At these camps in Colorado Springs, both squads took home superior rat- ing awards. Athletic camps were very popular over the summer and the students enjoyed leaming and having fun at the same time. Sport camps were not the only camps around last summer. There were camps re- lated to school itself. Srs. Becky Beougher, Jill Carlson, Paulette Garcia, Heather Frost, and teacher Ben Bowen went to New York for a nationwide student council retreat. Becky said, While I was there I leamed how to pro- mote school spiiit and how to make events more fun within the school year. Members of the yearbook staff also went to camp in Califo- nia to learn new ideas for yearbooks. Sr. Michelle Dveirin said, The camp gave us the opportunity to leam what it takes for a great yearbook and it helped us work towards hav- ing the our best yearbook ever. While the trip was primarily for learning, we also toured and went sight-seeing. On the other coast, there Terri Lundin rs. Nicky Barleban, Sephanie Mizke, and Brenda Mercer keep in step as they perform with the pom pon squad The poms, as well as the cheerlead- ers, attended camps in Colorado Springs in July. GIT was a Latin convention held in Florida. Here students got to use their Latin skills and met new people. Sr. Tor Aarestad said, Although Latin conventions seem to be a lot of work, we had a great time. In addition to trips, jobs, and camps, the reservoir was popular. At the 'frez , students got the chance to water ski and get a great tan with their friends. Another popular event was being with friends playing some sport. Each day, students would get their friends together and play until the sun went down. As summer came to an end, students began to dread thoughts of school. One exception was Fr. John Hume. I couldnft wai-t for school to start because it would be a new experience and I would be with all my friends again. Summer's overall essence was summed by Soph. Christy Dean: It just went by too fast. ive us a break! Srs.

AVI GA Students everywhere cursed the clock and calendar on the first day of school, for that signified the conclusion of summer and the beginning of another year in education. Each class had different views on the beginning of the year. To freshmen it meant the end of tyranny in middle school and the beginning of initiations and being the objects of upperc1assmen's pranks. Fr. Kip Siemens said, I was nervous because it was so big and there were so many people. To sophomores the first day meant the end of life as the lowly freshmen. Juniors became upperclassmen, and the seniors finally came to the top after three long years of waiting. During class on the first day , many students thought longingly about the summer. The fun times with friends, sunbtnned skin, and late nights seemed so far off while staring out the window in math class that thoughts turned-to- other more desirable things. To seniors, a finale to the summer was the senior picnic. It provided a last fling during summer, as classes started two days later, on August 31. The picnic had activities ranging from volleyball to frisbee to just plain socializing. People were having a good time getting along with their alumni, said Sr. Lew Mitchell. The week before school began also brought many memories of something not as desirable as a picnic with friends: registration. A new Lori Reece r. Elean Cummings leans over to get her head measured for cap and gown during registra- tion. This was one of the activities exclusive to seniors during registration. group of seniors eye the volleyball near dusk at the Senior Picnic. The picnic was a last chance for fun with friends before 'E school started. 'E B LL system was adopted, and while some suffered the guaranteed snafus, others thought that it made things better. Sr. Paul Jones said, I thought it went smoothly. I thought it was a good system, that it was better than last year. While the first day of school was no picnic either, it did resemble registration in at least one way. The forms were endless, as teacher had students fill out even more for their own records. Fonn-filling aside, students also enjoyed the chance to catch up on summer news with friends and prepare for another year of cursing the clock each moming.
