— Dad, can I borrow the car tonight? The car was always the first choice, at least when dad didn't have it. Other ways the students got around dur- ing summer were by riding bikes, skateboards, and just walking. Whatever way they went, students looked for more than transportation; they looked for a way to have fun. OOPS! THERE'S A CURB Sue Mustang What did you do to earn money over summer?

Summer camps didn't always mean a break from studies. Leddership. yearbook, sports, and band camps provided students with the exper- ience that made the tran- sition to the next year smoother. Unfortunately students had to give up free time since their school started much earli- er. With each year school seemed longer, the weeks went slower, and day after day dragged on ond on.

Tradition, a word fa- miliar to every school, was held sacred during spirit week. All through spirit week traditions were continued and made. For the last six years these traditions had brought the larg- est competition of the year: blue verses silver. The fun began after the school had been split into its respective teams. The week consisted of dress-up days, lunch- time activities, and a carnival. There were the traditional toga and nerd days but lunchtime took a step away from tradition with the Pepsi sip-a-lit- tle. The week ended on beach day which celebrated the theme Where's the Beach. Both teams came to- gether to play volley- ball on the three tons of sand that was brought in especially for the stu- dents. After school many students went to the newest spirit week tradition—the carnival. The week-long carni- val got most of its at- tendance on Friday after school as stu- dents prepared for the luau. There they danced to the Beach Boys as well as modern hits, all while thinking about the best spirit week ever. FUN-N-GAMES Playing in a sand box is not just to ittle kids as Joel Namie and Sean Barnard discover on nerd day. After a year of homework and tests students rejoiced for the last day of school. For the underclass this was just another last day, but for seniors it was the last of their high school years and the start of an indepen- dent lifestyle. Many seniors moved away to college which was the start of their in- creased responsibility. This included their own place, paying for rent, a full time job. as well as college life.
