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

IO MATT WESTFIELD UNWINDS at 7-EIev- en. When students were not at home buried beneath homework or studying for exams, they could often be found at gathering spots around the school. These hang- outs were, more often than not, places to get away from the pres- sures of school. At these spots, they could relax and converse. Most often, the junior high stu- dents could be discovered at Maz- zio's either eating pizza or playing video games. This restaurant be- came a home-away-from-home for many underclassmen, and in the fall, they often discussed highlights from the evening's football game. l3enny's Got lt proved to be a favorite locale for both seniors and underclassmen. Centrally located, friends could easily arrange ren- dezvous to movies, to parties, or to cruise the streets of Tulsa. For seniors, driving around was a favorite pasttimeg but to the ad- venturous, mischievous teens, cruising sometimes turned into commando raids, otherwise known as biscuiting attacks. These daring, devious students dashed around in their autos, searching for familiar cars. There was always the possibility of get- ting caught, but these innocent- looking attackers were willing to take the chance. 0 Hangouts H2inQO Night Life Sparkles Teens Find Fun HARDWOFRKING STUDENTS DISOOVEFI LIFE AFTER SCHOOL NoParkirl9 Ut
