Shark attack! Perhaps the most memorable event of the Summer of ' 75 was the onslaught of the movie Jaws, and the near ceaseless waves of publicity it spawned. Hamptonians thronged to the theater to be thrilled and chilled by the suspenseful film. The movie ' s success was due to the fact that it relieved summer boredom by providing macabre excitement. Its side effects were widespread, including everything from Jaws T-shirts to plastic shark fins. The shark talk, however, didn ' t stop people from frequenting the beaches, though some swimmers were hesitant about entering the water. Buckroe and Grandview beaches furnished sites for many impromptu night parties. Water- lovers proved their loyalty by sailing, surfing, and waterskiing, or just getting wet in between rounds of sunbathing. Water was not the only means of rec- reation. Everyone had his own favorite pastime. Tennis and biking ranked among the most popular. Tennis enthusiasts rose at the break of dawn and hurried to play before the courts became crowded. Hampton served the community by providing lessons on Warrior courts. Biking gained new impetus. Cyclists peddled to help reduce the high cost of gas, as well as for exercise and fun. Other activities included baseball leagues, playing frisbee, trips, summer school, or just being plain lazy! Two new recreational parks also be- came part of the summer scene: Kings Dominion and Busch Gardens Old Country offered exciting and diverse opportunities for job and fun seekers alike. The last week of vacation found everyone trying to squeeze in extra fun to lengthen the summer. Seniors were un- willingly reminded of school when they re- ported there for senior portraits. Some- how, summer had slipped by, leaving many projects unaccomplished; yet many good memories lingered for everyone. When the fateful day inevitably arrived, the Warriors returned to Kecoughtan. Back-to- school-blues could not last long as plans for the coming year were made. Looking forward to football games and fun with old and new friends, students began the year with the Spirit of ' 76.
