Only imagination limits Where Patriots vacation Enjoying his California vacation. Senior Mike Crouch had to visit the Hollywood Bovkl. Enjoying track camp. Duane Childs and Mark McCoy spent time keeping track skills at a peak. X ou slam your locker for the last time, and walk down the nearly deserted hall. It ' s the last day of school. Another year has ended. Behind you lies the months of a year of hard work, homework and studying, ahead of you lies three empty months, just waiting for you to spend them. But the question is how? Where should you spend your luxurious summer hiatis? Patri- ots had several choices. Some found exciting trips to exotic places where they could spend their time. Five members of the JMHS German Club jet- ted to Oldenburg, Germany, where they toured castles, vis- ited German villages and ab- sorbed aspects of German cul- ture. Participant Mindi Leps- cum stated, Those few weeks we spent overseas were some- thing I ' ll never forget. Other Patriots spent vacation time closer to home in the U.S. Yearbook Photo Editor Scott Cox and Senior Mike Crouch spent a glorious sun-filled time in California. We saw all the Hollywood sights, Universal Studios, the Chinese Theatre, the walk of stars, said Cox, All the things we ' ve seen on T.V.! It was so great to actually be there. It was so unreal! Other Patriots chose to spend the summer pursuing their aca- demic interest by attending workshops at nearby colleges. Seniors Tracy Tarter and John Lacy attended Theatre Semin- als, John at Ball State, Tracy at Indiana State. We worked on the fundamental aspects of the theatre as well as character de- velopment and voice projec- tion, said Tarter. It was a great chance to meet a lot of peo- ple who shared my interest in the theatre, related Lacy. Sev- eral yearbook staff members attended the High School Jour- nalism Institute at Indiana University where they caught up on new techniques of jour- nalism, and learned new ideas to apply to their own book. Copy Editor Cindy Waller said, Not only did we learn useful infor- mation, but there were a lot of fun activities to participate in. Choosing to serve their com- munity or other organizations such as the Boys Club, Patriot Jerry Jones worked as counsel- or at a Boys Club summer camp. Not only did i t give me a taste of leadership, said Jones, Working with the kids was really interesting. Whether getting to Europe or the west coast or pursuring academic endeavors, Patriots spent their vacations doing just what came natural, even if it meant just staying home and watching General Hospital and what ' s wrong with that! by Mark J.

Cars? Money, money! JSfX. an ' s best friend may be his dog, but a teen ' s best friend is his car. Even in today ' s world of high prices, inflation, and a shortage of funds for many teenagers, some still find a way to invest a great fortune, some up to half of their income, in their automobile. Most of the money is spent on repair, and just maintaining the car, ' said Richard Dye, a senior. Dye recently financed a new engine for his ' 70 Nova, to make it run better. Dye pur- chased the car over one year ago and has been working in his auto body class to repair the body, which included applying fiberglass putty, sanding and painting. It will be a pretty nice car when I ' m finished, Dye predicted. Other Patriots spent money to purchase luxuries and acces- sories for their vehicles, such as chrome wheels, tinted glass, carpeting, and, of course, the stereo. This involved ajiything from a small FM radio (if you don ' t have FM what have you got?) to a deluxe system with cassette and fancy speakers. Whatever the amount of money spent, be it on repairs or maintenance, all car enthusi- asts were agreed that the money they spent was a wise move. It ' s an investment, in a way if you look at it, said Dye, cars are too expensive to buy new these days.
