Making the effort to get the most out of our time Summertime, and the livin' was easy. Summer was a time to catch up on all the sleep and spare time that we had missed during the school year. We took full advantage of our three months of sunny weather. Cruising around the lakes, playing miniature golf, going to drive-in-movies, or tubing down the Apple River were some of the things we could only do in the summer months. Many of us spent time away from home either at our cabins or traveling to new places. From as far away as Europe and Israel or as close to home as the Boundary Waters Canoe Area we sought new adventures. Jobs were an important part of the summer. But. sometimes work became more important than play. “I got so many extra hours at work, that I felt like I didn't have time for anything else, said Dan Israel, senior. Although jobs were time-consuming, they allowed us to grow and mature, as well as make money. Our money was saved for college, a new car, a stereo or just spending money. When not at work we found time to be with our friends. Whether we were at the lakes working on our tans or at the Dome cheering on the Twins we were free of “Summer was fun, but there was so little time and so many men, especially at the lakes.” — Wendy Krupp school pressures. Our biggest worry was trying to figure out how to get everything into those three short months. To get it all in. most of us took up the late night habit: staying up until David Letterman was over and sleeping till noon. Soap operas once again became a high priority. At least that was before Oliver North and the Iran Contra Hearings took over daytime television. Ollie North and Tammy and Jim Baker were a few of the summertime media figures who quickly went from national heroes to the butt of jokes. Locally, the summer will always be re- membered as the year of the big flood. In July, Minnesota had the largest rainfall ever recorded. We spent days bailing out our basements and cars. We can still recall what our yards and homes looked like under water. The flooded streets caused many to end up spending the night in unexpected places. Some spent the night at their desks or in their cars, while others, more fortunate, were able to get out of work the next day. Since we started school after Labor Day, we had an extra week to finish perfecting our tans. Summer was fun. but there was so little time and so many men, especially at the lakes. commented Wendy Krupp. senior. We also used the extra week to prepare for school. Buying notebooks and pencils, getting our hair cut. and shopping for fall clothes were some of the things crammed into the remaining week of summer. Although we wouldn't admit it, we were ready to go back to school. Seeing everyone we had missed during the summer made up for getting up at six a.m. again. We went back to school satisfied that we had made the most of our three short months of freedom.
