Summer is carefree, happy days Summer is vacation. Summer is slender, tan bodies breaking the silent ripples of cool blue water with dives and shouts and splashes. Summer is no shirts, sleeveless blouses, shorts, sandals and barefeet. Summer is picnics with chicken, baked beans, potato salad, lemonade and good company. Summer is baseball— sliding in home, stealing third base, hit- ting that homer, and pitching a no-hitter. Summer is a trip to New York, Colorado, California, Florida, Mexico and France- all points, seeing new sights, famous sights, sights to never for- get. Summer is dances and parties and staying out late. Sum- mer is that first job— the first day of anxiety, the boring slow days, the tired feeling, the first paycheck and all its glory. Summer is a shady patch of grass beneath an enormous, green, spreading tree. Summer is a fan whirring in the still of the night. Summer is a time of enjoyment and laughter.
