Lazy, summertime fun Students welcome stress free days As the month oflune came around, the word summer was on most students minds. Fun, sun, and travel was the major goal. The hectic schedule would be ended for another year, and students were ready for the relaxation and the pure enjoyment summer holds. Along with summer came the usual activities such as sleeping late, watching T.V. iespecially the soap operas that were missed during the school yearl, working, or just having fun. I slept as late as as I could, then sat around the house all day and watched T.V., and usually went out at night, said senior Danielle Mohrwhen describinga typical summer day. Students could be found in many places on hot summer days though these kinds of days were seldom experienced because of the mostly cool weather last summer. Swimming pools and trips to the lake were popular places to meet people and get the perfect tan. When avoiding the heat, or beating rainy day blues, many people could be found in shopping malls and movie theaters. WATER SPORTS are common in Nebraska on hot summer days. Senior Bill Griffin enjoys a nice day for windsurfing at Holmes lake. 10!Summer Fun BRAZIL OFFERS many beautiful sights to people who travel there. Senior Ilse Wendorff spent two months there as a part of the AFS program. On the other hand, some students had the opportunity to travel abroad through Lincoln Public School trips, family vacations, and various types of exchange programs. junior Ed Palleson vacationed in Europe with his family. Among the countries visited, they stopped in Russia for one week. I found the USSR most interesting of the places we visited, he said. Ilse Wendorff, a senior, also had an opportunity to travel to aforeign country and experience their culture. Through the cultural exchange program American Field Service QAFSI, Wendorff spent about three months living with a family in Brazil. After going through a long process involving filling out of forms and interviews, she was chosen to be an ambassador in Brazil though France was the country she originally requested. It was hard at first because I didn't know the language tPortugueseI, she said. I had a sister who spoke English, but it was still scary and confusing at first. As summer progressed, students grew restless with the monotonous vacation days. A longing grew for the routine and stability that school days provided. As the school year continued though, the longing for lazy summer days developed once again. -Paula Danekas J 5,2 ,P wr kt' 16 ' 1 ' - - V V ., -- -f Jr' Qs' s.

Education durin lul Far from Southeast students learn School and hard work was not forgotten for all students on the last day of school. Summer school, clinics, camps, and contests were a part of many summer calendars. While some students chose to attend summerschoolat EastHigh toget requirements out of the way, others went because of low grades during the regular school year. It gave me a reason to get up and fix my Cheerios, was junior Carrie Richardson's reason for going. Mike Dahm, also a junior, said he went to school to break the tedium of summer life. Variousclinicsand campswere held for cheerleading, drill team, student council, sports, drum majors, journalism, and photography. Some clinics, like cheerleadinganddrillteam,forinstance, were mandatory while others like journalism were not required. Working was also part of th everyday schedule for some Senior Doug Thompson at Wyuka Cemetary for his He worked 8-5 Mondays 54 ' frra l 'J' iff' I .

Senior Kris Petch earns some extra spending money working in the drive-thru at Runza Drive Inn. and also on weekends doing mainte- nance work. I liked it because I like working with lots of dead people around. It was nice and quiet, he said. National contests and meetings wereapart ofsummerforafewstudents. Seniors Rob McEntarffer and lim Hanna went to the National Speech and Debate Tournament in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Hanna placed fourth in the nation for his humorous interpertation, and said the thing hewillremember mostwas making it to the final seven and competing before a large audience. I had a blast! was the way senior Bob Holbert described his week at the National Association for Student Councils in Pittsburg. Many ideas, speakers, and inspirational films were enjoyed by both Holbert, the Nebraska State Student Council President, and Selina Shultz, the State's Council secretary, who was also chosen to go. Whetherastudentwentacrosstown to East High or across the country to Wisconsin, many new things were learned. Students came back to school with new ideas and knowledge gained from their summer educational experiences. -Carol Yost Summer Work!9
