-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

However, for a few , the every- day routine was set aside. In mid-July, the varsity cheerleaders and yell leaders attended a five-day camp at Kansas University. Going into camp I was pretty nervous, but when I found out there were 600 girls and only 25 guys, things became a little more comfortable, said a laughing Jason Buxton. But seriously, we went in there just saying we were going to do our best, and if we did that, that was enough. Doing their best got them sec- ond place out of 74 squads. We were scared because last year's squad was so good, but we pulled it off because we stuck together. We worked as a squad , instead of individuals. Traveling cross country to Indiana, Thespians and members of the publications staffs attend- ed week-long sessions at Ball State University. Yearbook copy editor Terri Redman, senior, said, I thought 10 - summer camps I could automatically become a great copy editor. Without the preparation I received at Ball State, I wouldn't have been able to handle the pressure. Afterwards, I felt prepared for the responsibility. earbook editor Monie Montemayor, senior, said, I realized that instead of every- one going their separate ways, we'd have to learn to work as a team. Thespians learned that some- times doing their own thing was exactly what they needed. We had to do our own thing, we all had different interests we had to fulfill, said senior Jenny Geldon. I learned how to look at drama as someone on the out- side would. You have to act for the audience, not for yourself. As the workshops came to a close and the school year rapidly approached, the glassy-eyed couch potatoes had to tear themselves away from the tube while the happy campers prepared to put their new knowledge to use.
