Ahhh! Summer . . . and the opportunity to trade study carrels for lounge chairs and late night cram sessions for late morning sleep-ins. Of course, few Scotties spent the entire summer recuperating from spring quarter exams; rather, most stretched vacation over a week or two before settling into a job or summer school. Bank telling, life-guarding, scooping up ice cream or tackling Organic — whatever your summer activity, it very probably affected your attitude about your arrival on campus in September.

■• ir ' 1 ir V t ffC ' . On the Road Melodie Johnson, Pam Mynatt and Martha Sheppard joined a group largely composed of Emory under- classmen for a six-week orienta- tion into French culture. Based in Paris, the program offered two classes each day plus field trips into the city, tickets to per- formances at the Come ' die Francaise (France ' s national theatre) and several excursions around northern France. Twenty-one Agnes Scott students toured England and studied Elizabethan Social History under the guidance of Professor and Mrs. Brown. The group toured such places as London, Hever, Dover, Canterbury, Exeter, Oxford, York, and Edinburgh, Scotland. High- lights, besides the museums, cathedrals and palaces, were chas- ing sheep across the moors and swooning over Michael Pennington, who played the title role in Hamlet. Nine Agnes Scott students toured the Great West on the 1980 Desert Biology Trip. The students collect- ed and studied plants and animals native to that habitat and found time to visit Big Bend National Park and Carlsbad Caverns. According to Val Hepburn, they all grew to ap- preciate the wonders of that wide expanse known as the Desert.
