CGGVD Heat, jobs, practices, fun mark vacation For most, occupying oneself during the summer months was not a difficult task. The days were filled with fun, work and preparing for the upcoming school year. June and July were the months that most students took advantage of. The first few days of summer vacation were usually spent recuperating from the sleep lost during the school year fespecially during final exam timel and loafing around the house, But by the time boredom struck, many were out looking for jobs at such popular places as Six Flags. Arlington Stadium and the newly opened ice cream factory, Swenson's. For those who didn't work during the summer, it was a time of fun, partying and leisure. Day after day was devoted to meeting with friends at Randol Mill Builders work through summer heat to finish the west wing by September.

Those with money to spare, visited vacation spots, such as Padre Island and for many girls it also meant the start of their daily laying out routine in hopes of achieving a golden tan. Others acquired tans and kept cool by taking the i'Nestea Plunge in the nearest pool. As the month of August neared so did the school year. Those involved in the drill team, football team, band or cheerleaders sacrificed the last weeks of summer to practice under the fiery sun. Even though for 18 days straight the temperature was above 100 degrees, fthey continued preparing for their performance at the football game against O.D. Wyatt during the first week of school. Other organizations such as the Student Council and Journalism Depart- ment prepared for the upcoming school year, by taking part in conventions. Meanwhile, seniors took the opportunity to raise money for their class by working at Six Flags and Arlington Stadium, as well as going to the journalism room to have their senior portraits taken by School Pictures, Incorporated. Nevertheless, the weather remained hot and sunny, and it felt like summer vacation wasn't quite over. Yet, all too soon it was time to get back into the routine of school, homework, late hours and no sleep. Fixing hot dogs and nachos, senior Robin Blair works at the Ranger Stadium during her summer vacation in an effort to help the Senior Class raise money for the prom.
