Taking A Break To Play It Cool In The Heat Of The Year 10 fter the last dismissal bell y rings in early June, it seems 4 to send students into a fren- zy knowing summer has fi- nally arrived. Decisions have to be made about daily plans, and for many, work schedules. For most, the answer is easy, just do anything to stay out of the heat. To Jennifer Helton, summer is for spending time with my friends , while Aaron Skubiszewski explained that Summertime is the time of the year for sleeping in late, traveling, and just about anything else you want. It is the time of the year all students love. To some students, the largest event that touched South Bend was the na- tion-wide Hands Across America orga- nization, held in May, 1986. Julie John- son says, It was really a rewarding experience. There was a feeling of Student Life Summer bonding and definite patriotism. It was neat to think of people, from shore to shore, holding hands. From July 5-6, the annual Ethnic Festival brought the welcome smell of Polish sausage, Mexican tacos, and Ital- ian spaghetti to downtown South Bend. One of the features of the first day of the festival, a record-breaking ninety- eight degrees, was the parade, in which the LaSalle Marching Band and Flag Corp. performed a routine that we worked on for many hours. said Flag Corp. member Cindy Hurst. Dore Wal- kowski and Carrie Hold agreed, during one of their lunchtime conversations that, Being part of the band was bor- ing and ridiculous at the parade. We had to wait for over an hour before we marched and to make matters, it was about two thousand degrees outside. Mia Willis disagreed saying It was fun, lots of fun because I was surrounded by my friends and we always had some- thing to see or talk about. Getting out of the heat, Jeremy Por- ter went to the mall and got totally radical. Senior Crawford did something dif- ferent with his break, he slaved as a dining hall manager at a summer camp up in Michigan. In the meantime, Chrissy Lang stayed home and got grounded because I never did anything right, according to my mom. Danny Nowicki went to weight training and ran every day. David Wills summed it up saying This summer was the best ever be- cause of all of my friends, the good times, and the great weather. — Louise Hold

MM You ' re body can ' t stop doing 1 them; once learned never forgotten. Habits, either good or bad, exist. Throughout our lives we ' re constant- ly trying to improve or break our per- sonal habits. Good habits don ' t just happen, they have to be worked at just as hard as breaking bad habits. We all have these tormenting addictions which take their daily routine in our life. Denying this, Tammy Zmyslo per- sists, I really don ' t have any habits. In opposition Tim Buchanon ' s list ex- tends from talking on the phone to mainly, I love to sing. Habits come and go. As we finally break one habit another forms and the process continues.
