Summer: sun, surf, sports, study This past summer, students represented LDHS in various capacities throughout the state. The student body was proud to send delegates to Boys' State, Girls’ State and Governor's School. The beaches provided the most popular locations during the summer heat and hundreds of young people rushed to the shores to enjoy their vacation. Many students traveled with their family and friends while others improved their financial situation by working in local industries and business establishments. Later in the summer, band members participated in band camp to develop their musical talents while football players began practice in early August for a grueling fall campaign. 12 Summer Activities

Students enjoy tours of England, Spain One of the many educational experiences offered to our student body is foreign travel. In the spring of 77 this opportunity became available to those interested in journeying to Spain or England. The Spanish students explored various cathedrals and museums throughout their trip. Madrid, Seville and Cordoba were only a few of the cities they toured. During the day, they spent some of their spare time basking in the sun at the beaches of Fuerrigola while their nights were reserved for attending flamenco shows and discotheques. London adventurers roamed Kendra Boone, Cindy Riddle and Rick Haynie look through a folder describing their activities in Madrid.

The group also viewed four plays based upon English literature which later aided them in their senior English classes. A highlight of the trip was meeting a group of students from Hershey, Pennsylvania and sharing their reactions to the ways of life in London. Although the students had many exciting experiences and thoroughly enjoyed their trips, they were more than ready to return home with the lasting memories they had gained. Trips 11
