More than just fun in the sun While many students and teachers feel that summer is lazy sun-filled days, many are busy working or at some type of other activity. Some of the activities that stu- dents are involved in are Boy’s and Girl’s State, sponsored by the American Legion, Publications Workshops, and Leadership Ad- venture, which the Virginia YMCA sponsors. For those who indulge in recreational activities, there are cheerleading camps, and various sports clinics. Many students play on recreation teams; others have part-time jobs to earn a little pocket money. Whatever turns them on, students find time during those three glorious months to do it. Demonstrating some of the newly acquired abilities taught at Boy’s State, John Hirtz, Steve Hall, and Bo Tweedy seem to have learned the wild and crazy guy routine. Delegates to Girl’s State, Sally Johnson, Valerie Cun- ningham, and Karen Beale, share a few laughs about their experience. 8 Summer

And so it goes, you laugh, work, talk, and rush your way through six classes just in time to change clothes and start practice. You finally get home around 6:00 p.m. and start on you homework. Was it really worth it to get up so early and go through all that? Yes, it was. Student Life 7
