Summer Spent Swimming, Training During the hot months of June, July, and August, one could see many South Side students taking advantage of their free time and enjoying themselves. Teen-agers were found at the popular summer resort, Markle, a gravel pit in Mar- kle, Indiana. It was just one of the many places to swim when the sun was really beating down. Then there was Foster Park. Every year, without fail, students are spotted at the park for a game of golf or tennis or maybe just for a walk. This year bike races were organized that took A Cutting the lawn is one of the chores that Jennifer Graham, freshman, performs during the summer months. place on the trails that wind along the river through the park. Besides spending the sum- mer with friends, teens attended family lake cottages for a weekend, a couple of weeks, or maybe even the whole summer. Many kids had the oppor- tunity to go out of town on vacation with their parents. Most of them returned with a tan that others were envious of. Others attended band camp or started work-outs for the upcoming football and cross-country season.

Hangouts Full on Weekends South Side students had many places that they could go to meet fellow students. On weekends, especially on game nights, one place was Pizza Hut. One would find most of the people that were at the game were waiting for tables or, if they were lucky enough to get tables, busily talking about the days' events and elaborating on the game. Even if they couldn't make the game, some would show up at the hangouts. If people didn't have patience enough to wait for tables at Pizza Hut they were often found at McDonald's across the street, where they could be served fast and find a place to sit. During the week, however, the scene changed. In the morning, relatively calm groups of people could be found in the center hallway, while at the same time a very nervous group of people was seen frantically trying to fin- ish their homework in the computer room. If the weather were anything but freezing, there would be hordes of people outside the cafeteria doors, escaping the mass confusion of the over- crowded lunch room during lunch. After school, the big hang- out was Foster Park. There were often joggers, bikers, or people just hanging around there. But soon people would have to leave to do home- work and wish for the week- end, when they could go back to Pizza Hut arid wait for unlimited minutes for a table to sit at.
