01'11 In The Hot, 511 ry Summer Summer artist. One way to make the long two hours pass more quickly is to take a fun class. This student ex- plains his Htree design to other stu- dents in a school art class. 22 STUDENT ATTRACTIONS Two hours a day, five days a week, 13 weeks dur- ing the hot, sultry summer. Summer school at ETSLI was a proven success this year as a total of 4,300 stu- dents attended classes. lntersession, first session, and second session replaced traditional semesters during the summer. Intersession consisted of a fast-pace class continuing for three weeks. The Nation- al Wheelchair Olympic Games were held at ETSU during July of intersession. Wheelchair athletics, a fea- ture class, was part of the curriculum, and four hours credit was given to over one hundred students. Students and volunteers attended class for one week, set up for a week, and contri- buted 50 hours in the final week to help with the games. During the next two ses- sions, each consisting of five weeks, such classes taken included basic English, math, physical education and other major classes. When asked some stu- dents expressed their feel- ings concerning summer school. Several students commented on the brievity of sessions and the tedious routine. Classes were held each day for two hours and tests andT or assignments were usually given each week. Many students favor school during the summer months because they are so busy with assignments and class work. The time passes quickly. Class periods are longer but the sessions are shorter. Summer school also ap- peals to students anxious to graduate, students retaking courses, and students wish- ing to excel or get ahead. Whatever the reason, stu- dents attend summer school, and each class passes more quickly as the summer fades and autumn replaces the humid days. - Sharon Mills Waiting for it to be over. Going to the same class five days a week can take its toll. This student doo- dles the time away waiting for the period to end.
