Senior Steve Erickson relaxes for a moment before continuing his work at JMU ' s workshop. As the halls filled yet again tor a new school year, and the rustling of new loose-leaf paper, the crashing of slamming lockers, and the whishing of new, disoriented students rushing to find classes became, once more, familiar sounds to the still summer-struck students, the most prominent sound was the buzzing of students conversing on what had happened over the summer. The buzzing was particularly bold because the past summer had been a very exc iti ng ex¬ hilarating one for all the students. Among the high¬ lights of the summer were trips ranging from New York to California. A long train of concerts at Chrysler Hall, Bessie ' s Boat¬ house, the Nor¬ folk Scope and the Hampton Coliseum made for even more good times. Vacation¬ ing students rocked with the music of the Ramones, Squeeze, The Power Station, The Fresh Festival, John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band, Bryan Adams, Robert Plant, Paul Young, Frankie Beverly and Maze, and Luther Van Dross. Many students had jobs which made their summer exciting. Some worked at Vancostas, God¬ father ' s and Mil- ton ' s pizza parlors, or at Burger King, McDonalds, Wendy ' s, Chi Chi ' s, and Phil ' s Seafood Kitchen.
