Students ' Summer Sagos Summer is every student ' s rime of resr — in theory. However, few srudenrs spend all three monrhs completely idle. There ore trips with families, friends, or oil alone. There are rrips to unique places, exotic places, and common places. Some students learn in the summer while others earn. These three monrhs are rhe student ' s months, personalized ro meer rhe desires of each individual. One group of srudenrs spent their summer in rhe Dominican Republic and Haiti. If you like huge spiders, weird smells, hor and sticky wearher, rhen you would have liked rhe rrip rhar Karhy Hursh, Shelley Glenn, and Terri Carnahan rook rhis summer.

Shirts A Great Way To Express Yourself Everybody ' s getting inro T-shirrs rhese days. Ir ' s a new craze. You see rhem everywhere. They soy everything from friendly quotes ro funny quips. Some con even ger rhe poinr across without any words. Many rimes a simple picture speaks eloquently. Shops specializing in T-shirts have sprung up and are flourishing throughout the nation. In cities from Tampa, Florida, to Denver, Colorado, a person can buy tourist shirts, humorous shirrs, and shirts for expressing one ' s innermost feelings. T-shirts ore more than just fun to wear. Some have real purpose. People display pride and patriotism for a high school or favorite college. They advertise their fa- vorite restaurant, their favorite radio sta- tion, their favorite beer, and their favor- ire athlete. Social issues are publicized through T-shirrs. Polirical candidates, un- popular ayarollahs, and contemptible oil companies can be built up or torn down with quotes like To @ $(t! With Shell. T-shirrs can tell of a person ' s favorite hobbies or of a membership with some really wild groups and reams. A T-shirr can also be a trip ' s mosr memorable souvenir. Somerimes it can be a gift sou- venir like Mom and Dad went to Las Vegas and all I got was this crummy T- shirr ! People love to let the whole world know their deepest feelings. Macho men boast masculine titles such as Italian Stal- lion. Adorable pictures portray rhe wearer ' s cuddliness or cureness, like that of a Mickey Mouse lover. A T-shirr can even ask for a little affection or Tender Lovin ' Care. Ir ' s for everyone! Even Mr. Sreinhouset gets into a T-shirr which ex- hibits words of wisdom. On page 60 he models a T-shirr that really expresses what he is all about. » -gg — Laura Sammeringer

Lasr summer I rook parr in rhe Indiana University Honors Program in Foreign Languages, spending seven weeks in Son Luis Pofosi, Mexico. A progression of Spanish resting, interviewing, and fill- ing our quesrionnaires was complered before I was selected as one of rhirry high school srudenrs rhroughour Indiana ro go ro Mexico. I srudied Spanish and lived with a Mexican family. This pro- gram is unique because of irs main rule: No English. San Luis is an average size ciry of 400,000 people, rhar has rerained many customs we ' d think of as rypical Mexi- can. It has managed to avoid extreme Americanizarion. Public buses (sardine cans on wheels) provide rhe majority of transporrarion, families are very close, you have ro speak Spanish ro ger along (unlike Acapulco or Mexico Ciry), and rhere aren ' r any McDonald ' s or Pizza Hurs. Travelling wirh my family, I was forru- nare enough ro see a lor of Mexico, rhe Gulf Coast, numerous crysral-clear rivers and waterfalls. In addition, our group of 00 students took three excursions, rhe final one being a trip ro Mexico Ciry where we spenr our lasr four days. — Jenny Herendeen (Front row): Kyle Novak, Scorr Novak, Rod Gaul, Brenr Novak, Chris Kelley, Laura Dusche, Mrs Julie Manger, Mrs Lynn Marquardr, Derh Dridges, Mrs Judy Novak, Dloke Novak. (2nd row): Mr. Wayne Gillerr, Mr Stephen Gaber, Scorr Overholr, Lisa Pursley, Laura Sammeringer, Carrie Roberson, Karen Huguenard, Michelle Miller, Rene Casroror, Mr Gary Novak (Dock row): Dob Deck, Curris Durler, Chris McCoy, Scorr Garside, Mrs Maraa Gaber, Kevin Pocock, Druce Hill, Mark Chaney, Deb Dryan, Sandy Opliger, Mrs Parricia Gillerr Colorado welcomed 24 Leo srudenrs and their 8 adulr sponsors ro rhe peaks of rocky mountains and to the heights of sandy mounds. It was three weeks of camping our and living wirh nature. Some of rhe natural beaury included waking up ro see Pike ' s Peak, hiking up and down mountains of sand and stone, horseback riding rhrough rhe Garden of rhe Gods, and swimming in a mounrain srream. Other close encounrers wirh na- ture were rhe ticks, the leeches and the bear. Although if was only one adven- turesome hiking group who saw rhe bear, all rhe campers were plagued by an occasional rainy and cold nighr. The venrures away from narure in- cluded a rour rhrough Coors Brewery, a day at Eliches ' Amusement Park, and an evening ar La Cosa Donira Resrauranr. Another unnarural experience was rhe 32 bodies packed inro two moror homes. The excursion made rhe sum- mer special for rhe campers, bur it also made rhem rhankful for rhe comforrs of home. k l — Laura Sammeringer MW
