The June 2024 issue dropped. Get your hands on one here.
The last day of school is like a bundle of energy waiting to explode with the ring of that last screeching bell. With that long buzz ringing through the halls comes the promise of long days and nights, sleep ins, beach time, pool time, ocean time, and so much more. From walking Asbury ’til dark, to swinging on the playground swings while the sun heats your skin, Summer is everything. And so is our June 2024 issue.
I remember turning up Alice Cooper, rolling the windows down, and driving toward freedom (or 7th Street in Ocean City as it were) after school let out for the year. Learning was out, summer job on the Boardwalk was in, and a couple months of hot fun in the sun awaited. These days the lure of summer reels me in just the same. And summer in and around Ocean City is legendary. So ring that bell… here we gooooo!
First, congratulations to the class of 2024! It’s an amazing achievement to throw that cap into the air, sending up props for the four years of hard work it took to receive that diploma. Flip to page 52 to reflect along with seniors Alexis Allegretto, Jackson Barnes, Kristiana Bauer, Bridget Breeden and Erin Cantwell on their time at Ocean City High School.
