There's a couple of parties and a dance at school. Beverly Greenwood, junior, said. How about going to the dance on Friday night then on Saturday go to a party? Jennifer Simmons, junior, said. Yeah, that would be fun! Students got together both socially and academically. They got together with friends and classmates to do things they wanted to do or just to study. Getting together at a dance allowed me to talk to friends about my dates. It also let me jump around, dance and just have fun. Sometimes it helped me just to get out of the house, Shelly Moore, sophomore, said. There were more than just social activities on weekends. Some of the high school students felt that their curricular activities were a time to get together. Getting into groups in Ag helped us to learn more and also helped to make the time go by a lot faster. When we worked together we could learn from each other's mistakes artd it helped us to better understand our own mistakes, Theresa Fifield, freshman, said. Pressure helped people get together to learn what improve- ments needed to be made. Getting together for a journalism deadline helped us to see the things that needed to be improved. Instead of the normal one hour class period, we had four or five hours to work on meeting the deadline. During this time it helped us to work, create and make many improvements we ordinarily would not have had time for, Kellie Cole, senior, said. No matter where they were, students got together. They socialized or studied or just came together for fun. STUDYING together are Ann Kostak and Kenny Williams, juniors. They used their lunch period to catch up on their school work. 18 STUDENT LIFE -. VALENTINE'S DANCE Students dance to their favorite tunes at the Valentine's dance held by the juniors.

ummer acation A time to relax, to travel, to enjoy From Califomia to New York, students and teachers went on vacations. Summer was for relaxing and being entertained. Each brought something new. Last summer in New Braunfels, while tubing down the river-- along with losing a shoe and my sunglasses--we nearly drowned, Lori Simpkins, senior, said. Some teachers had unique experiences on vacations. One coach went to Virginia. Driving across the I A 'S if-Skiiif ff , Chesapeake Bay bridge tunnel, seeing nothing but water, I felt a tremendous impulse to remain on the bridge, Hugh Shapiro, trainer, said. Sometimes we find out interesting things about the people we meet on vacations. While visiting Cozumel, Mexico, last summer, I was the co-pilot on an 18 passenger plane. Later, the pilot turned out to be the maitre d' at the restaurant, Judy Roy, psycho- logylsociology teacher, said. Some students encountered trouble while traveling out of the country. One student went to Australia to visit and explain the Red Oak Ag program. WhenI got to Australia, my baggage was left in Los Angeles. I had to buy my clothes and I got my luggage two days later, Ronald Morris, sophomore, said. All in all, summer vacations were relaxing and fun. They provided a real break from regular school year routines. R ' 44... REPRESENTING RED OAK at Belair Agriculture High school ln Adelaide, Australia ls Ronald Morris, sophomore.
