Blasting forth fun at different camps After nine years, it's al- most tradition. I went back because I knew it would be lots of fun, and it's a way for me to serve the Lord, said jim Anderson, senior. Anderson worked as a ju- nior counselor at Camp Soaring Hawk, july 15-Aug. 12. He taught horseback rid- ing and soccer to kids. Russell Filippello, junior, also worked as a junior counselor at Camp Lake- wood. Filippello taught archery and was responsible .for helping organize the night time activities all three terms. I'm hoping to do it again, said Filippello. In another form of service, julie Archie, sophomore, and 24 other people from the First Presbyterian Church of Kirkwood, trav- eled to North New Portland, Maine on a workcamp, july 28-Aug. 12. Archie's crew worked for a pregnant woman whose husband was in jail. I liked myself more and got close to so many won- derful people, she said. Other students went to camp just to have fun. Garret Hoffman, sophomore, went to a water ski camp in Lake- land, Fla., july 23-Aug 8. oving away New places, strange lands I result in common conflicts She felt like a stranger in a strange land as she walked down unfamiliar halls, look- ing at unfamiliar faces. Changing to a new school was not an easy task, accord- ing to Stephanie Schlitz, sophomore, who attended Ursuline Academy last year. Ursuline and Kirkwood differ in many ways, said Schlitz, but I think Kirk- wood is a much better school. Here CKirkwoodl there are boys, freedom, and more choices, particularly in class selection, said Schlitz. The one thing I miss about Ursuline, is that every- one knew each other and it was a close atmosphere. Sherri Bagby, junior, moved from University City to Kirkwood early in june. We thought Kirkwood would be a better place to live. It's closer to all of our friends and the people we care about, said,Bagby. 20 Summer Magazine For Bagby the most diffi- cult aspect of moving was meeting her new neighbors, and finding volunteers to help her family with the move. It took us two entire days to completely finish the job, but it all worked out in the end, said Bagby. Reasons for moving varied with the individual. Cindy Bartosz, junior, and her mother moved from Glendale to have more room and to be less dependent on Bartosz's grandmother, with whom they had previously lived. I miss my grandmother, and a lot of people still call my old number, but I am glad we moved, said Bar- tosz. Strong waves off PawIey's Island, South Carolina, carry Charley Cook, senior, toward the shore as he surfs, Aug. 2, during his summer vacation. n the heat of the summer America controls ups and downs It was a time of freedom and a time of nightmare. The American public waited as history occurred. 0 june 28 - The Reverend jesse jackson, Democratic presidential nominee candidate, gained the release of 22 Americans and 26 Cubans from a Cuban jail after a week of negotiations with Cuban Premier Fidel Castro. 0 july 17 - President Ronald Reagan signed a bill that will reduce federal highway aid to states that do not raise their legal drinking age to 21, by jan. 1987. I think it is wrong for the government to use federal aid to make all of the states pass laws it Ithe national governmentj wants. That is imposing on state power, said jenn Cobb, sophomore. 0 july 18 - james Huberty killed 21 people at a McDonald's Restaurant in Ysidro, Calif. McDonald's discontinued advertisements for two weeks and had the building razed two months later. Survivors and the families of the deceased divided a S1 million trust fund. 0 Aug. 31 - Charles Walker, McDonnell Douglas Corp. employee, was the first civilian in space.

A devastating end after a time of :Eun Who could have known that a day planned for fun would end up in disaster? on july 7, Stella Holkomb died as a result of a fall from the Rail Blazer, a stand up roller coaster at Six Flags amusement park. Susan Waskow, senior, worked at Six Flags and was surprised to hear the news. Everyone was surprised. All sorts of stories started go- ing around, said Waskow. We were told that if anyone asked, we were to say that an incident had occurred. As a result of the accident, the park installed more safe- ty devices and performed test runs before re-opening the ride to the public. However, even with the extra safety devices, some people were still hesitant to ride the coaster. I went out there tSix Flagsl after it tRail Blazeri re- opened, but, with every- thing that had happened, I 22 Summer Magazine was too scared to ride it, said Cindy Adcock, fresh- man. On the other hand, the ac- cident did not bother some. I rode the Rail Blazer be- fore the accident and thought it was pretty safe, said Robert Rebegia, sopho- more. After they added more safety bars I didn't think anything else could happen, so it didn't bother me at all to ride on it again. Lemonade and bananas attract Mike Webb, senior, and Kyle Haw- kins, Nipher student, to the refresh- ment table at a toga party during the Kirkwood Baptist Church youth re- treat, Iune 25. ut of the ordinary Dealing with strikes, cameras, kids, gives students unusual opportunities She might have worked hard for the money, but she was not always treated right. It would really bug me when coaches would get out and argue with me about the rules or calls I made. Some thought I would take more because I was a girl, said Lesley Faulstich, senior. Faulstich worked for her third year as a Khoury League umpire. I guess I liked working there because I enjoy soft- ball so much, said Faulstich. However, it took more than just enjoying softball to work as an umpire. For one month Faulstich attended special training classes. I was just worried about making the right calls, said Faulstich. I remember once Preparations, Aug. 23, for the ap- proaching Pom Pon season keep Beth Osborne, senior, and Laura Kramer, junior, busy on the football field. Osborne and Kramer practice clocks, a section of the routine to Varsity Valor . I was plate umpire for a little league game. One boy was up to bat for the first pitch when I called out 'st-e-e-r- ike'. It was funny because he turned around and asked me what that meant. Faulstich was not the only student who dealt with chil- dren. Lisa Winslow, senior, spent her summer as a pho- tographer for the IC Penney Portrait Studio and often found herself photograph- ing kids. It's hard to take pictures of kids because you have to go down to their level and do whatever makes them happy, said Winslow. Winslow also had to go through a special training session for her job. I started off just showing pictures to customers, and then I gradually learned how to operate the camera. The hardest part was figuring out how a customer was going to react, said Winslow. Besides taking pictures, Winslow's job consisted Ol filling orders, cleaning counters, and vacuuming These duties often mean putting in long hours. We would close at 8:30 but we didn't get to gl home until everything was i place, said Winslow. For David Howell, senior, long and odd hours were also frequent in his job fol the city of Kirkwood. . I painted all the yellow lines down the middle of the road and crosswalks, said Howell. We sometimes had to work from midnight to 6 ta.m.l to do the major streets. Unlike the average desk job, Howell's work con- tained certain hazards. It was hard sometimes because some people came close to running us over, said Howell. I guess I liked working there.
