Doesn’t mind going back to school. The eight-year-old youngster, who lives at 26 East St., says she has as much fun at school as she does during vacation. This summer she put in a lot of time roller skating and swimming. She hasn’t gone to the movies much, she said, because the weather’s been too nice. She enters the third grade in West Street School.
