LOST IN DREAMS of the '65 Copper Cal, S. Landrum listens to a layout lecture at Publications Workshop. Willi ihe raucous ringing of alarm clocks, we awoke to another school year, and found fleetini; memories to be all that remained of summer fun. We fondly recall sw imming, dates, and the long lazy days. Prominent among these are recollec- tions of summer camps and workshop sessions we attended on college and university campuses. for many of us, the fun had to be sandwiched between part-time jobs that were helping to build college funds. Weekly Teen-Nights were held at the sw imming pool where local bands played vi- brant music. Wild gyrations and loud laughter also contributed to the atmosphere of fun. The dizzy whirl of parties and picnics ended all loo soon, as we were summoned to collect pencils, pens and books, and sharpen our minds for an- other school year. Reunions w ith friends, reg- istration, and locating our classrooms filled out time, but soon the first day thrill'’ wore off and we settled down, first to homework, then tests. September brings Memories of vacation, resolve to study

AMONG WEEKEND trips, annual staff members at- tended the AIPA meet at Arizona State University. We encountered minor adventures in our every- day routines .... jammed lockers .... explosions in the chemistry lab. For eighth graders, autumn was full of surprises; for seniors it was a bitter- sweet fall, full of the nostalgia of last times”. Then came the advent of football season, and its adjoining scenes: of cars hidden beneath the waterfalls of red and black streamers; of stu- dents splattered with paint, viewing their artis- tic handiwork on painted store windows; and fin- ally, the vivacious cheerleaders yelling encour- agement, whether we won or lost. Our class- work was supplemented by organizational meet- ings held during lunch, before, and after school. While days were still warm, energetic fresh- men undertook the facelifting of the M”. Laugh- ter and elbow-grease combined to quickly accom- plish the task of initiation day” , and soon, the school letter gleamed brightly in the sunshine.
