etting away from it all Shouts of joy were heard throughout the school as the last bell rang on June 11, 1987. Summer vacation was officially announced and summer plans were in full swing. The summer, having been the longest break ever, was well awaited for by many students. Anticipation was at long last rewarded. Not seeing friends for three months, how¬ ever, meant sadness for some. Time off was spent in exotic places as well as nearby Claytor Lake. Freshman, Ray Murphy, said, “My summer vacation was all right. I went to Myrtle Beach and enjoyed every minute I spent there. ” A group of Mr. Park’s foreign language students went to Mexico City, Taxco, and Acapulco. Jennette Blankenship took an ex¬ citing trip to Switzerland and the Netherlands as an exchange student. Vacation, however, was not all filled with travel plans. Many students had the opportunity to work a full time job to earn money for the things they enjoyed doing. For those who were lucky enough to get a new car, spending care¬ free nights cruisin’ with their friends was enough vacation for them. Full of peace. In the fall, after the crowd has gone home, Claytor Lake and the State Park are a peaceful place to be. Here the lake is shown at it’s lowest point ever. Another culture. While having an evening dinner in Switzerland, Jennette Blanken¬ ship has a conversation about the Nether¬ lands with her host-mother, Mrs. Diet Van Lit. Hard at work. While most students and teachers are still on vacation, Lynn Goad and Kathy Bishop work long hours before the new school year begins. 8 — Summer Vacations

It took a weekend for a night out with the crew!

This is the life. Many teenagers go to Myrtle Beach in South Carolina each year. As Ray Murphy walks the ocean front, he encounters many tourist. Enough for today. During the summer you could find many students in their backyards getting that “perfect tan.’’ Here, two students pack up after a day in the sun. Life’s a beach! While the wind is calm and the sun goes down, two PCHS students share a moment together on the shore. Summer Vacations — 9
