Variation in Summer Activities Grants Memorable Occasions An unending chain of events characterized the summer of 1968. Members of the business staff began fulfilling their responsibilities early in the summer with the selling of advertise¬ ments to local businesses. Advertisement plays a vital role in the publication of the Tomahawk. For some students, travel was the highlight of the summer season. Several attended out-of-town conferences such as Boys’ and Girls’ State and Wild Acres. Others had the opportunity to travel abroad and tour the major European countries. The community offered a variety of activities to those students who did not travel quite so extensively. Swimming, baseball, and other activities occupied some students while part-time jobs employed others. A summer week-end would not be complete without a visit to Shoney’s. The arrival of our newest tribe member, foreign exchange student Maria Armendariz from Argentina announced the end of summer and the commencement of another school year. During the summer months, painters and repairmen prepare the school for the arrival of students for fall semester. Staff members K. Crocker and V. Hatley talk to Mrs. J. Allison about placing an advertisement in the Tomahawk. Fulfilling duties of the business staff, Lucia Tompkins and Teresa Moore distribute receipts for the annual.
