Band members look forward to a rainy day once in a while because if gives them a break from marching outside and a chance to memorize their music for the football games t's a tough day, but Mr. Conger can still chuckle over Todd Caldwell’s mousse mess Relieved at having finished her last exam Tania Orona turns to say good-bye to some of the friends she may not see during the summer months Breaking Out Coming to the end of something isn’t always fun, but almost everyone shares the feeling of relief when the last days of school finally ar- rive. For the juniors, it is their very first week of seniority, since the seniors get out of school early to prepare for graduation. For most sopho- mores, Criver’s education and licenses are just around the corner. For freshmen, it means that they have survived their first year on the high school scene. For the staff, it means a change of pace with sum- mer school classes, a chance to further their education at graduate school and a restful vacation. However, before the cele- bration can begin, the infa- mous week of exams must pass. Concentration is low @ while excitement runs high and students dream of warm beaches and late nights. Un- able to hold back, the stu- dents splatter the hallways with the wild prints of Jams and Ocean Pacific. Staff and students alike car- ry on an endless chatter. “Where are you going on va- cation?’’ ‘What’s the first thing you're going to do when you wake up next Monday af- ternoon?” It’s impossible to walk down the halls without hearing someone discuss his summer plans. Although the final hours in- clude one or two water guns and a few ounces of mousse or shaving cream, at 10:30 a.m., the building empties with a rush as everyone goes off to vacations, summer jobs and just plain lazy days.

FALL SPORTS As soon as school begins, so goes the fall sports season, and almost everyone gets in- volved. Besides the athletes, coaches and trainers, there are the athletic boosters, the cheerleaders, the band and the fans. Students get into the action by making posters and signs, sporting the purple and the gold, organizing buses for away games and joining the Secret Admirers, who deco- rate lockers for good luck And of course, everyone looks forward to the week of homecoming. With a week full of exciting activities, the homecoming court, the pa- rade, the pep rally and the homecoming dance, home- coming week becomes one of the most anticipated weeks of the year, Spending Friday nights at the games, following favorite teams through the rigors of their season, planning the ac- tivities of clubs and organzia- tions, and going out for pizzas after activities with friends, has been apart of student life for many years. The only ma- jor changes are probably in the music on the jukebox and the price of the pizza. STUDENT LIFE 9
