Fun under the sun D-R-R-R-R-I-N-C, The final bell clanged, signaling the end of school and the beginning of two and a half months of what everyone hoped would be a fun-filled summer. Lockers slammed for the last time, echoing emptily as the newly-freed inmates es- caped into the already hot out-of-doors, thoughts of Six Flags and White Water in their heads. They looked forward to finding ways to beat the heat and have some fun. Vacations away from home were a welcomed change and helped in making summer even more exciting. 1 vacationed in Los Angeles. 1 visited Disneyland Univer- sal Studios and the Wax Museum. You name it and 1 did it,” said junior Ricky Martinez. Water parks and local pools provided another form of escaping the heat. White Water and Six Flags were among the places to escape when the heat was unbeara- ble. “1 spent my whole sum- mer at White Water,” said freshman Kecia Adams. Un- like Adams, many prefered the thrills and hills of the Shockwave to the roaring tides of the wave pool. As sophomore Margaret Ridge attested, Six Flags was my home away from home.” But not all were as fortu- nate. The unlucky ones were fnimr The streets of D.C.

Watching anything from reruns to soaps helped to beat boredom. B-R-R-R-R-l-N-G The same clamor that announced the beginning, signaled the end of summer and the resumption of the old routine.

Combining work and play, students managed by king it all in ipping down into the smoky cold counter, she scraped repeatedly over the pistachio almond fudge until it formed into a hard round ball. She delicately placed it onto the sugar cone, pressing it until she was sure it wouldn’t fall off but not so hard as to break the cone. It wasn’t back-breaking work and it kept her out of the summer’s heat. Deanna couldn’t complain too much. Working for an inde- pendently owned Baskin Robbins, Deanna Sockwell was paid less than minimum wage. Jobs were only one part of summer. Summer camps were another. Cheerleaders, flag corps members and journalism students attended camps at NTSU, San Marcus, Eastfield and UTA. Among the first to go were the flag corps. At the NTSU camp, June 17-20, Lisa Kahanek, Rebecca Schuhmacher and Andrea Adams learned new moves and flag techniques that they used the next school year. The cheerleaders at- tended camp at NTSU where the squad sought and received recognition. The camp staff chose 15 of the best squads. Skyline was one of them. Yearbook and news- paper staff attended work- shops at Eastfield and UTA, learning the intricacies of writing headlines, stories, designing pages and taking photographs. Still others invested in summer school. In fact, over 250. Skyline students took one or more classes in DISD summer school. Senior Nini Zarzuela explained that she took health during the sum- mer in order to free up an hour of her schedule for an extra elective. 1 just couldn’t see spending a whole semes- ter on something 1 could get done in six weeks,” stated Zarzuela. With the end of summer, so came the end of summer jobs, summer camps and summer school. It was now time to settle back into the old regimen of homework, late night study and school activities—things that left lit- tle time, if any, for remember- ing the activities of summer. •Tina Viol mo Who’s got spirit?
