iF Only TRE Heal Summer usually comes to an abrupt halt with the opening of school. However, as the students returned to schoal in 1975, they knew that summer was not over yet. The continuance of the summer heat was among the memories of the first day of school. As the day wore on, the heat seemed to clos e in on everyone. By late afternoon when the students gathered for the opening day assembly, all thoughts were smothered with the anticipation of getting back to the pool. Even the reac- tions toward the cheers for the upcoming football season were hindered by the heat which was so uncharacteristic of football weather. The heat dragged on through the first week of classes. In fact, several area schools dismissed early due to the intense afternoon heat. However, Parry McCluer students ‘sweated it out’. After a week of schedule changes and reunions in the un- bearable heat, the students were ready for a welcomed Labor Day vacation. The beginning of Labor Day activities was delayed by a downpour. But after an hour, the skies cleared and the waiting was over. The Marching Blues led the pa- rade, which was the official opening of Buena Vista's Bicentennial celebration. From the site of the parade, downtown Buena Vista, activities shifted to Glen Maury Park. The day was filled with politi- cal campaigning, eating, socializing, lis- tening to music, and getting sunburned. Even the rain had not pushed away the sizzling heat. As night fell, the rain returned and the traditional finale of fireworks was can- celled. The Labor Day celebration was prematurely ended, and as the day closed, so did summer. At the close of their first day in high school, the eighth graders show mixed emotions as they gather for their first assembly. 8 Summer ends
