Staffer: Have you thought about where you're going to college? Sungoddess: Somewhere in the sun belt, where I can cop a few rays between classes. l really don't know. The above conversation could have been between many GHS students this past summer. In Galesburg there were numerous places to go for tanning, swimming, golfing, or sliding. Among those were Lakelawn, Soangetaha, Lake Bracken, Oak Run, and Lake Storey. New in the area was the Rapid Ride waterslide. It was one of a kind as senior Shari Kellogg explained, At first when you go down, you think it's boring. Until you get about halfway, that's when you pick up speed. It opened Memorial Day weekend and closed Labor Day weekend. Senior Nancy Adcock said, I went out Memorial weekend. There were a whole bunch of people there! GHS students were also involved with their various jobs. Junior Greg Nixon commented, I worked all summer, played golf every day, and participated in Eve golf tournaments. Traveling was also a favorite pastime. Senior Grace Snowden had a busy summer because she moved from Germany to Mary- land to Illinois to Maryland and back to Illi- nois. Those not into all that hustle and bus- tle took more leisurely trips like junior Anne Simmons. I decided to fly to California to see my relatives and to catch up on some scuba diving. Closer to home was sophomore Denise Smith. I visited friends in Rock Island, went to summer basketball games, and was in the work program, Jill Viane, sophomore, had a musical summer. 'il went to the LI of I music camp with Kathy Sward. But, I had fun in Galesburg while I was here. Happy to be back in the United States, senior Kevin Crandall took his recreation seriously. I slept late. I'd go out and swim at the pool. Then, I went and saw movies. It was great being back from the Philippines. Oh! I went to New Mexico for two weeks, too. The ever-continuing sagas of daytime tele- vision attracted many fans. Sophomore Karen Robinson kept it simple, she slept 'til about IO, got up, watched soaps, and went to 'the CIub'. Junior Kristi Manual summed it all up, I love summer! But before you know it, fall creeps up on you and knocks you over with a pile of books. limi Senior Andy Weigand plummets into Lakelawn water at 9.8 meters per second.
