Those Lazy, Hazy, Crazy Days of Summer Each year around the be¬ ginning of June, a pleasant state of chaos hits Patrick County High School. Stu¬ dents and teachers alike were ready to leave school and go on to summer activities. The activities varied, but the an¬ ticipation that was brought on by the summer months was felt by all. Many of the students at Patrick County High School chose to spend their summer playing sports either to stay in shape or just for the fun of it. The possibilities for sum¬ mer recreation here in Patrick County were endless. There were summer baseball teams for the baseball lovers, either coaching little league or play¬ ing pony league or Connie Mack. Still other baseball fans chose to umpire the game. Tennis team members, or just avid tennis fans, could be found on the courts of the Jaycee Park as well as the courts at DeHart Park play¬ ing set after set, day after day, A multitude of students, how¬ ever chose to bask in the sun day after day and to take an occasional dip in the pool at DeHart Park. Others, though, chose a dif¬ ferent route on activities for their summer vacations. This route was that of summer em¬ ployment. Many teachers and students alike sought jobs to fill their days. These jobs were as varied as the recrea¬ tion possibilities, and some were even intertwined. Some of these intertwining employ¬ ment opportunities were life- guarding at the local pool, or teaching tennis at the park. Other summer jobs were not quite as enticing, however. Many worked in the local fac¬ tories and plants of the coun¬ ty, while others worked in the numerous tobacco fields of this and the surrounding counties. Whether you chose to spend your summer working, playing, or a little of both, it inevitably came to an end in late August when those school bells began to ring again and those “lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer” had to be over¬ looked and forgotten, but perhaps only temporarily. Deserted beaches of the Chesapeake Bay provide a serene atmosphere for visitors to relax. Bradley Keith spends spare summer hours practicing his backswing. itt f M W ' $ : : w i V 6 Summer
