Student Life This year's student life consisted of a variety of activities from spirit week to weekend parties. Mixed in with this relief. however, came the annual drudgery known as school. Students occupied themselves throughout the week through activities such as spirit week, intramurals, sitting on the mall, and in many other ways. After working their way through the week, they enjoyed the freedom of the weekend. The weekend was made up of two and one-half days in which the students attended parties, athletic events, or just laid around. Although several students have part time jobs both dur- ing the week and on the weekend, they posses the uncanny ability to not only attend a majority of the activities either at school or away, hut also to complete their homework assignments. Over the past year Ignatius students attended a variety of concerts from the Go-Go's to the Who. Blossom had one of the best seasons in the past few years and many Ignatius students took advantage of the large number of bands performing there. This abundance of social events provided a much needed relief from the pressures and monotony of the school week. 8 Student Life

Summer, a time for kicking hack and enjoying whatever happens, but this is a typical summer for everyone. what does the average Ignatius Student do? Well when you get out of that last exam your minds not on Calc. Latin, or this years grades, your minds on summer. Some head west. As far as they can go. namely the highways, byways, and beaches of Southern California. Some stay a week, some stay a month, some try to cinvince their parents never to leave but inevitably all want to re- Summer: Home and Away turn. Other students are underprivi-1 edged, they can only retreat to the sunny beaches of those famous South Carolina or Florida resorts. Many students families rent out villas on the ocean and spent weeks with sunny southern comfort. Yet other students need something different. They don’t need the aggravation of the overcrowded beaches or resorts, they need the city, and I don't mean Cleveland. The Big Apple. NYC New York City. All the magic of the city that makes Broadway Broadway. Central Park Central Park. Midtown Midtown and the skyscrapers manmade wonders is just waiting to be absorbed by traveling teens. Some can’t afford to travel far so they travel in short jaunts out to Blossom Music Center for what turned out to be the most star studded, dynamic, powerful rock jams this area ever heard. And then their are those students that go home and crash after their last exam and don't get up until registration day of next year. II 10 Summer
