Summer activities generate enthusiasm Garden tractor competition at the Summitville Fair was tough; nevertheless, Ronald Hiatt succeeded in competing until his fourth round. Anticipation of winning stimulates the students' learning from Mrs. Mary Jane Brewer’s racetrack of words in the summer reading program. Releasing the rope while in the middle of the lake doesn’t upset Max Frazier and his skiing partner. 4

SHS and a song—don’t appear very comparable, do they? But to probe a little deeper, each does contain similar elements. For example, academics, the basic reason for school, could be called the underlying melody for the student body; athletics could be sub- stituted for a song’s active rhythm. Organizations, too, place in this musical structure; they contribute the blending notes to make the daily schedule more in- triguing. A final comparison deals with the most essential area of education—people. The students themselves qualify as the composers, for they create the song by their actions and words. Each adds an inexplicable part of himself to the music of the school year, unconsciously individualizing it. Yes, the song composed by SHS students in the 1968-1969 school term was a unique one; it can never be replayed, only remembered. That’s why the OAK LEAVES exists.

As afternoon shadows begin to form, Marlene Frazier enjoys one last round of skiing. Happiness is riding a merry-go-round with a little sister as an excuse. Bight, Debbie Fisher? With the end of school, SHS students plunged into a frenzy of summer activities. Most succeeded in ac- quiring suntans and sun-streaked hair before the end of the first month of vacation because of the unusually hot weather. Baling hay, store work, and painting houses occupied the hot days while AC games, in- formal basketball practices, and drive-ins filled the evenings. Highlighting the summer were the annual fireworks with the dedication of the newly constructed war memorial and the fairs of surrounding counties. Many students ended the summer with a final fling by camping out or relaxing by watching the political conventions. 5
