Jocks hurried to the gym or their designated fields, sometimes sending players to Old Mission for practices and games. Actors and actresses mumbled lines from Brighton Beach Memoirs as they transformed into their characters, heading for the little theatre or auditorium. We found ourselves jumping in our cars and accelerating to United Super, Dales or Mc Donald 's, ready to work or just spend our money. On weekends we rode around in our Z-28's or pickups, looking for somethin' to do. We hooted and hollered for our teams at sporting competitions, especially basketball and football games. Afterwards, we danced as hard as we could at the Ambush Cafes. School brought us together, yet when it became the weekend or after school, we went our separate ways. The different things that we did made us just that kind of people. Original. 6 Qtudont life division

-1 'V,' 1 8 Summer fun Kansas City spends its summer together while School 's out ansas City was a J ekyll-and-Hyde story. By day, it took on the look of a big city. But at night, frantic became friendly as Kansas City assumed a small town hey, I know you attitude. VVhen Kansas City got together, some- thing was going on. Even if the surf wasn' t up, something was always happen- ing at Shawnee Mission Park Beach. Newly opened this sum- mer, the beach was a gathering place that offered such activities as volleyball, swimming or just laying out and meeting people. It's not really a beach, it's just a bunch of people standing around, said senior Mickey Schultz. he city showed off its musical history at the Kansas City Jazz Festival, a two-day event in Volker Park. About 100,000 showed up to listen to the music of Wynton Marsalis, Mike Metheny, Hilton Ruiz, and several jam groups. There were a lot of strange people there, said junior Shaun Anderson, but everyone was so friendly. It was really cool. erhaps the most apparent evidence of Kansas City unity was attendence at Royals baseball games. Vlfhenever the Royals played in Kansas City, there was usually a near-sellout crowd. Everyone booed Bo Jackson after he signed with the CLos Angelesb Raiders, said sophomore Tony Vargas, but me and my friend stood up and cheered. It's his business if he wants to play football C tool Despite some bad feelings, Royal blue fans poured into the stadium all summer long. Togetherness was a necessity here in Cowtown. Without it, we were just another metropo- lis. But with it, Kansas City was a big backyard in which everyone could play. Togetherness made summer fun more fun. CCopy by Roger Burksj
