Three Months O . . . et out of bed you sleepy heads. lt's 11:15 am. and you're missing the prime time tanning hours. It's a sun- ny 93'F here in Virginia Beach, with the sun- tanning index holding at a steady nine. The surf report calls for waist-to-chest high waves due to the northeasterly winds. They're slightly mushy, but beginning to glass off - and yes, they are rideable. Now let's jam with one of the summer's hottest tunes, the new release from 'Tears for Fearsl' Ahhh - the beginning of a typical sum- mer day for some Kempsville High School students. Their summer days consisted of sleeping in, being awakened by a warm ray of summer sun, grabbing an apple on the way out of the house, and heading for an- other day of soaking up sun at their favorite beach spot. Many surfers spent hours at Croatan, First Street, Camp Pendleton, or Little lsland lSandbridgel perfecting surfing techniques on the usually small east coast waves. More adventurous surfers loaded up their cars for a surf safari and often found themselves going south to the more popular spots of North Carolina - Hatteras, Buxton, Frisco, and Rodanthe. Some students took advantage of their vacation in a different way. Andrea Watson travelled to the heart of New England for a vacation with her family and best friend. I really enjoyed my week in Nantucket. It was nice to escape the responsibilities of home and completely relax. It was fun to explore an area other than Virginia Beach, too! Other students took on responsibility by entering the work force. Nicole Livas was one of those students. Working gave me the opportunity to earn money for a car and clothes. l also gained the experience of hold- ing a full time job. Many Kempsville High School students sought summer employ- ment. It provided the chance to earn money and meet new people. ln addition, it gave a feeling of accomplishment. Students with strong athletic or intellectu- al abilities attended summer camps held at colleges and universities across the nation. Jay Boyd spent a week at Georgetown Uni- versity's John Thompson's Basketball School. He gave up a week of his summer to get a chance to compare and improve my basketball playing skills .with other players from various parts of the nation, he said. The summer of 1985 was unique because Kempsville High School students witnessed an innovation in fund-raising tactics. Live Aid was the first benefit concert of its kind in the world. Ninety thousand people attended the concert at John F. Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia and seventy-two thousand crowded into Wembly Stadium in London. The benefit concert raised forty million dol- lars to help relieve famine. USA for Africa attracted over sixty of the world's most re- nowned musicians including Bob Dylan, Mi- chael Jackson, U2, Phil Collins and Sting. The concert was broadcast live on satellite so people as far away as the Soviet Union could tune in. Finally, the news of USA for Africa grew old and the summer days of 1985 slowly melted away into the cooler days of autumn, leaving behind memories of carefree days, the smell of suntan lotion, and the feel of burnt skin. The rigorous days of school were upon students once again. -'A 9 your - ' 'F- ..n' ,. Lplllv -A '-gui Q. Y psf '- -ni-f ,,... . finq .il Crorzlnri, Mark Haynes pulls off a backside Cut back.
