This is the week veryone prepared for all year, and we time has come, whether it's to 'ort Aransas, Padre Island, or just taying in town. Port A is one of the hottest laces for high school and college Port A, now only o memory students. Many of the students went with friends, a brother or sister, or relatives to stay in con- dos, motels, houses, or just rough it on the beach. Most of the time ,U Qf. was spent on the beach, meeting people, getting a suntan, riding around in a truck or a 3-wheeler, while some went to eat at Whataburger or shop around for a souvenir. After that, it was time to head back to the room, shower, eat and hit the beach, spending the whole night there mixing and mingling with people, and staying up all night long. Too soon, another day has ended, but another one had already begun. Down at Port A, Robert Escobar and Angie Wernli are part of the fun time. iPhoto by Haydeny SJ suntan is a must during Spring Break for Jhn Wagenfehr, Mark Hayden, and renda Garcia. iPhoto by Haydenj While taps go through John Wagenfehr's head, he can yell PARTY!! iPhoto by Haydenj Page by Brenda Garcia!23
