others found things to do in Danville to keep them occupied. I went to the Ratt con- cert in Danville and to a lot of parties, said sopho- more jason Mitchell. Whatever students did during the summer months, it was a very wel- come change of pace that everyone enjoyed stepping into. -- Candidly Speaking ..... ll A o .g ,,.. , Q S W ,.,. at w , ittt ft . ,,,,.. jjjjj J ij I swam an awful lot tiiito? ,,..

' PLACE T0 pm Problems And W Y. Parents Want to get away for something to do, some- thing out of town and out of the ordinary? Why not try camp? Camps were a kind of link between sum- mer and school, something to keep a person enter- tained and busy. Camp is a place to get away from parents and problems. I've also learned more about myself, com- mented junior Kerri Rol- lins- Almost everyone had to agree that one of the bene- fits from going to camp was making new friends. f At marching band camp, I learned the music and how to march the drill. But one of the most impor- tant things was that I made a lot of new friends, said sophomore Mark jackson. Some people greatly benefited from the camp they attended like Senior Wendy Llewellen, who placed first in pompette competition, and Senior Christy Holler, who placed second. It feels great to have done as well as I did espe- cially when I didn't expect to place, said Holler. There were so many dif- ferent camps, like band, cheerleading, pompette, and even church camp. I went to church camp, and it taught me that reli- gion can be fun. I also went to camp because I had an excellent time the two pre- vious years, and I really en- joyed all the friends I knew and the friends I made, said sophomore Chad Mar- tin. Participants seemed to enjoy gettin away from it all for awhie. It was not surprising that so many students took advantage of the camp experience as they have done in the past. DRINKING A SIX pack of pepsi, wearing make-up, and singing I'm a Greeny were some of the prices sophomore Kevin Spicer had to pay for being an underclassman at band camp. iPhoto by M.
