EMM SWA j Z If X t wasn t just a it was belief, and a way of life. After l une, l uly, and August had evaporated away uri- der the fury of plus lOO degree days, Del City I-ligh School students kept a firm grasp on summer, or at least the sentiments of that time. Armed with the eagerness to keep the feeling alive, even after classes resumed, the possibilities were endless. The endless summer provided an opportunity for many to put in overtime, whether on the job or at foot- ball or band practice. Enrollment day offered a transi- tion period as students sank back into their roles but with renewed enthusiasm. Friday nights provided an outlet for good times inhibited throughout the week while student resourcefulness conquered construction blues. Schoolwork didn't have to consist of monoto- nous paperwork as Career Week and countless semi- nars testified. As winter closed its grasp in late October, it was obvious that summer had finally come to an end, but outfitted in Hawaiian prints and lams, the Eagles kept the feeling alive. As long as their selfless dedication to this way of life continued and their unlimited devotion never wavered, students knew the sun would never set on their endless summer , and by channeling the same enthusiasm into Del City I-ligh School, students discov- ered the most important way to be true to their school.

Hearn it imeott ummer to some people was a time to stay out late and sleep all day, or maybe spend the day lounging by the pool with a glass ot iced tea beside you. To some it was a time to catch up on the soap operas you couldnt watch during the school year. Movie butts spent time catching up on summer movies, such as Back To The Future or Pee-Wee's Big Ad- venture. Though laziness seemed to be a tavorite past time in the summer many Del City students took time out from the summer vacation to actually work. Many students held down jobs during the summer months. Athletes spent time practicing in preparation tor the upcoming season during the school year. Band mem- bers were also required to participate in summer band. Several Del City students participated in a program sponsored by Mr. Calaway at the Qmniplex. During the summer these students operated the pop corn machine and the harmonograph machine. They also were re- quired to walk around the omniplex explaining exhibits to visiting guests. For this and several other things they were required to do, they received one high school science credit. Keri Boyd stated, l recommend people do it because it's a tun way to get credit and learn a lot. The Pom-Pon Squad was also very busy practicing twice a day tor two hours each time as they prepared tor OU's clinic. For the tirst time the squad received both the superior ribbon and the sweepstakes trophy at clin- ic. A very happy Cary Matthews explained, 'tOur main goal tor the summer was to get a superior and sweep- stakes at clinic and we did it. An ever busy yearbook statt was hard at work during the summer on the next year's yearbook. They attended the annual yearbook seminar at OCC and began pre- paring tor the upcoming year.
