In Many Different Ways Around And About Everyone has his own way of spending his short break from the classroom routine. From June to September there were many oppor- tunities for fun, sun, recreation and relaxation. Having free time with nothing in particular to do never gave us the summertime blues. On the contrary, many of us celebrated with parties or slept the leisure hours away. Many students spent a great deal of time working in order to earn much needed pocket money to spend on their summer vacation. Oth- ers attended summer conferences and programs, some held locally, others were held in various areas throughout the nation. Some attend- ed on an individual basis while others participated with different school organizations. Although the summer break seemed short we learned lessons in re- sponsibility and discipline that will help us in our future. Whichever way we chose to spend this time aw ay from school routine we enjoyed the change of routine in many different ways. During the summer months students could be found working around the school building. Linda DeVi ia helps to staff the main office.

But as soon as the last bell of the day rings the halls arc filled with students. While some arc anxious to hurry out the doors to outside activities, away from school, which may fill their time; others arc rushing to one of the many club or organizational meetings, or out to one of the athletic practices scheduled for that particular day. Each of us finds and chooses the most fulfilling way to satisfy our own needs in many different ways. Terri Koelle hurries to get ready for Field Hockey practice Four o'clock already! Bonnie Kimmcl.
