From the Paper:

"Back in the distant days when summer was the most important time of the year, there seemed to be something very special about the way that time stood still and how every day, whether a Monday, a Wednesday or a Saturday, held new adventures lurking just around the corner. Summer was also the only time that one could escape from the nagging of teachers, the burden of constant homework and the dreary anticipation of having to get up before dawn in order to catch the bus to get to school on time."
