 IK Ninety Summer — the word itself conjures up thoughts of vacations, leisure time, and new ex- periences. Students explored new angles this summer by doing traditional summer activities in not so traditional ways. Summer camps, as American as apple pie, were one example. Mod- ern campers went to the beaches of Santa Cruz, California or to the mountains of Flagstaff rather than “Camp Hiawatha”. Usual camp ac- tivities like canoeing and crafts were replaced by workshops that taught leadership, journalism, athletics, and peer relationship skills. Like many students, seniors Lisa Covey and Brandi Martinez attended summer school, only their classes were at Georgetown University in Washington D.C. There they took a three week prestigious national officials as Vice President George Bush and Secretary of State George Schultz. The customary summer vacation received a new twist for seven students and Mr. Merlene when they took a four week tour throughout Europe visiting six countries and taking in such sights as the Eiffel Tower; the Swiss Alps, and the Roman Coliseum. Some students had working vacations at summer camps and resorts, where they lived away from home. These unique experiences proved that students weren’t afraid to try a different angle in pursuit of new experiences. Design by Ashley Biebel.
