WHAT VACATIC ? Summer To me, summer was just another job with no pay! bummers Bare skinned, beautiful bronze bodies having fun in the sun the entire summer rarely held true as most students either earned money through jobs or gained experience in school-oriented events at summer camps, none all fun and games. I spent most of my time outside in the heat on our farm, Junior Mike McClure sighed. It really took a lot of hard work, but made the time for pleasure a lot more enjoyable. While a fortunate few stayed home UNDER THE ARCH. Senior Boy's State Delegate Jeff Stephens checks over the State Capitol grounds from his birds-eye view. WATCHFUL EYES. Senior Diane Chamness keeps a watch on swimmers at the city park pool where she lifeguarded as a summer job. er bummers for work, most students ventured out into the community to find summer jobs or work extra hours at ones already existing. During the summer I put in about 20 more hours a week at my job than what I was used to while school was still inf, Senior Steve Croff admitted. But it didn't seem that much different because I still had plenty of time after work to cruise around town or sit out on our cars. But students didn't find all free time outside of jobs open for sheer pleasure. School-related activities in- cluding football, PT's and two-a-days, drill team and cheerleading camps and morning practice, publications ad selling and workshops, boys' and girls' state, governors school, student council conventions and band camp and marching drills all required extra time-without pay. We practiced at the school around six a.m. in order to get ready for competition with other squads at four- day camps, Sophomore Cheerleader Claire Mayville revealed. Three solid months of total relaxa- tion sounded inviting, but most students found summer vacation anything but fun in the sun. V A INEC. . L
