Hohlfeld n matter ofdegreer it is June. But instead of taking off for a vacation, you are going back to school for the summer vacation. What if you are married and do not live in Kirksville? When Max Nunn of St. Charles came to work on his degree, his wife and his 16-year-old son stayed at home. He said, thy son went to summer school, and later they went to Visit her W S. Borders : a 10b ball to a Whiffle ball nd Campbell d the games 2 classes, Yelverton said. ttBut it was hard on her, taking 5; classes and taking care of the kids? 3 The Yelvertons as well as Frank and Kathy Berlin of n1 folks in Texas. Nunn attended both summer sessions and was away frbm home almost 10 weeks. It is not unusual for the Nunns to be apart during the summer, Mrs. Nunn said. tiOne summer, I went to school and he went to visit his family in Oklahoma. In fact, contact between the Nunns was minimal. tlSheis not much of a hand to write? he said. itIf she wants to contact someone, she calls them. And I didnt have much time to write? However, one weekend during the summer, Mrs. Nunn and Joshua, their son, came up to visit. iTve met and studied with some very interesting peoplefh Nunn said in reference to the Education Division staff. tII have really, really gained a lot of knowledge from working with these people. Theylre very exciting to work with? Byron Yelverton of Louisiana tMoJ also brought his family to Kirksville with him. His wife and two young daughters lived in the University- owned Campbell Apartments. II just don,t think that shed be as happy if I were away a week at a time, and I know the kids wouldnht bef, Yelverton said. uI know I wouldnt be. Pd just hate to be up here and be away from her and the kids? In 1979, Mrs. Yelverton accompanied her husband, but did not take classes because she was pregnant with their youngest child. Last summer, she took Psychology of the Exceptional Child in order to qualify for renewal of her teaching certificate. iiI needed the course anyway, so we decided we both might as well go to school, Mrs. Yelverton said. tilts obviously a good opportunity for her to take Brunswick, who also lived in Kirksville during the summer, went home on weekends to pick up the mail and mow the lawn. Each family lived 120 miles from Kirksville. The choice of Kirksville living was determined for the Berlins not only by the cost of gas, but by Mrs. Berlinls summer job in Kirksville. Being close to campus was also an asset. tiWe spent a lot of time in the library? Berlin said. Being close to campus was not important for Deanna Dunn of Memphis. Since she only lived a half-hour away, she sometimes postponed her trip home by stopping at the library. Mrs. Dunn felt her studies benefited from her home life. uI can study better if I come home and do some things and then study? The cost of gas, her light course load and her family tied her to her home. til never even thought about living over there tKirksvillel. All the times that Iive gone to summer school, its really never upset the pattern here at home? Mrs. Dunn said. Whether its separating for a period of weeks, changing locations or driving back and forth, married summer students find ways to cope with the temporary lifestyle they have chosenIG-D Small fries e- The Hot Dogs play the Buns in a game in front of Fair Apartments.
