Busy Break Savored £jven in Hawaii, one could only ex- pect so much from a waterpolo tourna- ment. But one thing led to another and before they knew it, many waterpolo team members found themselves es- corting contestants for the 1984 Junior Miss America Pageant. Traveling was a popular summer past- time for many people. I like spending my summers in foreign countries, de- clared Jennifer Deal, who toured Greece, Israel, and Egypt. Other stu- dents stayed closer to home. Kelly Lo- veridge, who visited Lake Tahoe, said, We go to Tahoe every summer. It ' s become a family tradition. Not everyone had to leave town in search of summer distractions, howev- er. Summer school at UCR, RCC, or North added and academic touch to many people ' s vacations. It was a good opportunity to get classes out of the way, said Rick Lund, who took a biLiknjy ' -hiss at North that ran until the end of July. It left more room for my schedule this year. While earning credits was one motivat- ing factor for students to stay in town, the desire for money was another. I ' m saving up to pay for my college ex- penses, said senior Becky Blann, who worked in San Bernardino making maps. Added Jack Mares, I worked for my father ' s company in order to go to Hawaii with the waterpolo team. Regardless of where or how students spent their summer — in classes, at work, or in faraway places — summer proved to be enjoyable for most peo- ple. I just hung around, said Shirley Sanematsu. Aj« Sauntering toward the great pyramid at Giza, Jennifer Deal tries to adjust to riding a camel. While in the Mideast, Deal visited many such landmarks. W W- 10 student life

Some students spent their weekends going to concerts. Karl Rimbach, who saw R.E.M. in Pomona, said, G oing to concerts is always a fun way to see your favorite band and keep your mind off school. Although some students spent then tree time at concerts and football games, the major weekend highligli ' was going to parties. I usually go t. one or two parties over the week end, it ' s fun; it keeps my mind off I my homework, stated Monica Wy borny. Parties like Jon Hall ' s attract ed not only students from North, bir other students as well. Likewi::- North students often found them selves at other school ' s parties.
