Heading for the Far Side Where Friend Enjoys Friend “Those days are gone for- ever, | should just let them go.’ — “The Boys of Sum- mer,” Don Henley. Summer came and went, leaving noth- ing more than memories. But, oh, the memories we had! Like summers before, the graduating class, (as well as underclassmen), flooded the shores of Myrtle Beach. Of course, they visited other beaches, but Myrtle Beach seemed to be the favorite. The parties last summer Don’t fall off that rock; it’s a big drop! Scott Powell visited Palm Springs, California, this summer. were in full force, at least one a week, and sometimes as many as three a night. You could name any type of party and, more than likely, it was happening. Every summer, every weekend, there was one thing you could always count on — cruising. Almost eve- ryone came out. Whether it was the family car or our own, cruising was the ticket to the town’s social scene. But the cruising wasn’t lim- ited to our town; lots of cruis- ing was done on Williamson Road in Roanoke until cruis- ing was banned there. Before we knew it, the summer was gone. We knew, though, that more summers would always come. We were already making plans for next summer’s activities with families and friends. “We're born beach bums,” think Sa- rah Moody and Melissa Scott as they “bum out” at Myrtle Beach. Meet me on the sunny side of the street. Caroline Cooper and Donna Kirk stop on a street in Avila to enjoy the scenic beauty that Spain has to offer. Summer 1

First Day ‘‘No Show’ Is Franklin County drown- ing? Well, for a county whose flood count numbers one per twenty-five years, the time between November 1985 and September 1987, which brought three floods ranging from eight inches to eighteen inches, sure made it seem that way. Total damage to Franklin County alone was approximately five million dollars. An extra day, September 8, 1987, of summer vacation A flood of memories. The Ramsey Hall main office gets a bath during the September 7th flood. The flood definitely left its tracks. The track field is bombarded with limbs and other debris. New obsta- cles littered the track field after high winds and pouring rains. 1 Flood Or ... the Flood of ’87? was appreciated by students as the flood of September 1987 took us by surprise. “‘It gave me another chance to get used to the fact that school was really on its way,” said Christie Hodges. Aside from pumping water out of basements and wringing out soaked towels and moving objects to higher grounds, many took advantage of the cancelled first day of school by sleeping late into the day, watching soap operas, and doing last minute amuse- ments to stretch out vacation before returning to the hard life of pencils, papers, and books. Our prediction for the fu- ture? Forget the umbrellas, buy a boat with a bucket and don’t forget the bathing suits; you may need them! At least students were left with yet another first in this year of many firsts — no school on the first day of school! splne ece SILIOEN i
