Summer Fun: Here and Abroad ooking back on the hot days of summer, students cannot believe it is time to get back into the swing of things and start school once again. On those last days of school before the sum- mer began, students started getting restless. Finally, it was time to close the books and head for the beaches. From June to August everyone in Chester went through scorching hot days with a few periods of relief brought on by cloudiness and rain. Practically every day of the sum- mer you could go for a relaxing day in the afternoon sun to Chester’s pool. But, do not be surprised if half of the Thomas Dale students, as well as faculty members, would already be enjoying the poolside as well as the tennis courts. There were days of enjoyment for everyone. To most people, summer means great trips to the beach.

Vir- ginia Beach, Nags Head, Myrtle Beach and Florida filled up with Chester locals. Students enjoyed their lazy days lying in the cool air-condition, while there were those who just were not satisfied with lying around. Many students attended camps on any- thing from cheerleading, basketball, and marching band to just plain old- fashioned fun camps. While stu- dents enjoyed themselves on the Eu- ropean trips. Mrs. Diebel and her stu- dents enjoyed the sights of France. Everyone’s response from the excit- ing trips were outstanding. Back home in Chester, nights were filled with entertainment. From movies and concerts to night clubs and parties, plenty of entertainment was provided. Going out and enjoy- ing one of the big film hits or just getting together with your close companions was a night full of fun. Already plans are being made for next summer, but the summer of eighty-five is one no one will forget.
