Let’s Begin With Summer ’79 Three months and an extra day, that was how long the students of King High had to escape from the nine months of daily school routine. Summer vacation was what they called it. Padre Island attracted many Kingsville residents from their homes to its open sandy beaches. Until, it became sequestered be- cause of the sudden vast oil spill from the Campeche Bay of Mexico that accumulated on the beach. Residents also attended the an- nual World Championship Pinto Bean Cook Off held at the Kleberg park. Some of the activities held were the big pinto bean cook off, Pic 1: After being crowned, Terry McFarland is overjoyed with the honor she has just received as the new Miss Pinto Bean. Pic 2: An empty beach is not very likely in the summer. For Padre Island, it was so because of the oil that accumulated on the shore. Pic 3: Paul Palmer proves how tough he is when it comes to eating very hot jalapenos. 4 Summer Events the crowning of a new Miss Pinto Bean, a jalapeno eating contest, a carnival and other inviting events. As gas. prices skyrocketed throughout the country, vacations were canceled. Because of an energy shortage, President Carter requested that everyone raise their thermostats to 78 degrees. As a result, people turned to local activi- ties instead, such as going to movies, going swimming to nearby pools and beaches, cruising around town, and driving through favorite hangouts, or maybe wrapping ° houses just to kill time. Others kept busy by taking summer jobs that were available to them.
