Watersports. Students of LFO found that anything dealing with water was the only rescue from the hot sun. Many students could have been found at the lake, pool, or anywhere else there was water to take a dip in. Jonathan Clark thought it was fun swimming at the pool with his girlfriend. He felt that it was a good way to get close to someone you love and have fun at the same time.” Most summer days were filled with water ski- ing or boating at the lake. Those students that were not the adventurous type could usually be found at pool parties. Tim Vaughn remembered summer as being a great time to spend with friends.” Summers are always filled with memories. Some might not be as great as others, like when a big zit” arose right before the big pool party but, nevertheless, summer was a time for total funll As summer drew to a close, and pools began to get covered, there were some students who could carry their water activities through the entire year with a heated pool; for those who could not, there would always be the memories (like the cute guy at the lake or the beautiful blonde in the swimsuit) of the summer past to keep them warm as the seasons changed.

These words to most students sounded like something from their worst nightmare, but there were some unfortunate souls who had to live that nightmare in its utmost reality. Those stu- dents were the ones who didn't receive the credits that were required for the past year. So, instead of going shopping, swimming, and goofing off with friends, these students spent their summer vacation sitting behind desks, listening to teachers, doing homework, and studying as though it were the regu- lar school year. Summer school students had four weeks to cram a quarter’s worth of work into their brains and under- stand it. Every day they reported to school at 8 o’clock (well, most of them did) to start a four hour class. Did the longer hours help the students learn? Jonathan Clark thought it helped him. He said that there was a more relaxed atmosphere than in the regular school year.’’ He also said one of the best things about summer school was that he didn’t have to do a term paper for his class, but they had quiz- zes, lots and lots” of quizzes. But was no term paper enough reward for giving up half their summer? By Cindy Mathis Mr. Leather spends much of his summer at the computer, preparing worksheets for students coming in the fall.
