IVE IT UP Lakes and beaches make up a large portion of students ' summer vacations as the days were long and hot. However, as summer drew to a close a number of cottages were locked up as many students were kept busy with their fall sport practices. Two to three hours of practice in the morning and evening usually left only enough time for sleeping and eating. Those students who were not in a fall sport found them- selves busy with other activities like the fall play You Can ' t Take it With You. Homecoming week brought even more work with powder puff, the banners, floats, and parade. Homecoming brought on a lot of additional work because, besides my usual after school activities, I worked on the banner every day until late in the afternoon, stated Debbie Manns. Highlighting the month of April was the Junior Prom which brought the colors of spring and the magic of love. Over the sum- mer there really wasn ' t a whole lot of work to be done, but once school started the work became time consuming, but it was worth it!, exclaimed David Foellinger. Another memory builder was the Senior Dinner Dance. This was a chance for all the seniors to get together for the last time, and share the memories from the past years.

Lasting Summer Memories You end up wishing it never would have ended On June 4th, the 1985-86 school year finally came to an end. Three months of summer freedom had just begun. Summer seemed to bring out a dif- ferent side of people. Without the pressures of homework, tests, teachers, deadlines, and the boring everyday routine, students came alive during the summer. Summer is a great time to relieve brain damage caused by school stress, explained sophomore Mike McNeal. Memories were what summer was all about. Going to the lake, going on va- cation, or just bumming around were remembered for a long time by stu- dents. Many people went to the lake during their summer vacation. Going skiing, swimming, tubing, or boating never left them bored. Those who went to the lake also had the advantage of renew- ing those summer friendships, or even those romantic flings. It was great to get together with friends you haven ' t seen all winter. Having friends at the lake is kind of a nice switch, commented senior Den- ise Gratz. Although school had ended, some students ' minds never strayed far from school, as they prepared for the up- coming school year. Some attended camps for band, pom-pons, cheerlead- ing, academics, and athletics. Many also had jobs to earn extra money. Full-time jobs were an option that could not have been possible during the school year. I loved having a full-time job in the summer. I made a lot of money, and put some in the bank, said senior Jenny Meier. Other activities of the Summer of ' 86 included the annual Canal Days and Three Rivers Festival celebrations. Due to extremely rainy weather and a new location, there was not as big a turnout during Canal Days as in past years. But the Three Rivers Festival was a huge success. Even when the Summer of 86 came to an end, the memories would last forever. had a great time with my friends. There is just no better time of the year! stated sophomore Jenny Brock- man. Michelle Geller Many students enjoyed scenery like this if they went to the lake for summer vacation. Pretty Lake in South Milford, Indiana was a good place to go watch the sun set. On August 13, 1986, Loverboy came to the Fort Wayne Memorial Coliseum, with Dokken open- ing the show. The concert was enjoyed by many New Haven students, and will be remembered by all who went. by Michelle Cellei Sophomore Paul Zurbuch, Mike McNeal, and Troy Hoffer hear no evil, speak no evil, or see no evil at Mike ' s cottage on Lake James. Paul and Troy visited Mike for a weekend during the sum- mer. Seniors Andrea Cilley and Melissa Davis take time out to relax and soak up some rays at Marble Lake. Many New Haven students spent quite a bit of their summer vacations at the lake. Su «
