8 summer 284 Ye Hot and dusty band members take 4 from practicing at Band Camp. Tubas, tans and trips Summer. It’s a word that conjures up visions of white beaches and lazy afternoons spent lolling by the pool. For Neeltje Henneman and Sara and Helen Peebles, it also meant traveling to new and different places. Neeltje spent the summer babysitting for a family in Fairbanks, Alaska, while Sara and Helen were traveling throughout Alaska, California, and Mexico. Sara said, “| think getting out and meeting other people and experiencing an- other culture has a lot more meaning than just a book education.” The summer of ‘80 was memorable for several students who were select- ed to represent the school in special programs. For Glenn Skutt, summer meant a continuance of his education at the Governor's School for the Gifted at Randolph-Macon Women’s Col- lege. Lisa Bane, Liza Davis, and Donnie Delaney spent a week at Girls’ State at Longwood College; Lee Glenn, Charles Lauck, and Stanley Lewis par- ticipated in Boys’ State at Lynchburg College. Charles remarked, ‘| had a lot of fun and met a lot of neat people.” Members of the band, under new director Charles Torian, marched through the hot days of August at the Kennys’ farm. Junior Ronnie Canfield said, ‘The only thing | liked about band camp was throwing Mr. Torian in the water.”’ Varsity and J.V. cheerleaders practiced their cheering skills at a four- day camp at Lynchburg College. Many students had local jobs and worked diligently throughout the sum- mer months, always succeeding in finding some hours in which to enjoy the summer fun. With mixed emotions students greeted the end of August and the beginning of a new school year. Although never eager to start schoolwork, the noisy crowd that gathered around the school on the first day of school seemed happy to seize the opportunity to renew old friend- ships and to make new ones. Drum major Steve Felts daydreams during a rest from summer practice at Kenny’s Farm.
