M' pt 2 Holding On To Summer hose glorious three months of rest and relaxation. The season of year which every student awaited. Thoughts of homework, tests, and writing assignments were replaced by an agenda filled with parties, days at the beach, sleeping late and working nine to five. Summer was the time of year to stash away the pressures of school life and fill the time with things you had waited all year to do. The emphasis was on doing your own thing. Whether you were a beach bum or a homebody, you fit right into the scheme of summer vacation. Most of our time was spent working, visiting friends, and sleeping. But for almost everyone, the mid-morning blues set in and the day was spent watching talk shows, the soaps, or repeats of Bugs, Woody and Friends. Summer also meant Beach Week which celebrated the beginning of summer and the Q105 River Raft Race which marked an end to summer fun. We missed it, but there will be another. To Missy James, the end of sum- mer Ls good for one last kick. ,-Q..

How Did We Do It? oing back to school is difficult for every student and Dragons were no exception. The trip back meant long, grueling days of textbooks and teachers. Few looked forward to it. But, textbooks and teachers weren't the only thoughts hounding students' minds as school grew closer. What to wear became a major concern, and students transformed into fashion zombies. Shopping became an obsession as each one searched for the perfect outfit. Shopping was hard, all right, but it was no where near as hard as waking up. Regaining consciousness proved difficult enough, and six-thirty in the morning made it all the worse. Students turned into sprinters as running to the bus stop became an everyday occurrence. But alas, students were not the only ones with the back-to-school blues. The faculty, too, had its share of problems. Lost sophomores, mixed up schedules, and late buses took their toll on teachers. They were sorry summer had ever ended. Students and faculty alike found the beginning of school an almost impossible task. Although school got off to a confusing start, and insanity seemed to be everywhere, Dragons had one thing that kept them sane - each other. And, as they looked back, one question was asked quite often: how did we do it? After many hours of careful shopping, Natalie Buda finally finds something she likes.
