AT HIGGINS LAKE South Shore State Park, juniors Kristin Dery and Mike Aho lazily joke around as they lie in the sun after their last day of school on June 9. Many students preferred driving longer distances and paying the $2.00 fee to use Higgins Lake rather than Houghton Lake because of the sandy beaches and cleaner facilities. Photo by Carrie Mieske. WAITING FOR THE BIG ONE to bite, sophomores Cory Czada and Larry Leszczynski cast their lines at Wackolodge, a secret fishing spot they share with a handful of students. With many nearby lakes and rivers, fishing grew in popularity among students as they sought varieties ranging from pike to trout and pan fish.

But all work and no play can make Jack a dull boy, according to the old adage. So in their extra hours students chose from a wide variety of activities ranging from horseback riding to WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU’RE DOING? HOW DO YOU SPEND YOUR SUMMER? When school ends, where can you be found? Working 69% Laying in sun 23% Sleeping 9% Do you think tanning is harmful to your skin? Yes 24% No 76% What’s your favorite tanning product? Hawaiian Tropic waterskiing. I like to ski, work on my car or just hang around with friends at Funland,” sophomore George Cook said. When the days grew shorter and businesses finally slowed down, students found more time for themselves. But this only meant one thing: the beginning of fall and. unfortunately, the beginning of yet another school year.
