Sun Creates Non-Stop Fun Sun filled the sky for 62 consecutive days this summer. Many Laker students took advantage of the warm weather to shed their pale winter skin. With the lake providing a place to spend hot summer afternoons swimming, sunbathing and waterskiing, members of the class of '86 found a creative approach to water fun. Using Hawaiian printed plastic floats and flippers, they swam around Halverson’s island, without stopping,” junior Melinda Bernard claimed. Other students headed south to the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, California. It isn't very often that the Olympics are so close to home, commented Carol Cottingham, who attended the event. The fact that the U.S. won 83 golds, 61 silver and 30 bronze made the experience a memorable affair. Not all students spent their summer entertaining themselves. Many found part-time employment or hit the books. Jobs ranged from working the grill in the Lake Grove McDonalds to guarding little tots at the swim parks on the lake. History, math and Income and Money Management were a few of the courses offered in summer school at Lakeridge. The dreaded Behind the Wheel class requires students to drive in big cars with even bigger signs reading Student Driver, to warn motorists they better watch out. Perhaps the students who went abroad had the most glamorous vacation. Sponsored by American Heritage, supervisor Kathy Comer and eight students toured France, visiting the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre Museum and the Notre Dame Cathedral and sunbathing on the beaches of Monte Carlo. Meanwhile, John Turchi, Mike Goodrich, and Milli Koelscher along with 33 L.O. and Lakeridge students traveled to Eng-land as a part of the Wolverhampton exchange program. Started by former LOHS Principal Tom Lindersmith, the program offers students a chance to broaden their education by experiencing the English culture. However Lakers spent their summertime, at home or far away, this summer of 84 proved to be a unique and memorable one.

No Pain No pain! No gain!” Hollered Coach Boyd Crawford as his players did ten more pushups. Competition has become stiffer in high school athletics; consequently, so has the.training, driving athletes through endless hours of practice. Many L.O. athletes spend their off-season time and summers pumping iron, running, and honing their skills. Often, the weight room is filled with aspiring athletes straining and sweating to build muscle. 'Hell week” for the football team is exactly that. Players practice all day, every day for one agonizing week. Endurance is the goal; aching muscles and sheer exhaustion often accompany the gain. The volleyball team bumps, sets, and spikes to get prepared for the season. The squad endures bruised knees, floor burns, and sore wrists. The soccer teams tackle daily doubles , four hours of practice in the morning and two hours in the evening. The fast-moving game requires endurance, strength, speed, and mental alertness. Soccer players run Approaching the top of a grueling hill, Lori Warr-King fights for first position in a cross country competition. Pushing himself to the limit, John Staudt works to develop muscle. (In hopes of becoming the next Soloflex man?l) 6 No Pain No Gain No Gain laps, sprints, and suicides , do push-ups and sit-ups. and practice field skills. During the summer, many members of the boys’ soccer team pushed themselves through 350 miles of strenuous bike riding over Mt. Hood and down into Eastern Oregon to help get them into shape. It was physically the hardest thing I have ever done,” summarized defender Ralph Cole. While all this preseason football and soccer training was going on, cross country runners were working equally hard. Climbing hills, fartleking (a combination of sprinting and jogging), and interval running were a big part of their preseason preparation. Doug Henderson and Joe Gross even attend -ed Stevens Mountain Running Camp to increase their ability. Gymnasts suffer calloused hands, shin splints, and many other excruciating pains. But when championships are captured, games are won, or even goals are scored, all that hard work seems more than worth it.
