Kids Find Time For H and Ft The consensus of students revealed that the most adored part of the year was SUM- MER VAOATION. Studious and non-consci- entious kids alike tended to concur that summer was the time for true living. That a three month rest period was just the cure for exhausted brains and muscles. The conva- lescence time was consumed in various ways. Some spent the days in other states or abroad. Yet, many merely relaxed here in town. Jobs also occupied the hours for a majority of the student body. However, it was not all work and no play! Most found extra minutes to goof off. Sunning beside water, hitting tennis balls, jogging on River- side Drive, bicycling, shopping, cruising streets, biscuting cars, watching soaps and sleeping in after a hard day's night were only a few of the big hits. The free time was overwhelming to students, yet many made the most of it and got out into the world. Parties were quite common and it was al- ways a relief to view familiar faces, even those with disgusting Padre tans. Wheth- er one remained in T-Town was irrelevant. The main thing was for sure, for sure - NO SCHOOL! ABOVE: ONE OF the many summer pasttimes for Dar- ren Scott is listening to mu- sic. He spends hours choosing the right album. RIGHT: STEVE O'MEAFiA finds the lake to be a calm retreat from mounting pres- sures that he endures every day. 8 ' Summer

DURING ONE OF the many after-game mixers Jennifer Duke, Dandre Bettis, Michelle Hudson and Brent Beasley form a train as they boogie to a snappy TUFIG. Activities Prepare Kids Perhaps the most enriching aspect of education was the selection of activities in which students participated. The varied range of school-related functions and ex- tra-curricular interest groups aided in the growth of individuals both mentally and socially. Significant in teaching individuals to work harmoniously with others as adults, these activities provided another type of education equally as vital as erudi- tion. Students were able to interact with many different kinds of people and learn to relate to them in various situations. Part-time jobs, school service and mixers, to name a few, produced well-rounded students and prepared them for a new world. 1 l l i Activities Division 0 7
