Some l ot Juiv Numerous fun activities keep teenagers busy in summer; mild temperatures proves to bts blessing for Arkansas “It was a great summer.” That was the way senior Kevin Morehead described the summer of 1986. It was also the same way that practically every other Central High student would have described it. There were many things to do that kept teenagers occupied and having fun. These “things” ranged from outdoor concerts to visiting one of the numerous nearby lakes and from swimming at one of the local pools to taking in a movie. For those who enjoyed outdoor ac- tivities, the summer of 1986 couldn’t have been better. Temperatures were mild during most of the summer months. Only twice did the temperature reach the 100 degree mark. It wasn’t total relaxation for most students, though. About one- third of the students had jobs in local businesses that restricted summer activities. Practically all students also had those “home chores” associated with summer, such as mowing and watering the lawn, weeding the flower beds, painting the house, etc. Jumping his motorcycle over a small hill Is Brad Clark, a junior.

Our World Fun!” If a person had to use just one word to describe student life at Central High during the 1986 87 school year, it would probably be the word fun” that would be used. The year was packed with lots of fun events, both at school and away from school. There were Tiger athletic events practically every Fri- day, weekend parties, con- certs at Barton Coliseum, club conventions, movies, the State Fair, etc. It was fun for most students just to come to school and have the chance to visit with their friends. Being with people you care about is enjoyment,” one junior said. The 1986-87 school year was a great one and a fun one for those who attended the state’s liveliest high school, Central High!
