ie Xe: Whether at home or abroad, students had fun in the sun SCHOOL WAS OUT and summer vacation was in. By the time June rolled around students and faculty were ready to have some hot fun in the summer time. It was time to break out of the student and teacher mold that had developed over the 180 day school year. Instead, students and teachers took on a new role, being tourists and vacationers. Some students and teachers were fortunate enough to travel abroad. Junior Jamilia Casey not only visited a country, Malaysia, she lived there for 3 months. Mr. John Speidel, a social studies teacher spent 5 weeks of his summer vacation with his wife in San Martin. However, even though other students might not have traveled abroad, it didn’t necessari- ly mean they didn’t have a good time. Seniors Kim Whitebread and Tina LaPrade, like many, traveled to Myrtle Beach with families. Going to Myrtle Beach was fun but meeting someone from school there made it even more enjoyable. Kim said, “‘The beach was always nice but this year it was better since Tina was there. I especially enjoyed going down on the strip at midnight and see- ing all those guys. It was sad when the last day rolled in.” Hump Backs. Came l racing? Only in Australia. Trips abroad were the things dreams were made of. Summer Life 17

Fit For A King. Soaking up the sun at King’s Dominion, Seniors Kim Whitebread and Tina Laprade spend their vaca- tions together. Not only did they travel to Richmond, Virginia together, later in the summer they traveled to Myrtle Beach. Smith Mountain Memories. Some students only had to look in their own back yards for something to do. Kevin Wray and Cathy Hodges spent much of their summer together at Franklin County’s hot spot, Smith Mountain Lake. Myrtle Beach Days. Like many students, Diana Grigorieff headed to Myrtle Beach during the summer months. Myrtle Beach was famous for its shore during the day, and ‘‘the strip,” Ocean Boulevard, during the night. 16 Summer Life

Money for something Overrings. Twenty-eight dollars for one soda? Dana Brown finds her mistake amusing though the customer might not think so. A Beef People. Winn-Dixie customers always got a pleasant smile from cashier, Kim Wagoner. Dairy Queens. Wanda Furrow, Cindy Spencer, and Sabrina Hodges worked various shifts at a local favorite, Dairy Queen. Sometimes keeping up with school and work was difficult, but the three managed. 18 Jobs MONEY WAS WH AT FCHS students always seemed to be short of. The only answer to this problem for many students was an after school job. Several up- perclassmen and sophomores had to get jobs to pay car expenses. Other students needed jobs just to pay for school necessities and some just wanted a little pocket money. For many students, however, after school and weekend jobs were needed for that all im- portant date. A few students like Philip Lentz, who works on a dairy farm, got out of school early to g to work. ‘“‘Sometimes my job does interfere with my school work,” Philip said, ‘“‘but I stil like this kind of work and hope to continu farming after I graduate.”’ Other students, such as Tonia Garber, whe babysat, didn’t go to work until after 3:15 p.m. Though these students didn’t leave school early, they still managed to put ir several hours at their various jobs. Tonia said, “I like babysitting, but the money is what I enjoy the most.”
