summer Lifeguard Nan Jefchak keeps a watchful eye on beachcombers as she gets a great tan in the bright summer sun. Vacation ... Summer. .. fun! Oh, the warm idle hours of sweet summer mean many moments of relaxation, pleasure, and freedom. When the 3:15 bell rang on June 2, 1978, students raced down the stairs and out those huge steel doors into three months of summer fun. Girls clad in bikinis soon began spending their afternoon hours at Whiting Beach, secretly competing for the darkest tans. Involved in summer sports, guys spent many long hours practicing, playing, and sweating in the unbea- rable 90's of July, 1978. Other students' summers were spent in school. Fifty students learned to drive (or at least tried to) in the Driver's Education classes of- fered at school while other students made up lost credits from the past school year. As many wise students got summer jobs and earned precious money, lucky students vacationed in various cities and states. At night, students would be seen standing uptown on the school corner talking and having fun. Hungry teens would be found at McDonald's nib- bling on french fries and sipping chocolate shakes. During the Fourth of July celebration, evening hours were spent at the Whiting Park Carnival. Oh, those fun summer days! Quick licks are required to eat a sno-cone before the heat melts it. 3
