Students Love Good Old Summertime Counting the days until summer vacation begins, students often combine worx and pleasure. Many spend their summer days working for the park leaving their evenings open for leisurely pleasure. Softball, swimming, or just climbing on a bike and heading off can always be enjoyed even in the summer heat. Softball, one of the most popular sports, always attracted big crowds, especially when the Crickets battled Apple Valley for the first place spot. In the boys ' competion the Warriors, a team from North, and the Donks made it seem like the old school days with North vs. South. Swimming was always enjoyable either day or night. At Paddlers, Wilson, or even in the back yard, sounds of splashing, plunging, and diving were heard. From ten-speeds down to tricycles, people of all ages found bicycling a favorite past time as well as good exercise. Long bike hikes to Pere Marquette or just a short spin around the block often were refreshing. This summer a few new fads appeared; skateboards and frisbee sales boomed. Dates often played minature golf because the girls and boys were evenly skilled. After vacation days were over and school resumed, students began counting the Mondays until sum- mertime. 30
