Participating on a softball team, or just being a spectator helped fill the warm summer months. While several Clarkites forfeited a week of vacation to attend workshops, others sprawled on the beach and bronzed their bodies! Typical meeting places like the auditorium steps or Wow Wee became popular gathering grounds for students. Athletes preparing for their oncoming season willingly gave up precious leisure time to prepare themselves physically for a driving, winning season. Many summer evenings were spent beneath the twilight at Bobby Beach, sitting on the sand watching flames of a bonfire or just getting into the music, heightening the days activities! Many eager students as well as not-so-eager students filled the corridors to take advantage of a wide variety of classes offered during the summer term. While nervous driver education students attempted automobile maneuvers, freshmen students receive their first taste of high school life. Whatever the Summer allowed; traveling to the Dunes, rehearsing a couple of nights a week for the July 4th parade, or working to help ease future costs still seemed to give a sense of freedom to young and old alike! So much for those magical months . . . summer vacation 1 1
