Shades of Summer Some like it Vacatign? HOT Vacation! Summer. What does one invision when they think of summer? Tans, sun- glasses, radios blasting, guys with no shirts, Cohh la lah, string bikinis, endless days at the pool, the list could go on forever. When asked what one thinks of when one thinks of summer, senior Randy Moore said, Sleeping in, no homework, hot babes and catching some intense rays! Junior Liz Kooy had a little more conservative ap- proach, she stated, Summer is a time to relax, and make some money. Sophomore Brad McAuIiff said, l'm active in baseball all summer, so the only vacation I get is from home- work. Freshman Kathy Fairbanks stat- ed, l wish that someone my age could get a job, but I didn't mind hanging out at the pool everyday. I got a great tan! Whatever you do, wherever you go, summer is summer. Melissa Plam- beck Mom, we wanna come home Contrary to popular belief, this was not the attitude about summer camps. Many students attended some kind of camp, whether it was baseball, basketball, or drill team. The Lady Tigers volleyball team journeyed to Sioux City, Iowa for a four day camp. They conditioned, scrimaged, and improved their skills. Senior Janelle Schmidt said, There were coaches there from China, Japan, and all over the U.S. It was a unique experience to get tips from so many different coaches. Junior Tracy Stickles added, I met great people, learned a lot and had a fun time. Another group in action was the Tigerettes. They traveled to Lincoln for four fun filled days of routines, rou- tines, and more routines. Senior Peg Johnson commented, We learned somejammin' routines that we can use all year, each in less than an hour. Junior John Pebeck ventured to Stillwater, Oklahoma, for baseball camp. Oklahoma State's head coach Gary Ward and members of his team Summer Mag showed the campers many new tech- niques and hints to help improve their skills. l learned many new things and I improved my pitching and hitting. It was great! The Lady Tiger Basketball team was on the rise as they were busy all summer with camps, Q YMCA leagues and coach Congrove's two week sum- mer clinic. The team went to Doane College in Crete and Hastings College team camp. There were many coaches to help broaden perspectives on the sport. Senior Libby Szlanda said, lt's really neat being able to have the ex- perience of being coached by coaches other than your own. As you can see, just because it's summer doesn't mean that HHS quiets down. Also active, in Maryville, Missouri, was the Flag Squad and Majorettes. During the day both groups learned routines and in the evening they were awarded ribbons for their performances. Fresh- man Bridget Warburton said, Camp was a lot of hard work, but it gave me a chance to get to know everyone on Vacation: a period of rest or freedom from regular work, study, etc. Whether it be to the Bahamas or Grandma's, a vacation is a vacation. According to senior Kevin Lynn Reiman a va- cation is simply time without school and an action packed week- end. Reasons for vaca- tions are far from few and easy to come by. Freshman Bret Richard- son went to Worlds of Fun to get wild on some rides and catch some rays. Sopho- more Joel Wilks's vaca- tion was family related, We visited my Grand- parents in Michigan where I spent my days at a clear blue Iake. Ju- nior Liz Kooy went on a working vacation with a church workcamp. We went to New York to help paint a church, but we spent a lot of our time just having fun, Next time you find yourself bored with the everyday routine re- member your next vaca- tion can't be more that five days away, and there's 52 a year. There's nothing like a weekend! Peg Johnson the squad. This year's members were given a chance to try out for the World's Fair in Australia. Nine members of the squad succeeded. One of them. Ju- nior Denise DeRiese stated, It's a great feeling to have been chosen to perform at the World's Fair. But despite all of their hard work, the girls believe that camp is a worth- while experience. As senior Heidi Kooy puts it, Camp helps us to learn to work together as a team. Sorry Mom, we won't be home next summer either! Cathy Storer, Cheryl Halloran

The Boys Of Summer Take me out to the ball game . . . sunshine and excitement, what more could one ask for? That'sjust what this summer's Johnson Cashway Chief's games were filled with. The Chiefs began their season by playing well and scoring high in the win column. The Chiefs head- ed west on a week long road trip, with their first stop in North Platte for a tournament. Then it was on to Ogallala and then to Scottsbluff. Last, they stopped in Cheyenne, Wyoming where they split a double- header. Senior Rick Talich said, The road trip was fun. lt was neat to see how the competition was in other parts of the state and in Wyoming. The Chiefs were 5-4 on the road trip. Returning from the trip, the Chiefs continued to do well as a team. Then it was on to districts. The Chiefs played Twin Cities first, and won. Then they played Kearney and lost. Then they played North Platte and beat them. The Chiefs then had to play Kearney again, and they lost. The Chiefs ended their season with a 31-18 record. Junior Gary Freeman said, l thought we had a great season and with a couple of breaks, we could have made it to the state tournament. The chiefs were coached by Mike Ni- cholarson. Overall, the Johnson Imperial Braves had a good Puttin' Through The Summer Out of obscurity and onto the green, miniature golf has become one of the favorite forms of enter- tainment during the summer of '87. Everyone who plays has his or her own reasons. lt's a great way to spend some time with their friends and have fun, stated senior Tammie Bon- ham. Senior Julie Berg also agreed it was a great place to take friends. She said, lt gave me some- thing to do when friends from someplace else visit- ed. lt's a place to take them and have a lot of fun. A great number of students helped to welcome the new miniature golf course, Pastime Miniature Golf, asjunior Erin Martin stated, lt's neatand it isn't as boring as the other one. Junior Michele Warner found the new one to be season. The Braves were coached by Jack Giddings and Tom Cafferty. Junior Mark England said, We had a good year, although I thought we had the talent to win more games than we did. The Braves traveled to North Platte for a July 4th holiday tournament. The Braves won two games and lost three during this time. The tournament broke up the two months of June and July, which were full of many long and hard games of baseball. During the first round of districts, the Braves played Kearney in a good game, but they couldn't pull it off. Junior Mike Pospisil said, lt was kind of disappointing, losing the first round of districts, because we felt we had the potential to make it to state competition. The Centra Chemical Warriors led a very successful season with the coaching help of Randy Nab. The 16 boys that made up the warriors were drilled on the ba- sic fundamentals of baseball. Their skills were greatly improved by the end of the season. Sophomore Brad McAuliff said, Playing with the Warriors this year gave me lots of experience that l needed to continue playing in the future. The Warrior's record over the whole season was 31 -7. Freshman Mike Laun stated, We had a successful season this year. One of the highlights of our season was winning the Hogan's Sport's invitational Baseball Tournament. The tournament, sponsored by Hogan's, involved eight different teams. The Warriors played the Kearney Bluejays in the championship game. They pulled out a 9-1 victory. With this win, the Warriors ended their victorious season. Jill Laun more challenging. As she said, lt has a lot more ob- stacles and is a lot more exciting. Other people found they had a few problems with the game. Sophomore Bobby Hill said, lt was a blast seeing the ball richochet from side to side, then over the walk, through the grass, and into the pond! No matter what your reason is for going, you're sure to find it to be top entertainment! Carrie Dutton Summer means fun, and when having fun, one is usually with friends. Above, senior Rick Tal- ich and Becky Whitcomb enjoy the lazy, crazy days of summer with junior Kirsten Lysthauge. Summer is a time for having fun, and who better to have fun with than my friends? said Whitcomb. I-.1-in-lun-T Summer Mag -1-qi:-nl-1
