Since the law declared that teen- agers, along with other children of school age. must go to school nine months out of the year, the tradition has been for students to shed their books around the first of June and forget about them until the end of August. Consequently, during the summer, ex-students looked for fun things to do with their free time. On the list of outside activities, summer just wouldn’t have been complete without a trip to the Dunes. Since bronze skin was the “in” thing, everyone combined sun and fun on the shores of Lake Michigan. Other students combined fun with music as they visited Chicago to hear concerts at Soldier Field and Chicago Stadium. Some of the bands that blew into the windy city for performances included the Ea- gles, the Rolling Stones, and the Electric Light Orchestra. While their friends were hitting the beaches and the concerts, students boarded a plane headed for Eng- land’s Cambridge University. During this chance of a lifetime visit to one of the world’s most revered institu- tions, they studied British literature, history, and art, while at the same time receiving credit from VHS for the equivalent of one nine weeks English course. After they completed their studies, the students visited Stratford, London. Paris, and Geneva befor e they had to return to the United States. Temporarily breaking away from their summer studies at Cambridge University, Pia Hiller, Sara Ramirez, Nancy Oliver, Pat Tudor, Laurie Lemmons, Dan Sturdevant, Anne Gilmore, Roger Dodrill, and Mrs. Vela Johnson enjoy a day at Charles I summer palace, Audley End. Although driving a car is a faster way to get around, Kelley Welch rides her bike in hopes of getting a suntan and some exercise. Summer — 11
