hh, the sounds of sum- Those Lazy, Hazy, Crazy Days mer! The lovely melody Summer of 88 Sizzled of a lone mosquito in one’s bedroom at midnight. The soothing tone of the car over- heating in the midst of a traffic ceiieiend jam. And the constant lamen- tations about the searing heat. The summer of ‘88 sure did siz- zle! The intense heat and hu- midity assured that pools and beaches were crowded with students seeking relief. But there was more to summer than heat. The students on break were what really made it sizzle! Although several students visited Europe, most chose to vacation closer to home. Nag’s Head, Ocean City, and Virginia Beach were all extremely popu- lar. Most had summer jobs: life- guarding, construction, and fast food were common lines of work for students in search of cash. Athletic teams attended camp over the summer. The Pom Pon and Cheerleading squads prepared for the foot- ball season, and the band and members of the basketball and girl’s tennis teams also went to camp. These athletes worked hard to make their teams hot. No matter how one spent it, the sizzling summer soon end- ed, and it came time to con- centrate on making the ‘88- ‘89 school year as red-hot as the summer of ‘88!

- very year students anxiously drudgingly looked ahead to another exciting school term. Un- certain smiles were on our faces as we walled through the halls to homeroom. As we talked in the halls and during class, we heard all kinds of stories of summer, jobs, and romances. As sights of college were ahead, most students took up jobs to help out. Some of the money was saved, but some was spent to just enjoy life. Movies and restaurants were a hot spot for most. Our spirit was given a big boost by the exciting wins by the foot- ball team, and the incredible field hockey team, and just the ener- getic pep rallies. We were nee =: and we were the best. Hey . We were the Wolverines! By Lori Page “What if they threw a pep rally and no- body came?” That was only a problem in the sixties. These students anxiously await for the pep rally to being.
