Students of-'all ages rose and imme- diately headed for their closets where they donned swimwear and made their way to the nearest waterhole. I Girls no longer spent summer mornings in front of the mirror ap- plying make-up or curling their hair. The sun had tanned their faces already and a ponytail was best suit- ed for water activities. Multitudes ofstudents and adults flocked to various water locations in and around Lee's Summit. Jacomo waterslide was a favorite for .many daring soles who didn't mind a few bumps and bruises. Others preferred lounging by the local pool with a cool drink and good friends. All the tensions of a complicated school year could be eased away on that raft as. one floated endlessly throughout the scorching afternoon. The local lakes offered a variety of activities. Many perfected their water skiing talent while others cut through the waters by tubing, a rougher sport where much harder knocks are received. Jet skiing and wet bike riding offered two differ- ent amusements. ' l Whether one engaged in sailing or rode along on atpontoon boat, both experienced long lazy days with plenty of rays. The carefree summertime was greatly appreciated and used to its full advantage. 1 Amy Henion is Feeling Neslea! XX ff is . .,.: . w ' mf . i 1 al ' lf 18 l 5 ,r . v , l ff., l ir Q L Q M au , 4 fZ .

The l983-84 school year cer- tainly began originally for stu- dents and staff last year. The half two weeks was a new and welcome experience. Each day the tem- perature soared to new heights and some classrooms reached exorbitant degrees in the upper nineties. Students and faculty alike lit- erally sweated out the endless four-hour school days together. One could walk through the hallS and see the effect of the weather in all the studel1IS' Once styled hair hung limply and clothes clung to sopping Wfft bodies. Now a girI's main concern did not involve how pleasure of attending classes days for the better part of curly her hair stayed, but how dry. Make-up ran and dreaded perspiration stained even the most dainty girls. Athletics suffered since prac- tices were postponed to the less scorching part of the day which constituted only a .small change in temperature. The dedicated players plugged on through the indescribable rays and formed superior teams despite the inconvenience of nature. Luckily the temperature dropped but the heat-wave con- tinued throughout the l983-84 school year and rose to a fervid climax. Students and staff alike were proud to be a part of the superior atmosphere created by teamwork and an all out effort.
