Don'i Get Caught in Town forthe Summer! SUMMER! BEACHES! VACATIONS! Those words are enough to turn your average, ordinary teenager into an ab- normal, radical animal. Summer vaca- tion is usually the one thing that gets most high school students through the rough school year. They do their homework and pass their tests only to be able to hit the beaches on the last day of school. Students finally get their chance to sleep late, stay out until the crack of dawn, and worry about ab- solutely nothing. Senior Carla Graham said, This past summer was great with all of the beach parties, but now I can hardly wait for the end of this school year to get away from Once and Future King. Yes, the seniors are free from having to worry about whether or not they will finish reading the novel on time, while the underclassmen's troubles are just beginning. Although some students would love to have summer vacation forever, others would have it end in a second. Many of them had very busy schedules and would have given anything for one minute's rest. Then, there were the luck students who got to travel around the country side. Pam Myers - 12 said This summer I went to Colorado. I had a great time hiking through the moun- tains and riding horses. Ward Scott - 11 went to the Cayman Islands. I met people from all over the world. When I told them I was from Port Ar- thur I had to explain exactly where It was. Even though you were able to leave Port Arthur it didn't necessarily mean you were able to sit back, relax, and enjoy the scenery. Many high school students worked over the summer. Some of the less for- tunate ones had to work within the city limits while the luckier ones worked out of town. Joe Drago - 11 was one of them. I had a blast over the summer! I went to work at my father's store in San Antonio. The fun part about it was my father wasn't there. The summer didn't go well for every student vacationer. Juanita Vara - 12 said, I went to Padre Island, I had a lot of fun until my car got stuck in the sand and I had to be pushed out. Well. after all the fun and games are GO FOR IT! - Daniel Anderson - 12 is temp- ted to jump into the pool In the 102' weather at the South Fork Ranch outside of Dallas. CANT YOU READ? - Ignoring the sign, Jimmy Meeks - 12 decides to take a plunge into the swimming pool at the Holiday lnn. over from our great relaxing summer vacation, it is time to hit the wonderful classrooms, full of those lively teachers ready to hand out those books and assign those essay papers to write. So, it is time to say good-bye to the carefree life and hello to a brand new school year.
