FUN NUT I THE s the summer drew near, most students were thinking about escaping into worlds of their own - onto the beaches, into pools, and away on vacations. As hard as it may be to believe, some students actually chose to attend week after week of grueling summer school. Although students were united in attending summer school, their reasons for taking additional schooling var- ied quite a bit. Some students chose to at- tend summer school in order to have more space in their schedule for the following year, while still others attended summer school to re-take classes that they previously failed. Since CV offered only a limited number of courses, many CV students were forced to take classes at other schools. Sophomore Paul Kim attended a nine week impacted Chemistry course at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. He stated, lt was a true learning experience for me. l learned a lot and, at the same time, it was fun. Another sophomore, Peter Kim, attended summer school at Webb School in Claremont, taking one month of various English classes. He resided at the school for a straight month, attended classes Mondays through Saturdays, and returned home only on Sundays. Peter said, lt was hard work but l think it was worth it because l don't have to take those classes for a whole year! Those students who chose to take sum- mer school at CV did so, according to junior Luke van Hengel, because it was conve- nient since it was so close to home. There was never a problem with getting a ride home. Overall, summer school proved to be a helpful and learning experience for many students. Although the students had to give up many pleasures and luxuries of sum- mer, such as sleeping in and going to the beach, it was, according to senior Liza Melconian, a good way to finish off a hard class in a short six weeks! by Angela Lee Ill' , Summer School urry - we've only got twenty min- utes! For those students who do not leave campus during the short break, they spend half of the twenty-minutes snack period standing in long lines under the hot summer sun.
