Gail lill- llvlol. A l Summer flew right by and we didn't even catch a glimpse of it. After summer it was back to hot stuffy classrooms, chaotic states of mind, and yes, a new bell system. As we sat in the classroom and saw all of our friends that we hadn't seen all summer and never got around to calling, we had so much to talk about, so much to say. However, being the eloquent, cre- ative, well spoken people that we were, the only thing that we could ever seem to come up with was . . . so, what did you do over the sum- mer vacation? Well, what DID you do?!!! For some, working and trying to get through those summer history and English reading lists was pret- ty intense, not to mention summer school and the scorching hot weather. Band practice and sports conditioning only added to our sedulous, hard work. On the other hand, movies, the mall, and basi- cally bumming around were popu- Anna Sanchez enjoys a relaxing ride along Hua Hin Beach in Thailand. She came to love the serene turquoise ocean.

For others, with the totally cool beach weather, it was like cowabungal Surf's up dude as several beach- goers headed out toward the swells to either surf the unreal waves or just to catch a piece of the sun. For those who prefered solid ground, Pipeline, a popular skateboarding and freestyle biking hangout in Upland, was the hap- pening place to be. However, out of the many, a few people were fortunate enough to travel inter- nationally. Colette Johnson, Chris Lee, and Anna Sanchez were only three of the many summer adventurers. Colette Johnson was able to visit Switzerland. What she liked best was the eternally green landscape and the very different yet inter- esting customs. Although home- sick at times, she said, It was the best two months of my life! Chris Lee spent sensational days and sparkling nights in dazzling Hong Kong. Though a hot and humid city with concrete and metal structures for landscaping, it was truly a funkytown. As he put it, Hong Kong is one of the most diversified cities in the world. It has everything. Anna Sanchez spent a very interesting and touching, learning experience in Thailand. Contrary to what many believe, the city is a very modern one. It is full of wealth, culture, and beautiful structures and landscaping. However, she re- vealed, lt's the people that I fell in love with. They weren't shy, but very friendly and hospitable. For many, the summer had been an exciting and eventful one. Not only was it a learning experience, but it was also a period of growth. Whether you stayed home, worked, or partied all summer long, in the words of Jimmy Thomas, Summer vacation was way too short.
