They participated in ma n y different activities depending on their tastes. Some student traveled while others simply spent time with friends or even worked. "It wa s nice just getting away from school for a while, " said j un i o r Sam Mulvany. Ma ny upperclassmen spent the s umme r vacation- ing away from their homes . Junior Marina Sivilay, for example, wen t to California to visit her cousins. "It wa s fun being away from home . " Other students, visited foreign lands abroad, like Taiwan, India, and Japan. Another popular trend wa s wo r k i ng over the summer, whether it wa s for the mon ey or to spend time productively. Senior Trisha Youngquist, for example, finished her commun i t y service by wo r k i ng in a park near her home. Becca Brady, a senior, baby-sat for some "extra cash," and Kavitha Sagi lifeguarded. Those we r e Y ^ J Studenb^ifc among the top s umme r j ob s of students at IMSA. One student, j un i o r Justin Ramos , however, chose to come back to IMSA to work. He spent some of his summe r wo r k i ng with the CNS , the Compu t e r Ne two r k i ng System on campus. The summe r wa s quite different for incoming sophomo r e of the class of 1999. Many of them were awaiting their arrival to IMSA for the very first time in the fall and experiencing their last summe r at home. "I d i dn ' t really wan t to come..." said a wistful sophomor e Jill Starzyk. Others, like Maliha Mustafa, experienced going to Excel, the summer camp to prepare students for the Academy. "I went to Excel and I had a blast," she said. In all, the summer of 1997 was fun no matter who was asked. Students on the whole mostly caught up with family members and friends and enjoyed some time away from school. It was the perfect summer to begin the perfect year.
