Now students have more time for things they like to do best. While picking up stride for the summer ahead, students throw books aside by Stacey Berg To wake up in the morning with warmth and sunshine through- out the room and silence from the alarm clock was the thought of each student as he began his summer vacation. Putting thoughts of school aside, students awoke with excitement for their long awaited vacation. While some began their day at 6 a.m. for swim practice or driver education, others slept on pea cefully. At nine, a few more started the day off with early-morning water skiing or golfing, while still others slept on. As ten came rolling around, late-moming risers began with a stretch and made plans for activities not too strenuous for themselves. However, still unaware of the worid around them, others slept on. By twelve, lunch had begun for those who had had a busy morning, while for a few others, it was only breakfast time. After lunch, it was time for more fun in the sun. Forest Park became a popular place filled wtih families and friends. The perfect spot for a picnic and then a swim in the pool. At night, the ball park filled with baseball fans to watch the Babe Ruth players. While part of the town enjoyed themselves at the park, others were out on the beaches along Morse Reservoir. Whether it be at the Harbours, Morse Beach, or even behind the homes along the lake, swimming, boating and skiing were popular sports. In the Wellington area, people also enjoyed the sun by swimming at their community pool. Other sports like tennis, basketball, vol- leyball and football were popular on a warm summer day. As most people were spending their summer at home with friends, others went away. Throughout the state, there were camps starting for just about every type of interest. While athletes attended sports camps, cheerleaders, journalists, photographers and horseback riders also attended their specialty camps. Fairs also began and 4H members as well as others participated. Blue, red, and white ribbons were brought home as results of their work and talent. States like Florida, Ohio, Michigan, and even Utah were visited — not for work, though, but for swimming, riding the many rides at King ' s Island, and even snow skiing in Utah. While some students were taking it easy, others were working their hardest to show everyone what they did best. For the band, this meant practicing three to four hours every night. Working as a group was probably the hardest thing to do, yet it was their most important task in order to get their State Fair show down to perfection. As they waited down the track behind a few other high school bands, heartbeats began to quicken. Series of routines, notes, and counts ran rapidly through the minds of each band member. While they moved along with only one more band in front, drum majors and directors started yelling, Get ready and listen for the whistle! These were the dreaded, but also long-awaited words. On the starting line, beads of pjerspiration began to break out on the backs of every neck. Four whistles were blown and the band was off to perform a four-minute show that took all summer to perfect. Yet, they managed to get 19th place, only three places from the top sixteen list. Although tears fell, a small feeling of satisfaction came because each member knew he had done his best. Along with warmth and sunshine throughout each room in the morning and silence from each alarm clock, summer brought with it time and space for each person to do things he enjoyed the most. Strong sound is important as the band plays Birdland under the hot summer sun at State Fair during Band Day performance.
