Summer Attractions Lure All If everyone had to pick a fa¬ vorite place to spend their summer vacation, it would probably be the beach. The beach displays everyones per¬ fect idea of summer. The sun, sand, and surf combined is what seems to attract most. Even though many work dur¬ ing most of the season, at one time or another, they usually end up at the beach. There is a lot of sun for a good tan, plen¬ ty of water for swimming, nu¬ merous rides and attractions, and of course, during your va¬ cation there is nothing to do but sit around and relax. Actu¬ ally going to the beach, for most people, is a luxury that comes only after a hard year of work. Many students have summer jobs, so they can’t ask for time off to go on a vaca¬ tion. More and more students are working or going to sum¬ mer school instead of vaca¬ tioning. One may think they have to, but many juniors will say that they enjoy working for the money, not because they have to have it, but be¬ cause they like having extra money to spend. Some of the lucky few that were able to vacation this year includes a group of teachers who went on a tour of New York City this summer. They were Bidgie Buchanan, Phyl¬ lis Eastridge, and Ellen Haw¬ kins. According to them there is no place like the “Big Ap¬ ple.” During one day and one night, they experienced all there was to see in the city. They watched a Broadway play, ate hot pastrami sand¬ wiches, dined in a night club, strolled down Fifth Avenue, and shopped at Saks. They said the New York drivers were unbelievable, the people and sites weje incredible, and all this made the city magnifi¬ cent. English teacher Bidgie Buchanan said she couldn’t wait to go back again to see whatever she might have missed this trip. Their favor¬ ite photographs were those taken of the Statue of Liberty. They all agreed that if given a chance to go to New York, one must go by and see her in Stat¬ en Island. Another lucky group was that of sixteen students, two teachers and their families, and several other families who went to Mexico near the end of the summer. The Spanish teachers took a group of Span¬ ish III students to Mexico for an educational study tour of the country. They visited his¬ toric sites throughout the country and they also spent a day in Acapulco. Because it was almost the end of the sum¬ mer and the students would have to begin school again soon, this vacation, like all others, came to an end long before anyone wanted. When school began, one of the first questions heard was “What did you do this sum¬ mer?”, and as in years past, everyone had something ex¬ citing to tell. Many tourists are seen strolling the streets of New York. The entrance to the Chase Manhattan Bank is visible on the left. 8 Summer
