When School is Out... WHAT THEN? - Vern L Farrow - April 1970

Vern L Farrow

Tens of thousands of teen-agers - facing summer vacation with nothing to do - will soon spill onto city streets. The vast majority will waste three months. All too many will end up in trouble. Are YOU a teen-ager? Why not make YOUR summer vacation payoff? Not many years ago most communities looked forward to summer vacation. The picture of a barefoot lad wending his way to the fishing hole was still a common and cherished sight. Summer was pleasant and there was plenty to do. Oh, the kids might get under foot a little before September rolled around, but they weren't any real trouble. Yes, for those of us over thirty, looking back on the last day of school in May or June usually brings nostalgic remembrances. Summers were just as long and hot then, but not in the way we think of those terms today. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
