Although students daily lives contained a constant bombardment of pressures and aggrevations, such as having four tests on one day, leaving their government book at home, seeing the clock read 7:52 when they awakened, or having a flat tire on the way home from school, there came a time when they put all this out of mind, and just sat back and . . .

LET THE FUN BEGIN Outside of school hours, one didn’t have to look hard to find students having a great time. During summer vacation months, students enjoyed the blissful state of having no homework, reports, journals, or precis due, and no tests. Stu- dents took trips to vacation spots such as Heber Springs, to camps, and to summer schools. In June. Festival ‘81 provided a day of events, exhibits, and con- tests for a large crowd. Sports such as golfing, swimming, ten- nis and baseball kept many stu- dents active. Village Creek State Park was a popular spot for pic- nickers. After August 21st, students waited until after school to un- leash their pent up energy. They headed to the Sonic for a bite to eat, went home to catch an episode of “General Hospital,” or got up a game of basektball or touch football with friends. Senior Rose Ann Clayton commented, “Usually I finish homework and then try to get some exercise through things like tennis or riding bikes. When I’m not in the mood for those things. I’ll just visit friends.” Most students lived for the weekend. When the weekend was officially brought in at 5:00 on Friday afternoon on ROCK 103, the party began. The weekend was a time to indulge in pleasures. Students might witness a Jacket victory, devour a pan pizza at the Pizza Hut, or just ride around town with friends. Sometimes students got together to watch a good movie on HBO. But when the desire for something more current hit them, students took their dates to Memphis, Jonesboro, or For- rest City to see Stripes,” “Ar- thur,” “Endless Love,” “Only when I Laugh,” or one of the others. When concerts came to Memphis, WHS’ers were there to hear Foreigner, Van Halen, Styx, and Tom Petty. On Satur- days, Razorback fans traveled to Little Rock or Fayetteville to see the Hogs in action. When the hunting seasons ar- rived, people took to the woods and fields to stalk the game of the season. “I love to spend my time out amongst nature and in the midst of the woods, studying animals in their natural habi- tats,” remarked teacher Mr. El- bert Person. Camping and canoeing contented outdoors persons. For most students, the fun times they had together were what made the year great. Be- cause all throughout the year, whether they were out with friends or just relaxing at home, Wynne students were letting the good times roll! Atari, an interesting video game, takes up much of Karen Diggs’ and Cara Kay Moery’s spare time. 10 Fun
