Season In The Sun Traditionally, summer was a time to have fun. For some of us, however, summer was mixed with work. Whether it was mowing lawns or waiting on tables, many students found summer as an opportune time to earn money. Those of us who were not fortunate enough to.be away on vacation, up north at a cabin, or counseling at a camp probably remained in Edina; stuck in the same situation as these high school students. Anita Dayte: O.K. you guys, where should we go? Lotta Zitts: How about Lake Harriet? I’m so white I could puke! Sue Urr: Yeah, that sounds like fun! Anita: Anywhere but Harriet. We go there so much I know the fish by name! Sue: Yeah, I’m sick of Lake Harriet. Lotta: So, what about the country club? Sue: I don’t belong. Anita: That is the understatement of the year. Shoot! If we would have planned it earlier, today’s perfect to go to the Apple River or Valley Fair. By the way, we should get that canoe trip to Taylor’s Falls planned. Lotta: For sure! We have to do that! Hey you guys, I wonder if Cliff will marry Nina after all. Should we go home and watch the soaps? Anita: No, it’s too nice out. Later ... Lotta: C’mon guys, let’s figure out something to do. I hardly have any gas left. Anita: All right. Let’s go catch some rays at the municipal pool. (She cranks the tunes) Lotta: Change the station, I hate this song. Disc Jockey: This is meteorologist Gene Ruben of KSTP. A line of thunderstorms is moving in from the west at 35 m.p.h. Heavy rain and hail are expected. Take cover ... SUMMER 13

Our Finest Hours I Above: Christine DeMoss looks apprehen■ Above: Bruce Springsteen captivates a sold sive as she and Jeanette Johnson borrow out crowd at the Civic Center, toilet paper from Byerly's. Students found many and various ways to fill the hours between the 2:20 freedom bell and the ominous clanging of the 7:40 morning bell. While these hours were perhaps less educational than those spent in school, they were much more enjoyable and provided welcome relief from equations, formulas and dangling participles. Concerts and movies were, as always, popular forms of entertainment. Performers such as Bruce Springsteen and The Cars attracted large and enthusiastic crowds. Food was an ever-present thought on the minds of many. This made Perkin's a popular spot, particularly among Sophomores who appreciated the fact that it was walking distance from school. The more culturally inclined enjoyed concerts at Orchestra Hall, theater at the Guthrie and Dudley Higgs Brave New Workshop or musicals at the Orpheum. Others enjoyed quiet evenings at home, preferably with a member of the opposite sex. Still others could be found driving around late at night with a trunk full of toilet paper, leaves, or “For Sale” signs with which a friend could be victimized. Unfortunately for some, these activities somehow managed to take precedence over health tests, history projects and reading Econ. In spite of this, students could still be found looking for the good times.
