Summer adds to mix Then, toward the end of the summer, came that horde of summer school- related activities, such as football practices, La Petite practices, band's East Texas State University trip for drum majors, choir's trips to Galveston and Austin, and the Marauders two workshops. There were, of course, those who vacation with their families. These missed out on all the local fun, but journeyed to places unknown to create their own. A popular vacation spot this year attracted visitors from all over the nation. It was the new Epcot Center, the newest addition to Florida's Disney World. One Raider prowled the grounds of the futuristic 10 Student Life quasi-community along with others. His comment It's just fantastic . . . awesome. Epcot and Disney World are a separate new world in themselves. So the summer was made from a needed dose of partying, a smattering of good, healthy responsibility, a pinch of activity, and a load of inactivity to top it off. This was shaken well, and as we know, brought to a boil under that fierce Texas sun, and served approximately one school- full of students.
