Work and play fill summer days Relaxing, fun, enjoying. These describe the summer of '82 very well. Many different activities kept the students of West High busy this summer. One of the biggest time-consumers was working. I kept busy working, that made it go a lot faster, said Jon Pohl, junior, of his summer. The most popular places to work this summer were in restaurants, especially fast-food joints. Among the most popular were Hardee's and McDonalds. The Mississippi Valley Fair played its ever-important part in the social life of West students. Lisa Yoke, junior, commented on the fair, It was fun because I got to see all my friends. Another annual event in Daven- port is the Bix Beiderbecke Jazz Festival. A few West students combined entertainment with working like senior Tammy Thomas who helped out with the Bix Run. Tammy helped take numbers at the end of the run so the local newspapers could cor- rectly identify the finishers. The Bix and the fair were a favorite place to see friends over the summer. Participating in sports was another favorite pastime of West students. Swimming, ba- seball, and basketball were the favorite summertime sports. A combination of working and relaxing characterized the sum- mer of '82. QXNVV M X- f 'W' a. Summer 15

Getting Cornf When you compare West High School with home, it is easy to determine that West is not near as comfortable. It's filled with drab concrete walls, a few windows, and bare floors. In spite of this, a lot of students have adjusted and found many ways to make themselves right at home. There are many different cus- toms that have been brought up, from the way you sit to the way you decorate your locker. Rest and relaxation are av definite need for the hardworking students, although some of them find the time and place right here in school. It isn't impossible to find a quiet, comfy place to position yourself. Sometimes the hard desks and the cold floors are found to be an adequate place to position yourself. If you're lucky you can even sneak up into the Pub and settle yourself into the cozy little chair in the corner.
