u m Once school began in the fall, a cycling rage hit the students. Masses of ten-speed bikes were speeding along the roads and through the parks. For the majority of students, the bicycle was more than a play toy”; it varied from being a hobby to providing transportation and exer- cise. With the invasion of cyclists in the area, riding areas were provided in Mariner ' s Museum, the city park, along the James River, and throughout his- toric Williamsburg. Filling their vacation with activities such as surfing, swimming, or play- ing tennis, students leisure- ly took advantage of their summer holidays. Others spent their time at home, at a job, or attending summer school. Tugging on the sheet, junior Bill Cofer hikes out over the side of the sailboat to equalize the wind pressure with his weight. Bill has held the title of National Junior Champion in the Sailfish division since 1970.

Students had to adjust their interests back to books and homework after returning from summer vacation. 12
