With tougher standards aimed towards education, students were forced to focus more attention on studies and less on social life. But students still found time to do those things that made high school life fun. Working at part-time jobs, attending amusement and water parks and going to parties were just sane of the things people did to entertain themselves during the summer. Upon returning to Skyline, students were faced with harsh reality. Homework, tests and a new grading system were some of the facts they had to confront. Readjusting to these new changes did not stop students from continuing to express the pride and spirit that is a tradition at Skyline. Pep assemblies were still held before school, but attending students became so boisterous that principals threatened to end pep assemblies if the chaos continued. Among these different changes was also a change in the style students had. Individuality was the basis of the trends as students wore anything ter's fine! That's what from paisley to combat boots.

Lockers slammed for the last time, echoing emptily as the newly-freed inmates es- caped into the already hot out-of-doors, thoughts of Six Flags and White Water in their heads. They looked forward to finding ways to beat the heat and have some fun. Vacations away from home were a welcomed change and helped in making summer even more exciting. 1 vacationed in Los Angeles. 1 visited Disneyland Univer- sal Studios and the Wax Museum. You name it and 1 did it,” said junior Ricky Martinez. Water parks and local pools provided another form of escaping the heat. White Water and Six Flags were among the places to escape when the heat was unbeara- ble. “1 spent my whole sum- mer at White Water,” said freshman Kecia Adams. Un- like Adams, many prefered the thrills and hills of the Shockwave to the roaring tides of the wave pool. As sophomore Margaret Ridge attested, Six Flags was my home away from home.” But not all were as fortu- nate. The unlucky ones were fnimr The streets of D.C.

Watching anything from reruns to soaps helped to beat boredom. B-R-R-R-R-l-N-G The same clamor that announced the beginning, signaled the end of summer and the resumption of the old routine.
