The fishing industry is a very important one in the state. Throwing this cast net. Greg Zgol feeds his family and is able to build better arm muscles than when he is lifting weights in P.E. III! Rusty Carson has been known to be a little camera shy. but we've got him here as he tries to walk away, dark shades disguising his true identity.

KiMutg Time, I wonder if things could get any more boring than this?! sighed a television news reporter at the be- ginning of an August broadcast. The statement seemed to sum up the idea that a lot of people had about the summer of 1987. there were no Statue of Liberty Centennials, no gi- ant concert events to aid famine vic- tims, no Summer Olympics, not even a single Space Shuttle flight! But despite such flaws, Wando stu- dents tried their best to make that summer a memorable one. Wan- doers were everywhere in '87. If they weren’t working, they were kill- ing time in some less stressful way. When asked how she spent her sum- mer, Tammy Burns replied, “Shop- ping, shopping, and more shopping! As far as athletics went, Wando team members worked out over the summer months. Cross country run- ners met at school in the mornings and evenings. Football players lifted weights every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday in the gym, and volleyball girls began their practice each morning at the unholy hour of 8 a.m. The summer just flew by too quickly! In June there were three long months to kill, but by August, June seemed as if it were only yes- terday. Summer was over, and the dawn of yet another new school year was upon us. Shawn Slater Leslie Kizer. Scott Scogin doesn't look very eager to go hydrosliding again, after this spill in the Wando River near the site of construction on the new Mark Clark Bridge. Hitting the Beach On any hot summer day (and there were plenty of those), you could always find Wando students soaking up the sun at one of the area beaches: Isle of Palms, Sullivan's Is- land, Folly, or Myrtle Beach. Laura Lamb and Missy Williams spent a lot of their time on the beach, and both agreed that it was always a great feeling to go back to school with a tan. Brandon Butler, who vacationed in Texas for most of the summer, returned home in enough time to catch the last little bit of sun. He said he liked just going to the beach with his friends and crashing some waves. With Labor Day Weekend, 1987, having been rained out at the last minute, the beaches lay dormant for another winter, waiting for May of '88 and yet another onslaught of avid beach-goers. Shawn Slater The beaches are fun for swimming and volley- ball: but as Hayley Anderson realizes, they're also great spots to work on her tan with friends Joey Tripp and Pilar Ritchie It looks as if some guy has caught the eye of this girl. But the real question is which girl is Shannon Smith, and which is her twin sister Jennifer ? SUMMER

Tk Wkd h!o M To drive. Perhaps the single most important goal of every teenager's life! Driving represents maturity, a move toward adulthood, and inde- pendence from our parents. It's a very exciting moment when you are finally old enough to drive a car (or at least legally, anyway)! Tension builds as that fifteenth birthday draws nearer. You study for weeks on end in order to take the written test. Fifteen days later, you suffer through the grueling road test. Then, your permit, followed soon afterward by a ... yes ... a restricted license (though many of us know extremely well that the 6a.m. to 6p.m. rule was not always adhered to)! And, finally, one year later, at the age of sixteen, you get it ... your driver's license! The main word in your vocabulary becomes crooozing : cruising the beaches, trips to Myrtle Beach and Carowinds, real dates, and just spin- ning (or speeding) around town. And then what? As we all too quickly realized, our wallets, savings, and checking accounts began to spring large leaks. With car pay- ments, upkeep, insurance, gas, and annual inspections, driving became a very expensive pasttime. The ex- penses seemed to come faster than the money with which to cover them. Things got desperate, and eventually ... you popped the ques- tion: Mom, I had this little run-in with a ditch this afternoon! Do you think you could spare about $65 for towing and another hundred or so for minor body work? It had finally happened ... a return, to depen- dence upon your parents! How could this be happening?! Where does it all end?! Nowhere, my friends. Wel- come to the wheel world! Shawn Slater This classic Mustang is a beauty in red today, thanks to the patient care and work given it by David Noll This sporty car has become his pride and joy! What do you mean OUT OF GAS'?!'' de- mands Marc Sullivan of Todd Blaire. Stu- dents don't always consider little things like upkeep or having to buy gas! Transportation
