“Fun In The Sun” Annual Beach Music Festival Comes To Foothills What images do the words “shagging, and the Chairman of the Board” bring to mind? Certainly not a school board meeting! These terms refer to the annual “Fun In The Sun” Beach Music Festival held at Wayside Park by the Stuart Jaycees. This was the fourth year for the Jaycees and it was definitely a success. As a mat¬ ter of fact, it was too success¬ ful! “We needed more parking facilities, and we ran out of room for vehicles and people. It was that popular!” com¬ ments Jaycee director, Bill Pons. Some of the groups that performed were big-name East-coast favorites such as the Band of OZ, Embers, The Tams, and the Part-time Par¬ ty Band. The Chairman of the Board was unanimously voted the favorite of the event and received the most enthusiasm from the crowd. The festival did not go off completely without a hitch, though, reflects Bill Pons. “We always have difficulty in finding enough people who are willing to work all day to make this event a success. And there are always problems with crowd control when alcohol is permitted in the audience, but we’ve had very little trouble with that one. We’ve really been proud of the audience.” Many of the students here at Patrick County High at¬ tended the festival and deemed it a huge success. One commented, “It made my summer! What a party-time!” These favorable opinions and the favorable turnout, hand-in-hand with the never- ending popularity of beach music, will keep “Hot Fun in the Sun” just as much fun for year to come! Annually, the Beach Music Festival is held at Wayside Park and each year the crowd gets bigger while the music gets better. As seen here many students from P.C.H.S. enjoyed the weekend filled with sun, fun, and, of course, beach music. Taking a break from the hot sun, these seniors provide some entertainment of their own. I guess you could say they sire enjoying a little “afternoon delight.” 6 Beach Music Festival

Hot Fun In The Summertime And No Bells or Tests Sun, fun, and excitement — what words could better describe summer? Summer was definitely filled with sun this year. The temperatures rose higher and higher, which only perfected the swimming and sunbathing conditions. Many students chose to hit the beaches and local pools in an effort to escape the heat. The high temperatures also provided the students with a chance to improve their tans. Even on the few cloudy days, many students chose to partake of tanning beds and booths. And as for fun, well, what could be more fun than lying on the beach, watching the scenery, relaxing, and then later hitting the main strip? (That’s the exciting part!) Soon, however, the vacations were over and many had to return home to summer jobs or to help out at home. Summer isn’t all work and play though. It is a chance to be with friends and family. It is a time when you can sit back and relax. You don’t have to worry about getting up early and getting ready for school. And since there is no school, you don’t have to worry about tests or quizzes. As with most things, however, summer comes to an end, or at the least the vacation time does, because school is just around the corner. But don’t worry, in just 180 days, it will be back again. Juniors, Jean Castillo and Tim Britt share a European vacation with family and friends. Gliding along the waves the sailboat creates a tranquil scene. 8 Summer
