Water in the form of a pond, creek, or a pool was a welcome sight to LHS students as the thermometer broke the 100 degree mark for days on end. But students dared the sweltering heat by participating in local tennis tournaments, golfing at the Country Club and mowing lawns, or at least what the blistering sun had left of them. Education didn’t end in June, but continued in the forms of Governor's School, Boys’ and Girls’ State, and summer school. Several students attended the Youth Conser- vation Corps in Buena Vista, West Virginia, and in Douthat State .Park, while others busied themselves with local jobs. Students and teachers travelled across the Atlantic Ocean to visit foreign lands and journeyed throughout the United States, also. Cheerleaders, band members, year- book editors and football players at- tended camps and summer practices in order to prepare for the upcoming fall events. Suffering through the late August heat, foot- ball players and coaches discuss plays and game strategy. Summer Events 11
