Summer and the beginning of a new routine for 2700 students who had spent an entire nine months together. ln our own lives, the summer may have meant a group trip to Europe, joining a softball league or working at a summer job. Chances for entertainment suffered a letdown when the Village Pool was closed. Wliilci Oklahoma City seemed to have the same amuse- ments as years past, the state and nation took a different turn.
