Senior Kevin Hicks spends precious summer hours helping his mother with the household chores as twin brother Ken takes a camera break. Summer fun - inside and out or some students summer was a dream come true. For others, it was just two months of parties, work, late curfews, dates, the beach, and sleeping late. The beach was the most popular place for spending time. I spent most of my summer there, said sophomore Paige Par- ker. It was great. I went to both sandbar parties. I had a festive time with all my Rocky Mount friends and met some interesting people, senior joe Fish said. A few students traveled to France and Germany, but most stayed near home, going to King's Dominion, sleeping or watching soap operas. Sophomore Wendy Minor said, I went on the western tour and visited Las Vegas, San Francisco, and the Grand Canyon in Arizona. I spent most of my summer working at the Atlantis Seafood Restaurant serving shrimp and stuff, junior Lisa Cooper said. It was fun because many of my friends also worked there. While many chose jobs inside, a few served as lifeguards. My most rewarding experience was saving a little boy from drowning, said senior Mar- ti Mucci. The lower field and parking lot became practicing grounds for the number one band in the nation as they prepared to de- fend their title. As the opening of school drew near, senioritis struck, turning sophomore's lives upside down. Seniors taunted the baby sophs when they showed up at junior and senior parties. Although the con- tinuing tradition was all in fun, many of the sophomores were intimidated by the self-proclaimed Mighty Class of '85. As everyone eased back into school, summer vacation faded into a memory, and students found themselves back into the old routine. By the end of the first week, students were already planning for next summer.

Sweltering heat and high humidity give juniors Mary Cerjan, Ashely Ayers, and Chantal Wright an excuse for a well-deserved break from band camp drudgery. Hiclg Summer ecti ities - 13
