Upon the return of the school year, all agreed that the summer season had passed like a bullet entering the flesh, swift, but leaving a lasting impression. Summer meant an excursion to Rome for twenty classical minded Ignatians which left them with fond memories of a rewarding experience. The Ignatian staff enjoyed the final week of )une at a five day workshop held at Ohio University in Athens. Ohio. The workshop provided the editors with an opportunity to both bettor their yearbook skills and also to get a firsthand taste of college life at its finest. The Eye contingent travelled to Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan during the week of July 9th. Athletically inclined students endeavored to prepare and condition themselves for their upcoming year with optimistic outlooks. Still others drew a breath of exhilaration from the World Series of Rock at Cleveland Stadium and adventuresome journeys to the wilderness of blossom Music Center. On the more serious side, students prepared for their financial futures by disciplining themselves with summer labor. Truly the summer was an enriching time. At any rate, it prepared the student for the grueling grind of school once again. 10 sumnn-r

Socially speaking, this year opened up a new door for us in our advancing years of high school life. As we slowly grew older, we found the need to turn over a new stone, to try something new. Our academic lives had changed considerably and our social lives were quick to follow suit. We, as an ever active group of secondary school socialites, needed those unforgettable Homecoming, Christmas, and Sophomore-Junior Dances to feel fulfilled. For the seniors, Senior Prom proved to be the ultimate fulfillment of their four years of high school life. Although less important than the heavyweight dances, mixers gave us a chance to exercise our most meaningful diversion: girls. Athletic games which we attended were marked by enthusiastic antics such as those of Mark Stevenson and Paul Kobe. The exuberance we displayed at all these events was necessary for our sanity after a hard week. Whether our weekends found us in the stands or on the dance floor of the Student Center, this free time was spent usefully. Weekends were not a point which we turned from work and wasted time. On the contrary, when we turned to recreation, we worked to make it good. Then it worked for us. Below: Kevin Avery. B.irt Stovicek. Livj Klcinhcnz, .»nd Mike Hurley. i ft i N STUDENT LIFE
