Let The Games Begin o, ' nee again, the students united. Together they strived for the thrill of victory and the honor of their class. The games had begun. The competitions pitted one class against another in a duel to the fin- ish, where all the classes fought as equals. The games gave the fresh- men a chance to prove that they ' re not totally inferior, commented Brian Rhinehart. And the freshmen certainly proved that when Anth- ony Pelletier tied senior Terence Wingo in the pudgy bunny event. Although the games were held throughout the year, competition was emphasized during homecom- ing and winterfest weeks. Events such as the three-legged race and the mummy wrap added enthusi- asm to the week long festivities. When the year ended, the spirit of the competition was still remem- bered by the students. I had a lot of fun and I ' m definitely coming back to compete next year, stated Danny Krone nfeld.

Summer Flies By Again T he adventure started June twen- ty-second. North students woke up in the morning and realized they didn ' t have to go to school. Sum- mer arrived and everyone was at last free! This, however, did not mean boredom. North students shared a varied summer full of ac- tivity and relaxation. I like summer because I get to leave Riverside! explained Emily Elders. For the past six summers I ' ve been going to camp in North- ern California. Summer was a time for new things for other stu- dents. This summer 1 went wa- terskiing, horse back riding, and to Disneyland for the very first time, chuckled Conrad McQueen. It was cool! Summer loafing was also enjoyed. I just bummed around and got a tan, laughed Karen Welker. Sum- mer allowed many to relax, reflect, and recharge for a new year. Summer ended, but it remained un- forgettable. Whether spent in orga- nized activity or just loafing around, summer provided time for everyone to do what they wanted. Discovering the true meaning of being spaced out, Matt Shoaf hovers above the earth. Shoaf went into space this summer at the NASA Space Center in Houston, Texas. 12 studentlife
