Opening 3 2 ^^Sm Opening Making Tracks 4 Student Life Divider "The best way to secure future happiness is to be happy as as rightfully possible today/' - Charles W. Elliot Student Life Divider P 5 Wasted Time Wayland students spend their summer months doing many different activities. Whether thev are working, travelHng, or just hanging out, summer vacation is a welcome break for all. Many students take advantage of the vacation time to experience something that would notbe possible during the year. One such student was Jesica Myers, who spent her summer vacation in Costa Rica. Jesica went to Costa Rica with a group of ten teenagers to explore the country, improve her Span- ish, and do some community service work. She worked hard in a mountain village each day, from seven thirty in the morning to four in the afternoon, building a community center. This was not a luxurious vacation, but rather, Jesica ate almost nothing but rice and beans the whole time and lived without electricity and other modern conveniences. The trip was not all hard work though. The group spent a lot of time in the beautiful Costa Rican wilderness, hiking and even Whitewater rafting. Jesica explored the cloud forest, Monteverde, hiked near the Arenal volcano, and relaxed on several beaches. Throughout the trip, in addition to the chickens walking around the village, Jesica saw a lot of wildlife such as monkees, sloths and various birds. All in all, Costa Rica is a whole different world from Wayland. In Costa Rica, Jesica learned about a new way oflife and made many friends. No matter what Wayland students do with their summers, they tend to have a lot of fun and often learn a lot while gaining valuable experiences. One needn't travel to exotic lands to do this. For example, Jim Young did research at Harvard in an attempt to create a vaccine for the Tai-4 strain of the HIV virus, while Tina Wilkes, Anna DiPerna, and Kim Edelman worked with E- coli flipping hamburgers at the Diner. In general, just the time we gain out of the classroom, without homework, enables us to experience many more wonderful things that aren't possible during the year. Dino!
