D lummertchool: The shades of summerschoo by Jenny Jeffries hen most students think of go- ing to summer school, they think of three carefree months in a relaxed atmosphere, endless parties during hot summer nights and plenty of time soaking up the sun. To some, however, the realities of summer school turned out differently than they expected. Barb Ryan, junior, said she had little time after working at a part-time job and doing homework every night. By the time she finished what she had to do there was no time to go to the lake or anywhere else. Boredom was a problem for Jan Parker, junior, who did not work and expected more activities during the summer. llln the regular semester you can put homework off without too many problems. With classes every day, there was homework every night? Mark Morrissey, junior, like many students, had to work long hours in addition to attending classes so he could pay for tuition and fees. Morrissey said, llI would definitely do it again to get some classes out of the way. During regular semesters itls not that big of a burden to drop a rough class if you,ve got those extra hours to lean back on. On the other hand, Corie Kidd, junior, who had to work 40 hours a week, said she would not go back unless it was necessary for her to graduate. She thought it was too much of a grind to work until midnight and then have to get up for 8 a.m. classes. Scott Zajac, sophomore, complained about classes that lasted two hours every day. They tended to be boring, he said. tilt was harder than I expected and the teachers tried to cover all the material for 18 weeks in five weeks, instead of just skimming over it, which made school much too rushed? Despite these problems, Zajac plans to take classes again next summer, although he said he would only go for one session -1 6 Summer-difficultr because he needed a summer break. Morrissey also said he missed having a summer break. He felt the three weeks between the end of spring semester and the first summer session were not long enough to get much accomplished. Unlike most people, Morrissey thought classes were easier because the tests were closer together. Deep thought ... One of the students partic- ipating in the week-Iong non-denominationaI Christ in Youth Conference, coordinated by junior Susan Herr, medita tes during a two hour morning session. Although no college credit was given, more than 700 high school students were involved in the OkIahoma-based encounter group. That made it easier to remember infor- mation, he said. The part of summer school he disliked most was the large amount of reading that was assigned. In spite of the drawbacks, many Stu- dents chose to pick up classes in the summer and put up with the academic and financial pressure, the heat and the boredom of college life in the summerIGD Lazy daze a While waiting for the outdoor movie The Eyes of Laura Marsh to begin, Brenda Emberton, Brenda Frederick, Renee Hoening, Debbie Lindeom and Bi11 Gaonrd 1aze around i Red Barn Park.
