Summer brings break from school routine When summer arrived, students breaking away from Uwe old school day routine went their own sepa- rate ways. Many students packed up and headed for the beach or other resorts while others simply found ways to occupy themselves at home. Several students even traveled abroad. The experience turned out to be exciting, and if students have the chance to travel abroad, they should take advantage of the opportuni- ty, said junior Michael Williams who visited Mexico over the summer. The World's Fair, held in Knoxville, Tennessee, attracted many students and faculty members. However, the fair seemed to lack student appeal. When asked how they like it, most students responded as did junior Sharon Armstrong: l enjoyed it, but a lot of it was a waste of money. Hotel rates were ridiculous, but the pavilions were good. Other students found part time jobs to occupy their time but more importantly to gain extra money. Still ot.hers took an altogether different approach to sum- mer. They preferred to share their time with All My Chil- dren , General Hospital , and other soap operas. Lounging in front of the tube, they matched wits with game show contestants and listened to the sound of bells and buzzers well into the day. Movies and concerts were also popular means of enter- tainment away from the heat. Of all the movies l saw this summer, Rocky lll was best. l cried and became emotionally involved, junior Cheryl Henke said. Several bands, including Van Halen and Prince, toured in North Carolina drawing an abundance of Senior High students. Senior Mike Ayers said, My favorite concert was at a nightclub played by the Flock of Seagulls. Afterwards, l met the whole band. Senior Anthony Pittman said, Prince has a good concept of what the audi- ence likes. The show was terrific. Dorothy A.

Student beauty aids - the aggravations go on If eyeglasses did not exist, if curl- ing irons had never been invented, and if braces were just a figment of someones imagination, there would certainly be a lot of partially blind, stringy-headed, and snag- gle-toothed people roaming the halls of Senior High. Many students took for granted all the accessories they used to beautify their appearance or to help them in some other manner. Junior Melanie Raper's dependence on her curling iron was strictly a matter of habit and security. My curling iron doesn't really do any goody it just makes me feel better and secure, Melanie said. Both students and teachers relied on these various aids. A large number, if not the majority, of teachers wore glasses or contacts. I couldn't teach without my glasses, English teacher Elizabeth Hardy said. Using the aids was by no means fun and games. Long hours of wearing bulky curlers and repeated cleanings of smudged glasses were obstacles that some people wished they had never had to face. The first few days of adjusting to new braces were especially painful. When l first got my braces l didn't think l would be able to stand them for two years, sophomore Carmen Coley said. The dusty autumn atmosphere was extremely bothersome to contact wearers. My contacts have really been bothering me lately. Some times they are just a pain! senior Ashley Tulloss said one autumn afternoon. Practically every student depended on some sort of aid, whether it was an expensive 1250-watt high powered hair dryer or a cheap pair of dime store sunglasses. Suzanne P. Dix ,Z D.
