MUSEMENTS HIGHLIGHT LABOR DAY FESTIVITIES Screams of enjoyment and smells of cotton candy filled the air. Excitement shot to a climax as the Gar- land Jaycee's opened the thirty-ninth annual Jubilee on Sat., Sept. l, 1984. The task of setting up the park began on the Friday before, lasting most of the night. The next day, and throughout the weekend, the park was swamped with vacationers. It was a blast all weekend long! ex- claimed Freshman Julie Cascio. Along with many foods and games, several rides for all ages were there from which to choose. The best ride of all was the Tilt-a- Whirl! remarked Senior Sarah Goodlett. Behind the scenes, 28 girls from the four Garland high schools prepared them- selves to compete in the Spirit of America Pagent. I was really nervous at first, but as time went on, I got used to it and had a good time, contestant Tammy McFarland said. Among the ten finalists were North Garland contes- tants Shannon Huff and Ju- lie Kostelac, with Huff tying for fourth runner-up. The contest lasted three days and included evening gowns, talent and physical fitness. When it was all over, Tami Anderson said, Al- though none of us from North Garland won first we all had fun and got some thing special out of it Another attraction of the Jubilee was the parade which consisted of floats and bands from all over Garland. The pageant con testants waving to people on the sides of the road found a spot in the parade. It was the first time that I have ever seen the Labor day pa rade, said Sophomore Eleni Kaperonis. She then added, I'll go and see it again next year, for sure!

218 ENSATIONS UE SUMMER MEAN COOL, FREE FUN IN THE SUN Lying around the pool, staying up late and having no homework are luxuries that come only for students during summer. For that reason at the end of the 1984-85 year, Junior Cindy Corley said, I live for the fun in the sun and I reach for the beach! The students who felt the summer was for living it upi' were the ones who took advantage of this freedom without textbooks. Sum- mer was a fantastic sensa- tion! Having no homework for three months was a just dessert! said Senior April Harjala. - For others, nearly three months was not enough time for rest and relaxation. Summer went by too fast! lamented Gina Breitling, freshman, who was echoed by Junior Lahomer Holmes who said, I had a lot of fun during this short vacationf' In a different view Junior Laurie Brown said, Sum- mer is a very needed vaca- tion. After so many months of following the same sched- ule and doing the same things, we needed time to be free. We needed time to do what we wanted to without worrying about staying up too late doing our home- work. Some of the student body felt summer was just a break and eagerly awaited the re- turn of school. Sophomore Dawn Benton said, Sum- mer was okay but I was ready to get back to school.
