 tff Students beat the heat and pass the time. HYDRO SLIDE. Senior Colin Hames shows off for friends. Unlike senior Virginia Solstad who swallowed half of the lake earlier, Colin skims across the water. Other water sports epjoyed on Lake Minnetonka include sail-boarding, water skiing and jet skiing. As the doors of Mound Westonka closed on June 9, 1987, the students knew exactly what to do. Some grabbed suntan oil and headed for the beach. Others set out determined to make a fortune at a part-time job while carefree students hung out with friends, stayed out late, and slept till noon. As the temperature soared to degrees well into the hundreds, where else to go but the beach? This past summer, the local beaches were swamped with bronze gods and goddesses. Of course, people swam, but some found it betterjust to lie on the sand and soak up the rays. Others just went to show off their new bikini or rippling biceps. If students were not at the beach, they were seduced by the lure of money and jobs. It's amazing what kinds of work people do to make money. Among the $3.35 per hour jobs are busing at Lord flecther's, waitressing at Country Kitchen, and car hopping at the Minnetonka Drive-In. At the beginning of the summer these eager workers say, This summer I'm going to save my money. However, it's hard to resist spending money on movies, music, concerts, and junk food. The people who didn't have a job didn't worry about saving at all. They just led the summer life to it's fullest. A typical summer night for these kids is hanging out with their friends. They'll cruise The Strip in Hopkins, flock Hardee's and see who's at SA (Super America). If it's a weeknight, they'll crash at someone's house and catch David Letterman. ROUGHING IT. Seniors Breck Jenson, Sherryl Starkman, Bridget Larson and Linda Carlson, otherwise known as The Birds are camping during the summer.

R.ancJ R. Making the most of free time. After putting up with six classes a day and homework every night for five days, the most looked forward to sound in the world is the tone at 2:00pm on a Friday. It is the tone that ends our suffering for forty-eight hours. The long anticipated weekend has arrived! What does one do? Some enjoy renting a couple videos and inviting friends over. Some of the most popular rentals this year were The Untouchables, Platoon and. Crocodile Dundee. Every now and then one might go out to see a film like Dirty Dancing, Full Metal Jacket or The Lost Boys. A majority of spirited students party hearty Friday night. Some go to the football games, while others just go to the football party. If the Mohawks win, then the party is a re ji uiasi, run of happy jocks and cheerleaders. If one doesn't sleep through Saturday beacause of Friday night's party, one might go out on a date if he has a sweetheart. A popular spot to take a date and still have enough money is The Dock at Excelsior. It only costs a buck fifty to get in. Then comes Sunday, the day intended for rest. Rest! Rest is sitting in front of the T.V. and consuming Cool Ranch Doritos and Coca-Cola while absorbing football stats and plays. Those who don't like football, sleep in and do their homework to prepare for another week of the torture in grueling classes with loads of homework. But Friday is only five days away. If one can hold out till then, he'll have another forty-eight hours. I like going Uptown and watching all the different types of people. -Sophomore, Lisa Bjomstad.
