Je d W ' Record-breaking temperatures warm students back to class WAIT YOUR TURN With yearbook in hand, junior Rebecca Ribble dis- tributes the 1988 Paragon “Caught Red Handed to juniors Heather Piniak and Amy Tobias. On Aug. 19, students crowded the cafe- teria to chat with their friends and finger through the new yearbooks. “I can ' t believe its happening again. “I know another 36 more weeks of school. “It seems like summer just started and now its over. “What did you do over summer?” Replies varied from “I just went on a family vacation and hung around with my friends to “I went to summer school and worked at Dairy Queen. Whatever the re- sponse students found ways to occupy the summer break. Among the many options, tradi- tional family vacations allowed students to get away from it all and relax in a different environment. “ Sitting on the yacht in San Diego right before the sun goes down, looking out on the palm trees was the most relaxing spot I will ever find, said junior Leslie Darrow. But not all students traveled during the summer. For some, school and Jobs filled their days. “Working at Munster Pool gave me something to do with my spare time, said junior Brian Mohr. “I also got to make new friends and practice my swimming. Activities from stuffing one’s face at the Taste of Chicago to short sheeting a room mate at Cheerlead- ing camp allowed students to put the 100 degree July heat in the background. “Since I have a hectic summer schedule, I like to take a break and go to Chicago with my friends and eat in the variety of food at the various festivals. said junior Alison Glendening. Although juniors and seniors had access to more activities be- cause they could drive, freshmen and sophomores sought alternate means to relax during the summer break. Renting movies, swimming at Munster pool, bike riding, and playing baseball with the guys at the park substituted for those scenes out of walking or moped distances. As Aug. 29 drew near, more school orientated activities such as football games and yearbook distri- bution filled disappearing summer hours. “I feel the yearbook signing party allowed me to see people I haven’t seen all summer, which gets me back into the swing of things. ’’ said senior Brendon Sheehy. When September peered around the comer, students pigeonholed their summer plans of laying on the beach or watching soap operas. They looked back on their summers and discovered that they proved to be educational as well as enjoyable.
