Floating on by Alysia Gallihugh Beachin' it, cruisin' town and vaca- tioning at state parks and recreation areas are common summer pastimes for most students. However, the sum- mer of '85 brought new meaning to the word excitement for several lucky people. Lisa West had the unusual experi- ence of attending an Arabic wedding. The bride was a distant relative of West's. Instead of a priest, they had a shiek, described West. At the reception, the wedding party paraded around twice before sitting the sea of down. When it came to the food there was a 25 foot fruit table and four other different tables of food. Gene Jenkins' brand of excitement came in July when his mom bought him a new pig to raise. He gave his pig the name Snorty. His fun was short- lived; however. We just butchered him the other day, said Jenkins. If your ultimate vacation included some sort of travel, then this was your type of vacation. Demetrius Fields went to the Bahamas. It cost him 360 dollars and he went with a senior class from Detroit. The class went to a beach party and to a casino. Keep on runnin'. Running took up a lot of Mr. Kidwell's time as he ran after school and on week- ends to train for a big Marathon in Detroit. Here he runs around the block after school to stay in condition. 16 Su Dun

bring life to old styles Not so appealing to some eyes was paisley which could be found on a few brave souls. This design, which made a comeback from the 70's, bore a strong resemblance to an amoeba. For guys, the coolest part of fashion literally, for cool weather, was coats. From leather, to wool, to denim, these jackets were really flashy. In addition to outerwear, the guys' styles for the year were sweaters and dress shirts, or just the traditional t- shirts, jeans, and those trusty ten- nies. Watches were also big. Whether they were bought at Peasley's or in Eu- rope, these timepieces took a lickin' and kept on tickin'. I got my watch when I was in Lon- don, said freshman Rachel Hernan- dez. There's no numbers on it, so peo- ple always ask me how I tell time. Watches weren't only found on stu- dents wrists. Many students became watch ers when, on Fridays, they sat in front of the TV watching Miami Vice. After watching an hour of Vice, several students enjoyed playing Triv- ial Pursuit which provided hours of entertainment. With the fashion styles regenerating after being out for a number of years; maybe you better think twice before throwing out those bell bottoms and patent leather boots. Time is money!! A big fad was women's watches ranging from Mickey Mouse to Pulsar Quartz at a cost of $5-40. Here, it's all hands watch-ing the clock. Student jCife 15

summer fun Teacher Mike Miller spent his sum- mer constructively building houses. In August he took a little vacation to Ce- dar Point, with his four year old twins and his wife. Building a house was nothing com- pared to taking my twins to Cedar Point ' said Miller, because you don't have to chase two pieces of lumber in two different directions. David Scott tried riding an escalator for the first time in July. It was great. I loved it, said Scott. I rode it up and down about five or six times. I wish I had one at home. If your inner secrets were known, would romance be included in the ulti- mate summer? Fred Kinsey said he found himself a girlfriend at camp. Not everyone had that ultimate once-in-a-lifetime summer. For some it was just run of the mill. Whether your summer was spent cruising the Bahamas or just having that all-around average time, the ex- citement of it was your own thrill of adventure. Ah summer... Patti Marshall spent a lot of time outdoors as she is here, soaking up the sun in her backyard pool. Few people have a pool like she does, made out of a silo. Going up for TWO! Varsity basketball player Ray Austin takes on summer-time ball player, Kelly Vitz, in an intense game of 1-on-l on a hot day at Rock Lake courts. Got one!! Fishing on Rock Lake is a favorite past- time of Harold Franks and Scott Vitz. During their summer vacation, Vitz reels in a big weed instead of a big fish. On the road again. After two hours of basketball practice Nancy Hetherington unwinds by taking a leisurely ride on her bike near her home. Student jCife 17
