955 School Closed? Not Hardly Dobyns-Bennett does not completely shut down after graduation, as many stu- dents discovered this sum- mer when they attended summer school. ln addition to the Dobyns-Bennett stu- dents normally ambling through the halls, there were pupils from Lynn View, Church Hill, Ketron, and Sur- goinsville. Subiects available ranged from Advanced Composition to Principles of Economics. These courses had basically the same format as their school year counterparts but had been condensed to On July 4, 1977, the pa- rade, the climax of the American Legion com- memorations, proceeded down Center Street, attract- ing many spectators. D-B's cheerleaders and band showed their spirit in the pa- rade. Cheerleaders and band members were not the only participants from Dobyns- Bennett. Many individuals were riding on floats or en- tertaining the crowds in oth- er ways. WKPT had the parade on television live for almost five minutes. The station, then, ran into difficulties which prevented many people at home from viewing the pa- rade. S fill the limited time of study. Students attended four hour classes for full year courses and two hour classes for se- mester courses. Summer school provided an opportunity to learn for both the students who want- ed to improve their grades in a class that they failed dur- ing the regular school term and the students who wished to earn extra credits. But it was not all work, teen- agers from different schools had an opportunity to social- ize and compare ideas, not only during class but also during the short hourly breaks. Students Plan MGI L9 Students This summer fifteen D-B students, along with teacher participant Linda Onks, took part in the Ambassador Abroad Program. Those par- ticipating were Susan Mad- dox, Cindy Terriil, Blake Long, Renee Pearman, Lauri Brummit, Mary Vest, Karen Andersen, Alicia Gage, Beth Weatherly, Vicki Throp, Jere Sue Hubbard, Robin Church, Priscilla Ball, Amy Notting- ham, and Sondra Wood- ward. A This program was a 22 day trip to 12 European coun- tries including England, Hol- land, Belgium, Luxemburg, Leichenstein, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, San Mar- inos, Italy, Monacco, and France. Some of the highlights of the trip were the six-hour overnight plane ride on a Tour Europe 747 jet to London, a ride on a double decker bus, being in London during the Queen's Silver Jubilee, watching the Mannekin Pis, a statue, having lunch while cruising down the Rhine River, taking a cograil up Mt. Pilatus - 7000 feet high, Eichhof in Lucerne, a birthday in Rome, strolling through Trivoli Gardens, vis- iting Vatican City and St. Pe- ter's Basilica, being 'sere- naded on Veniciani gondola while enjoying Bianco Ma- donna, driving through the endless alps, meeting all kinds of people including Australian cricket players and Monty B., sunbathing on the French Riviera, night clubbing in Paris, and leaving France on Bastille Day. Wassaill Early Rides, Games, ' For Classes Good Times Reign ln August of this year, Do- byns-Bennett registered 1,950 students. The classes filled up quickly, creating some problem for students needing specific classes to meet requirements. The Student Council, indi- vidual students, teachers, and guidance counselors as- sisted in registration. When a student came to register, he had his school picture taken and he could order an annual and activity card. Downtown Kingsport was the sight of the 1977 Ameri- can Legion Carnival. Reloca- tion from the Mason-Dixon -- Stone Drive lot to the Clinchfield Street lot, ap- proximately three years ago, resulted in fewer rides due to smaller space. Although smaller than in years past, the carnival still The purpose of registering in August wasto insure prop- er placement of students and to help balance classes to prevent overload. provided a fun place to go and fun things to do. Neon lights, rides, games to test skills, and games just for fun -- all are a part of that spe- cial time that comes only in summer. Profits made from the car- nival go toward scholarships and charities. The Veteran's Hospital and the Children and Youth Funds are 1 the main beneficiaries of these funds. . ii it in, 'L X . ,fa N11 f '35 sits Signs l - . lf' i iz Summer!25
