Ittltmi mas Ulak the ifference Have you ever talked to your parents about what they used to do when they were your age? Yes, they used to be teenagers! When they tell you their stories of sock hops, going out to eat pizza, their steadies and parking, you just laugh and think how weird it sounds. But, think about it. What do we do when we go out? We go to dances, binge on Ben and Jerry ' s, we commit ourselves to steady boyfriends and girlfriends, and, yes, admit it, we park. But what makes us different, or what makes us think we are unique, are the little things. At dances, we slow dance to groups like Led Zeppelin or Journey, instead of Pat Boone. We eat the same foods, just at more contemporary hangouts. We date the same guy or girl, but we call it going out instead of going steady. Face it, though, parking is parking. It ' s kind of like geome- try. The concepts just don ' t change from year to year. no matter how we dress, what we eat, or what music we listen to, SOME THINGS NEVER CHANGE.

' ' — Doug Rose d Those Lazy, Hazy, Crazy Days of Summer As soon as the 1:51 bell rings on the last day of school, there is a mad rush to the doors. Summer has begun! Summer holds many differ- ent expectations for our peers. For some it means work seven days a week. I worked six days a week over the summer ' remarks Peter Spellios. But, it was worth it because 1 made lots of money. For some, summertime means head- ing to the Cape or to Maine. Bill Scarlett spent his entire summer in Maine, It was great, he says. I got to meet a lot of new people and I had a lot of fun. Alli- son Mullett mixed business with pleasure as she spent the summer at Cape Cod working. Amy Fitzgerald did the same at her summer home in Connecticut. Many of us stayed home working, but managed to find time to go to Block Is- land, the Cape, or Maine and attend summer con- certs. Kerry Cesan worked at Sullivan ' s Mountainview Drive-ln and she was also able to escape the severe heat of this past summer by driving with friends Kateri Collins and Sue Kibbe to Misquamicut. She was also able to attend the Squeeze Concert at Great Woods. Jason Bergeron and John Qalarneau went to see Def Leppard in Hartford. Becky Emerle, Julie Mo- tyl, and Karianne Kraus worked part time at Papa Gino ' s. In their free time they traveled to Misquami- cut for the beach or to Showcase to see movies. Penny Qriswold comment- ed that ' Showcase was a real escape this past sum- mer because it provided some interesting entertain- ment while at the same time providing air condi- tioned relief from the heat. Chrissy Froehlich spent her summer working as a camp counselor, but also took time out to go to the beach. I had fun at camp, she says, ' but 1 looked for- ward to getting away with my friends too. Molly Rihm, Greg Le- febvre, Jeff O ' Shaughnessy, and Shaun Cole were among the many who could be found at Lake Mark cool- ing off from the heat. Oth- ers smartly took advantage of their membership in the Hampden Country Club or visited friends who have pools. Those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer. As Brigette Pelouze bemuses, If it were only longer ... What happened to the oars? Penny Griswold is left stranded in the middle of Chrissy Froeh- lich ' s grandmother ' s pool in Springfield. For- tunately she got out to enjoy the rest of the back-to-school party held in August. Sue Messier and Kathy Hoffman enjoy a quiet picnic alone on the beach on one of the cooler days in August. After cleaning up the courtyard the day before school start- ed, a few students took off for a picnic in Ludlow. Jen Doyle and Sue Hanrahan finish their lunch while the others go wading in the rapids. SUMMERTIME
