That good ol' summer time As spring draws to an end and summer is just around the corner. Vikings regain that annual perception of summer time fun. Attending classes, doing homework assignments, and even studying for final exams don't seem to matter anymore; nothing could replace the vi- sions of the up-coming fun-filled day. Frisbees, assorted shorts and bright-colored swimwear, T-shirts, dark-colored sunglasses, and sun tan lotions instantaneously pop out to replace the drab winter jacket. With the sum- mer essentials in hand, Vikings are finally ready for the summer vacation to arrive. The pencils, notebooks, and Cliff notes are ready to be stored away until next year. Just the idea of not having homework for three full months is enough vacation for some Vikes. Students can now take those long-awaited trips with the family. Co camping with a few close buddies, or just to the lake cabin for a weekend. When Vikes are not out on these trips, the phones will be constantly busy with the daily gossip like, Did you hear what hap- pened to Jenifer's skiing trip last week? Or, Do you know that Rod is throwing another of his parties next week? When all the gossip has been exchanged, the traditional lines like, Meet you at the club for a few sets of tennis or, Let's go shopping, could be used to end the conversation before we dash out the door and rush to our meeting places. Summer is not all fun and play, however; many Vikes find it advantageous to hold part- time jobs, for this provides an opportunity to make a little extra spending money and still allow enough time to spend it. Although I have a job, I would sometimes get bored, said one Viking. Well for those odd-balls who could still get bored with all these activities, there are always soap-operas on the television, video games, hang outs, con- certs, etc. to enlighten their boredom. With all these extravagant activities, Vikings have no problems in agreeing that the best time of the year is the good ol' summer time. RELAXING on a hoi summer day gives layne Ann Bond a chance to soak up the sun's rays. 8 • That Good Ol' Summer Time

Our times . . . everyday An alarm rings and the snooze button is immediately pressed. It rings again and the alarm barely es- capes getting thrown off the table. Another day has begun. Arriving at school are 934 dreary-eyed, sleepy students. First hour is barely survived before second hour begins. Word gets around that hall sweeps will be held for third hour, so the halls are emptied long before the tardy bell rings. Now in third hour, those good ol' announcements are heard — they could almost be memorized! Thanks to fund-raising candy sales the ol' stomach makes it through fourth hour. At last — Lunch! Viking land comes alive as the 30-minute lunch hour begins. The cafeteria becomes full and the parking lot empties as some students choose Roy's or Mickey Dees' for a rushed lunch. If the weather permits, a few frisbees or footballs might be seen. The bell rings and fifth hour is spent chomping leftover ice and humming songs that had been on the radio during lunch. At last sixth hour be- gins and is spent thinking about after school activities, either sports prac- tice or meetings. Finally, the day is through and homeward bound it is. If school is so rotten, why is it that the evening is spent on the phone talking about the past day's events and the upcoming activities?!? HELPING TO RAISE SCHOOL SPIRIT for the weekly sport event are seniors Reggie James, Stacy Crutchfield, Kenneth O’Brien, and Allison Lambird. 10 • Our Times ... Everyday
