Summer, summer, summer. It’s like a merry-go-round.” Summer was in full swing. Wearing string bikinis and loud Bermuda swim trunks, we flocked to Grandview, Buckroe, and Virginia Beach. The beaches provided entertainment for those of us who were “water babies.” For adventure, we found swimming, surfing and sailing on the agenda. On a quiet day, sun bathing and people watching were the favorite activities for those not working or in summer school. “Surfing is the most exhilarating human experience. It’s not just a sport; it’s a religion,” declared senior Danny Bickett. Vacations were the highlights of the summer. Whether we went to exotic paradises, or the same old summer spot, we found vacations relaxing and fun. “The turquoise water and pink sands of Bermuda captured my attention this summer. I can’t wait for my next trip,” said senior Tracey Neale. After we had satisfied our hunger for sun, water and sand, Busch Gardens, King’s Dominion, and Waterside were a source of excitement. continued on page 8 Surf rat Darryl Brooks calls it a day after spending a summer afternoon surfing at Virginia Beach.

That was my summer,” said junior Theresa Owens. For others, furthering their education was the top priority. By attending Girls’ and Boys’ State, Governor’s School, and publication workshops, we gained new experiences and broadened our knowledge. “Girls’ State was one of the best weeks of my life. The beanies were great!” exclaimed Denise Yuengert. However, as August’s “dog days” dwindled, our delights in summer were soon replaced with the excitement and anticipation of a new school year.
