Summer Live for today, live for the moment that is now. Give of yourself to something that is precious to you. Summer is that time; the time to fly free, free like two seagulls in the open sky. There is nothing in the life of a gull to tie him to the earth; just as there is nothing in summer to tie us to anything that doesn’t just come naturally. We work, we strive, we push harder each day of the school year. Summer is the time that we have earned; the time for nothing but a lot of well deserved fun. Look at us! Look at how much fun we can be when we let go and show people who we really are. If we don ' t let phony things fill our lives we can show everyone that we re a different type of people. We re not afraid to let the world know where we stand. Ah! The memories of summer: Walking hand in hand down the beach with someone you care about, or just crashin out’’ on a blanket hoping to get a great tan. They too are a part of the freedom you feel in the summer. All that easy living has to fit into a few short summer months, just don ' t forget to fly free! Make it the best summer yet! I wish that I could fly away to a place of peaceful silence. To rid my mind of school and books and to forget my mind ' s appliance. To know that wish will soon be true as another school year ends, is to know that faster than time itself another school year will begin. Yet to save that freedom for just a while which is almost an impossible task. Just to keep summer in my mind is all that I do ask ask. For flying free and flying high is what it ' s all about, so use this time to just let go cuz summer is when school is out!!!!!

Student Life Looking At Ourselves Living! Taking life for what it ' s worth! That ' s what the life of a student is all about. Letting go when the time is right and cracking down when it ' s time for books, that’s all a part of living too. It ' s the way a student handles his free time and proves to be the most exciting. Activities are a time when the students are allowed to put aside the books and studying for just a while to enjoy life ' s many special adven tures. Clubs, sports, and summer are just a few of the opportunities giving students a chance to express themselves Summer is a very big part in the life of a student. These few but precious months open the doors for creativity and individuality. Trips to Marriott and the beaches, softball leagues, and jobs are very popular. Free time always offers the chance for self-expression; various clubs, sports, and societies during the year help students develop this concept. Many dances throughout the year provide the excitement of dating. Dances such as Prom and Turn-About provide an atmosphere of relaxation and a pressure-free evening. A student ' s life should never be dull! With all of the activities offered, there is barely enough time to fit everything into an already hectic schedule. But isn’t that how it should be? Using all of your time for the things you need to do, yet making time for the things you want to do is all a very special part of life.
