QF Those lazy days sure are great, especially when they are spent at that wonderful place of sand and sun, the beach. Preparing for the slam, Jeff Joyce sweats it out during a summertime tennis game at the llllhirlie tennis courts. Summer- a time for Sun, Unending fun, Music, Merriment, Entertainment, and Relaxation. lt had to be the most anxiously awaited season of our lives, all Whirlies were impatient for those long, lazy days when our biggest con- cern was when to get up in the morn- ing. Happily, homework, tests, and teachers were a distant memory as three months of the good ole summer- time stretched infinitely before us. We came, we saw, we watched GHOST- BUSTERS several times, we visited THE TEMPLE OF DOOM with indiana Jones,and rejoiced with Prince in PUR- PLE RAIN. We went to the beach where we mercilessly baked ourselves under the brightness of a sometimes unrelenting sun, and the gentle whis- pering of an ocean breeze made it all worthwhile. We frolicked at the pool while listening to I wear my sun- glasses at night and The Heart of Rock and Roll. We attended concerts Summer Sun Brings Unending Fun je E 22' rim 1-... . like THE CARS and HUEY LEWIS AND THE NEWS. We watched end- less hours of the 1984 Olympic games hosted by Los Angeles, from the spec- tacular opening ceremonies with their great excitement, and also their sol- emnity as the Olympic torch wound up its cross-country trek in the hands of Rafer Johnson as he lit the Olympic flame. We experienced that fervered excitement as chants of USA swept across that Olympic city and across the country- filling us all with a new patriotic awareness. We fell in love with gold medal gymnast Mary Lou Retton and the swimmers Steve Lund- quist and Rowdy Gaines. We cried tears of joy as Carl Lewis tied the monumental Olympic record set earlier by Jesse Owens in the 1936 Olympics, and tears of sorrow as Mary Decker's hopes for Olympic gold were extin- guished by British newcomer Zola Budd. Too soon, both the Olympic games and the summer months of freedom were drawing to a close, an ending in both so sweet and so very fi- nal. Now listen up! directs Coach Smouse as he coaches the Whirlie Football team on a hot summer day. Summer 19
