May Summer l26I27l28I29I30lItstoo short Summer is the time for relaxation for some. For others it is time for relief, for others, work as usual. School continues for some in the form of sum- mer school. Teachers and students meet for five weeks during the summer for students to make up work in certain subjects, or experience a course not offered during the regular year. Many students work during the summer months to earn that needed extra cash. Jobs range from baby- sitting to working for a major newspaper, to stock- ing shelves in a supermarket. For some aspiring students, summer is the time for specialized workshops in areas such as speech, journalism, or athletics. Students spend anywhere from one to four weeks in these workshops, learning and working for a certain goal. Summer is also the time for sporting and social events. Student activities such as Teen Fair, 4-H, and Teen-Dems hold their rallies and activities during the months in which they have no hinderances. Sports such as baseball, golf, tennis, and track hold their seasons during the sum- mer months. All in all, summer is an enjoyable, entertain- ing, and a just plain fun time ofthe year. The problem is, it is all too short. Above: After years of complaints, the administration made arrangements to have the West High parking lot resurtaced over the summer.

Wl li Wl For at least five hours a day, 180 days a year, every student at West leads a special kind of life. Special doesn't necessarily imply that this life is nice or interesting or even strangeg it means only that it is a total way of life uniquely related to West. West High W Students have special ways of makingthings happen every day, determined by the way they think, the way they dress, the way they spend their free time, and a multitude ofother considerations. The daily life at West may not be particularly noticeable to those that live it, but it is there. Day by day, we've made things happen. fx.
