Seniors who hadn’t skipped on Senior Skip day were rewar- ded with admittance to the Senior Picnic. Held the Monday before graduation, seniors basked in the sun and feasted on hot dogs and hamburgers prepared by faculty. Curtis Park provided the group with a pool, tennis courts, and plenty of room to relax. Finally, the calender read June 18.

Holy Place Freshman Nader Muh- sin poses in front of the Mosque of the Rock. He spent part of his sum- mer in Palestine visit- ing relatives and friends. Reema Muhsin 12 Summer The last bell of the year finally rang. No one could wait to begin their summer vacation. Everyone had their cars packed and ready to head for the beach. One such student was Juan Chaves who spent his entire summer surfing with the exep- tion of working for two weeks at his father’s construction company in Fredericksburg. He entered the First Annual Labor Day Beach Bash, at Nags Head, and placed third over all. Another student, Steve Cowan, traveled to Indiana and Wisconsin for kayaking camps and contests where he received a first place and two second places. By 1990 he even hopes to qualify for the olympic team. Steve says, “T don’t think of kayaking as a hobby. It’s my sport; I’m good at it and I like it. Selina Sutherland’s home on the Potomac River provided her with easy access to water fun as well. She spent her summer with friends cruising in her own boat. “When I was younger I hated liv- Sand and Sun ing here because it’s so far from town, but now I wouldn’t trade it for anything!” stated Selina. She made frequent trips across the river to Eighth Street where whe and her friends spent many hours waterskiing or just bask- ing in the sun. Fielding and Sarah Wilson also shared the same activites as Selina, but sometimes had to compete with their dad for the boat since he’s an avid fisher- man. But not everyone got to go to the beach or just lie in the sun. Many students had to go to summer school to receive extra credits, while others, such as senior Alan Banks, had to find jobs. Alan spent his summer working at Automotive Edge to afford parts to build his own ‘hot rod’. He worked six hours a night for almost three weeks to get the car done. McDonald’s and King’s Dominion were two of the first places where most students first went to look for jobs.
