Students spell ummerzp-a r t After a bustling schoolyear filled with football games and pep rallies, homework projects and tests, the long-anticipated three-month break finally arrived. Once again, students had plenty of time to do the things they liked best. 'Hanging out at the drive-in was fun and gave us something to do on Monday nights, said Leslee Tiller, junior. Cruising Cooper and picking up guys were among Laura Clevenger's and Kim Speaker's summer pastimes.

Ms. Wilma Smithson accompanied several students to Spain, Africa, England and France. The All-American Publications Workshop was attended by the editors of The Scroll and the Valhalla, while speech students led Lackman and Brian Hail went to Maine for a debate workshop.
