Hitting the beach is delinitely better than hitting the books Summer came to an end as the first bell sounded on September 8, 1987. With homework and pro- jects ahead, summer fun became a memory. But students haIf-hear- tedly entered the classroom, wish- ing for a chance to enjoy the sun once more. The hot summer months prompted many to head for the beach to enjoy vacations filled with sun, sand, and surf. The oceanfront served as a play- ground for those who participated in popular sports such as swim- ming and surfing. Junior Bobby Papp, one such student, stated that surfing is like any other sportg when you catch a wave, it's a good feeling and it makes you want to improve your perfor- mance. The beach was the ideal place to relax and enjoy ten weeks Al away from school. While many students spent long, lazy days in the sun, others could not stay still. Senior Reggie Baltimore explained, 'fDuring the summer I had to stay on the move. I spent a lot of time keeping up my running to stay in shape for track season. Dedicated athletes contributed part of their vacation to training for upcoming sports. Sophomore Kellie McMaster went to field hockey camp in August. She commented, This was my first year playing hockey, so it was worth giving up the end of my summer to go to camp at La- fayette High School. Other students participated in sports that weren't school-related. Sophomore Jeff Moore stated, I bowled on a morning league over the summer and placed first. , Lu. . .- Synchronized sailing on the Warwick Riv- er is a relaxing summer pastime. Many take advantage of living on the Peninsula by enjoying its waterways: the York, the James, the Chesapeake Bay. 8 Summer Mary Anne Corlett Summer ends early when one attends ath- letic camps such as Tidewater Hockey Day Camp. Senior Donna Jordan pauses and remembers the carefree days before re- suming a hot drill. Karate Kids! Kim Cannon and David Bel- monte goof off on lazy summer days. The Warwick River is a perfect place to find one's innner balance before the sun sets. Bowling is a sport where you can have fun and make friends at the same time. Sophomore Karen Daniels spent her vacation study- ing dance at the Institute of the Arts at Christopher Newport Col- lege. I have a dream of being a dancer, so I work hard to accom- plish that, she remarked. My summer was based around danc- ing, which was hard work but was worth my time. Every student spent his vaca- tion in a unique way. Whether the summer was spent outdoors or in- side, Monarchs took advantage of their break from the hectic school year. Though many felt that three months was too short a time to taste real freedom, each student returned in the fall with lasting memories of summertime fun. - Karen Hinson and Teri Donnelly Mary Anne Corlett
