The vacation that isn't ow many of us spent two weeks driving across the country while dad keeps going to historical sights, like the worlds biggest ball of yarn. Mom cries the whole time because she finally has everyone together. Your ancient grandma is driving everyone crazy because she wants to stop every five minutes. All this time, you are being forced to sit between your brotty four-year-old sister who insists on mimicking your every word and your over-grown seventeen year old brother who practices his football tackles on you in the back seat of the cor. Carrie Coover describes her trip to Texas this summer. lt was around 7:00 p.m. and my dad and brother were testing out our flare gun in the parking lot. They shot into a field, by our condo, and started the biggest fire l've ever seen. So then the fire department and the police come to put out the fire. We went inside, and my dod shut all the doors and said, 'lf anyone asks, we don't know anything about it. Then he made us go to bed! ' Even though summer vacations have a lot of mishaps, and quite a few humorous moments, the times you spend with your family are some of the mast special times you'Il ever encounter. Vicki Salmen Out and about uring the summer, friends have a tendency to drift apart since they aren't together doy after day. Where do people meet their friends? A majority of the people said that they meet their friends cruising Burlington, the big B . Others went to the mall, out to the lake, and to parties. Kellie Reed, a junior, said I meet a lot of my friends on Burlington. Some of the time ljust go ond park in the parking lot at Econo Foods, Jack and JiIl's or l.G.A. When there's a dance during the summer, l will go there to see my friends. The pool or the lake ore some other places that I might go during the summer to meet my friends or to get out. Every year you can look forward to going back to school and being with your friends once again. Lisa Adcock said, Once you're a senior you con't look forward to coming bock. l think it's o good ideo to keep a hold of your friends that you have now. They will probably be the best friends that you will ever have! Some people had the some response no matter what the seoson. What do you mean? l meet my friends 'out on the town, ' said librarian Evodne Vaughan. Becky Boudreau Braves battle toward winning seoson Freshman Steve Boyd gers o lirrle dirt in his face during a home plate collision with an opposing player. The umpire favors the Braves by calling the runner our. an Beyke commented on the seoson, We should have done o lot better than we did. We had the potential to do better but we reolly didn't have thot drive to win. Our 15 18 record doesn't show the real talent we had, but we were pretty much a young team and inexperienced so I guess that had some thing to do with it. There were fifteen players on the team including: Troy Baker, Jon Beyke, Don Biggs, Steve Boyd, Eric Butler, Troy Francis, Gary Freeman, Chip Galloway, Scott Giddings, Daren Girling, Darren Karr, Troy Kulek, Corey Schlocter, Jeff Schneider, Pat Sealey. Girling stated, I thought we could've done better, when we were hitting good, we weren't pitch- ing or fielding well, we weren't consistent. One of the highlights, said Beyke, was playing North Platte and being behind 8-4 in the fifth inning when Head Coach Dove Waldron started an argument with the umpire over a questionable call. Coach was ejected which reolly fired the team up. We came back to win 13-9 which made us feel pretty good considering they were one of the better teams in our league.

A time when the brain stops working for a short but long-awaited three months. This is a break that every student looks forward to, or at least I do. During summer one has more opportuni- ties to do things like: 'ID Goof off, 25 sleep in, or SD if yau're one of the less fortunate like myself, you work. But on the bright side of things, you set school aside and forget what you learned. Kind of let it go down the tube so to speak. I set out to discover what people thought about over the summerp to see if their brains had stopped working. Jane Bourg, a senior, said, I thought about school because it's my senior year finally! I thought about band mostly. Now she only thought about school because it's her senior year. Other seniors like Randy Gildersleeve said, I thought about sun, fun and lots of babes. Now that's having fun over the summer. Finally senior Kristy Peck said, Beach parties, um loud music, and of course, . . . MEN! Nothing to do with school at all. Sophomore Jeff Halloran said that he enjoys girls and waterskiing. Freshman Jodi Crawl added, I dicln't think about school at all. Parties, guys, and having a good time filled my thoughts. Even though I regret to say it, everybody thinks of school especially when the last week of August rolls around. We wonder then, what our classes are going to be like, who we will have as teachers and who has gotten the best tan. 8 0h boy! Camps ust mentioning summer camps to most teen-agers will instill images of their past summer camp experiences. Most of them will probably be frightening images of overweight conductors who carry large bludgeons with them everywhere they go, ruthlessly attacking young, innocent camp- goers. Other people may recall the tooth- paste in the pillow cases, Vaseline in the shoes, and D-Con in the Fruit Loops. Still others may see a pleasant picture of a rolling river, beautiful nature trails and kind, Caring instructors. The most often recalled camp experi- ences are those of church camps with names such as Camp Wintokoshee or Camp Running Beaver. These were the camps that the church minister convinced your parents could further your life goals and would get rid of you for thirteen days. So, they threw you on o bus to an obscure region of Wyoming and relaxed for thirteen days. While at camp, you faced any number of poisonous plants, large biting snakes, spiders, and mosquitoes that could carry off large poodles with ease. Sleep was nearly impossible, as the kid next to you cried for home until 8:00 every morning until he or she fell asleep in a pool of tears. Wake-up call was generally around 5150 so each camper could catch pneumonia doing calisthenics in the woods each morning. After thirteen days, you were usually sending the death threats and mail bombs that you so lovingly fashioned for your parents. Upon returning home, you were happy to discover that your brother dropped a lawn dart on your waterbed and your pet hermit crabs had all drowned. While Girl!l3oy scout survival dens were rarely as bad as the church camps, many of the previously mentioned horrors also visited you here. Each night you slept in your Barbie and Ken sleeping bag in the sub-freezing temperatures, as you attempt- ed to fall asleep to the humming of the scoutmaster's power generator, which was used to power his color television and electric blanket. Sleep was usually inter- rupted when a rival troop of scouts, dressed as Mohican Indians, raided your camp and stole your entire supply of canned beans and dehydrated foods. After the sunrise wake-up call, all scouts were lead on a hike over a nearby desert. After two weeks of this torture, you returned home and quit the scouts, and cancelled your subscription to Boy's Life or Brownie Digest. Some summer camps do have some sort of constructive lesson to teach. The hundreds of sports camps held each sum- mer, for instance, attempted to teach the camp-goer a working knowledge of the sport. Most will agree that the most impor- tant skill taught at these camps is guerril- la warfare survival tactics. Most of the dormitories that house the so-called athletes ended up condemned after the camp season. The majority of the attendants of these camps were between the ages of six and ten, each of which had just discovered that they were cool and were dying to prove it. Still, summer camps will exist as long as there are parents willing to dispose of their children.

Fans, faith, hope and confidence l can 't imagine going to o game with no one there to scream and yell, it gives enthusiasm, hope and confidence is what school spirit is all Micki Mikesoll lt's like beating the team you never thought we could beat. Waiting on the sidelines to congratulate a victorious lt's the some as the feeling you get when you even lose by two points at the buzzer. lt's the auguish of losing and the desperation with the thought of winning. lt's the way of expressing your school as a whole. Spirit is throughout school all year long. Whether it is just at practice or a pep rally, spirit is the feeling of pride within your school, with teammates, and with friends. Spirit creates the events. lt allows them to be memorable creates fun and excitement. Most of all, it creates pride and friendships. Jean Boyd HT' gg Yi Watch out Grand Island surfs up.
