Templeratures sizzled past 100 de- grees and students were forced to find ways to cool off. Many frequented Lakes Texoma or Tenkiller for weekend water-skiing trips. White Water was al- ways crowded, even late into the night, For some students, learning was ex- tended into summertime in the form of workshops or summer camps. Rocky Ridge orchestra camp was a seven- week stint in Estes Park, Colorado. Alli- son Yee, Debi Lusk and lvey Simmons attended this camp, which was com- prised of private lessons, orchestra re- hearsals, and theory classes. I took senior English in summer school instead of taking it this year, said Glenn Travis. lt was easier be- cause I only had to worry about one class instead of five or six.

Out- ings and parties were postponed until students could somehow make some money to spend. Aside from stealing, a part-time job was the only answer. But while the long line of fast-food restaurants beckoned, students fought to see that their jobs were just a little out of the ordinary. Mike Potter, sophomore, threw newspapers for the Oklahoma City Times. I only throw papers in the afternoon so at least l don't have to get up earIy, Potter said. It can be kind of a pain, though. When I was in the play Runaways,I had to leave rehearsal early every day to throw the papers on time. Kathleen Morton, senior, took care of children at the Acorn Children's Center. lt's not a bad job, but it gets v l . l and spending itj nerve-racking in the winter becausel the kids can't go out to play. They getl restless, Kathleen said. Q However, the best part of the moneyf game happened after work, when pay-2 checks were securely in hand, With theg exception of a few who were able tof put money away, most students spentl their money almost as fast as they made: lt. I My money goes so fast that I hardly? have time to enjoy having some for al change, said Glendia Robertson,j sophomore.
