Signs of Summer

Previous page: Taking advantage of the warm weather, senior Debbie Goodfreid sunbathes on the roof of her house at 8th and Dunn streets. Students often found creative and inexpensive ways to find entertainment in the summer. Although the landlord prohibited residents from being on the roof with threats of fines, they still used it as the best location to tan. Photo by Matt McClain.

United States 3, the Dynamics, Homunculus, Flattus, Panalopy Academy Glee Club, Cadmium Orange and Uvula were just a few of the bands who showcased their talents. Hundreds of students and Bloomington residents attended the 12th annual show which also featured informational booths giving away free CDs and promotional paraphernalia and private vendors selling their

Opposite page: Just west of Bloomington in Spencer, children cool off in Indiana's first state park, McCormick's Creek. The creek was a popular Picnic and recreational area as the weather warmed in May. Hiking and horseback riding through the woods, spelunking in Wolf Cave or camping by waterfalls were just some of the activities offered at the park. Photo by Dmitry Kiyatkin.
