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 «

Since I was going to be a senior, I tried to make the summer the best one I ' ve ever had. It was great, and when the summer was over it was sad to know my last summer n high school had just ended. — Andrea Gilley After a very rough evening at the lake, senior Gina Murua amazingly wakes up with a smile on her face. No one seems to know how she does it! Summer 9 t
