Sun and Fun Students Live It Up at Spring Break Spring break officially began on Friday at 2:35 April first. How- ever, for most it began earlier since class time was spent en- visioning the beach, soaking up rays and partying. Unfortunately the first weekend was mostly spent watching television shows, like Sparticus Atticus and Michelle Johnson’s favorite. The Big Valley . As the weather cleared,so did the houses. Everyone ven- tured out to the beach to bask in the sun and swim in the Gulf. At night everyone headed to Panama City for entertain- ment. However, while cruising “the strip” one evening Dianne Spooner, Debbie Foley, John Bar- row, and Brad McCown were left stranded in Panama City when the fan switch in Dianne’s car broke. By the end of the week most everyone had their limit of sun and were tired out from the cons- tant action and lack of sleep. Af- ter a week of being together all the time everyone was ready to head for home, maybe even pre- pared for another stretch of school. Spring Break 187

Rain and Wipeouts Pronounce Field Day “All Washed Up” Thirty-seven five-year olds, skinned knees, and burlap sacks, were a few things in store for student helpers and kids on field day. “Field day is canceled!” The news spread like gossip. Rainy weather had been ignored in hopes that field day would or could be held “in the gym.” Students had left books at home and homework unfin- ished. Monday arrived only to find the seniors would be late be- cause of a “Hamlet” test. The juniors and sophmores had their hands full setting up. The enjoyment of the kids was obvious. There were at least four hanging on to your hands or shirt, which by the end of the day was a “one size fits all.” All, at the same time that is. There were moments of pain and defeat. Sliding stops were popular in the scooter race. The 40-yard dash had its share of close finishes. By noon the excitement had died down. The field was clear, and the sound of laughing kids was faint, but the memory of the wipe out was still vivid, just as vivid as the blue of the ribbon with your name on it. After a first poor throw at the lire, the second hits the mark guaranteeing a blue ribbon.
