In June students set their reading lists aside to Take a Break (continued from page 8) Rock, Pennsylvania. There they spent six days of practice, instruction, and recreation. Senior Barb Wallenhorst, staying a little closer to home, attended a volleyball camp at Fairview High School. At the camp, which was run by Cleveland State University, Barb learned updated blocking strategies. Weeks before sum¬ mer came to a close, the school doors were opened to athletes trying out for fall sports. Tennis and volleyball players, as well as cross country runners, gathered on August 15 for conditioning and the selection of team members. Right behind the athletes were the members of the newly-formed liturgical ministers group. They came to school August 21 for training in various areas of preparation and presentation of school masses. Twenty-five students were commissioned that day in types of ministry ranging from reading to mime. While players and ministers were back to school, other students took family vacations and made their annual visits to Cedar Point. And of course, it just wouldn’t have been summer without the Blossom concerts. The Music Center’s major attraction for many students in 1983 was Neil Young. The postponement of his concert to September 6, although initially disappointing, served to make the summer last just a little longer. Southside Johnny, performing at Blossom, had considerable com¬ petition from the historic reunion of Simon and Garfunkel at the Akron Rubber Bowl the same night. And as David Bowie appeared on the cover of Time and The Police’s Every Breath You Take swept the country as the song of the summer, Hurricane Alicia swept Galveston Is¬ land, Texas. And then September 2nd arrived, the first full day of school for all 1027 students of Magnificat. Some of them read in the Plain Dealer about 269 people who died the day be¬ fore when the Soviet Union shot down Korean Airline Flight 007. Some of them read a book from that summer reading list.lM —Anne Sheridan SUMMER 11

Gazing at the facade of the National Shrine, juniors Patricia Lynch, Ann Mullen, and Yolanda Lawas share their hypotheses on its design. They found that what seemed at first to be hieroglyphics repre¬ sented prophets of the Old Testament and the twelve ap ostles. Photo by Dawn Tarka. While touring the Lee Mansion, junior Mary Pat Masterson becomes entranced by a grandfather clock in the upstairs hallway. The time piece did not, however, catch the attention of Sr. Joanne Gardner and senior Anne Forristal. Photo by Dawn Tarka. 12 WASHINGTON, D.C. TRIP
