Funnin’ in the sun! Michael Carroll, Christopher Lefebvre, Peter Blais, and Mark Lefebvre welcome a brief respite from summer heat. Something Special To Write Home About Olivia Newton-John may sing all she wants that a, ‘“‘summer fling don’t mean a thing,” but summer still remains a special time for everyone. The first few days bring a heady sensation of being free of homework and studying for a whole two and a half months, but vacation quickly settles in as a reality. Summer brings opportunities not available at any other time of year, such as swimming, sailing, water skiing, sun bathing, biking, and Camping. Part time jobs from life saving or camp couselling to doughnut making or dishwashing gave students the opportunity to view the workday world and earn a little money at the same time. Others attended summer enrichment courses in area high schools and colleges. Cape Cod, Maine, New Hampshire and Newport were the most popular summer vacation retreats. New England beaches offered recreation although the gas shortage kept many of us close to home. There were those, however, who weren't as limited by a low gas tank. These lucky individuals travelled across the United States and even Canada, visiting many fun and exciting places. Ben and Amie Hodgkins, and their parents, made a month long trek to Alberta, Canada. Hauling their Camping trailer over 4000 miles and seven states, the Hodgkins visited Niagra Falls, the Great Lakes, and Yellowstone National Park on the way. Amie, who loves the mountains, simply enjoyed the beautiful Canadian landscape. They say a picture paints a thousand words; if that’s the case, Amie has over 100,000 words in her photo album. Check it out sometime. Robin Castagnola, on the other hand, has different kinds of souvenirs. Last July, Robin’s journey spanned our whole continent when she visited Hollywood, California. There, she took a tour of Universal Studios, which included an encounter with a shark, son of Jaws, and a full-sized avalanche, complete with car-sized rubber boulders. Fun as this was, Robin feels that the highlight of her trip was seeing a taping of the television show, ‘‘Taxi.”’ Afterwards, she met its stars, and even has the autographs to prove it! Other students devoted their time and energy to the needy. Paula Monahan, a junior, was a volunteer Counselor at Camp Easter Seal in New Durham, New Hampshire. During its two month session, she coached retarded children in swimming, hiking, and other recreational activities. Paula feels that it was a very rewarding experience. On a similar note, Ann Riley worked at Wrentham State Hospital as a volunteer. Her job consisted mainly of bringing the youngsters to church, playing games, and planning special activities such as cookouts. Ann believes that her time has been well spent and satisfying. Tom Hunt had a splashing summer! He spent his vacation at the beach as a lifeguard, working two months almost every day at Martin, and Sister Mary Enda relax at John Carroll University now that their book has gone to press.
