Far left, Austin Murray of St. Louis, Mo. participates in the “orange race” at a Fourth of July field day. The games helped melt the ice on the program’s second day, as Summer Seminars students got settled in their dorms. Top left, a group of students huddle for a photo as they get better acquainted. Bottom left, students play a game called “over-under” at the Independence Day field day; laughing in the forground is Ian McHenry from Claremont, Calif., a student in the “News in a New Media Universe” seminar. As the weeks rolled by, Summer Seminars hosted several other casual social events on campus, including a dance, a karoake party, weekly movie nights in the dorms and a party for all summer birthdays. |

Bottom right, students in “Show Choir: Pop and Jazz Ensemble” rehearse a medley from the Broadway musical Little Shop of Horrors on the E.F. Hutton Stage. At the completion of the seminar, the group entertained about 150 spectators with musical selections from the 1930s through the ’80s. Far right, Mallory Piazzola from Diamond Bar, Calif., does barre exercises behind a USC football player.

Bottom left, Andrew Bennett of Stroudsburg, Pa., watches as instructor and USC dental student Ayten Nalbant prepares a culture of Bennett’s saliva for a lab experiment in the “Aspects of Biomedical Science” seminar. Far left, “Introduction to Film Graphics and Animation” student Gerald Banks of North Hills, Calif., admires a model designed by a friend in the “Art and Architecture: A Study of Interrelated Concepts” seminar.

OUT AND ABOUT L.A.

| Far right, on a hike in Malibu’s Solstice Canyon, Dan “Snooky” Hill of Coconut Grove, Fla. and Annenberg School instructor Nate Brown make their way through tall grass en route to a series of waterfalls. Brown led about 30 students up the trail, stopping along the way to demonstrate versatile plants such as the yucca, a natural antidote to poison oak, and edible thistle. Top right, at the crest of the trail, Linda Trottier from San Bernardino, Calif., stops to cool her heels (and soak her socks) in the waterfall-fed pools. Others pick their way through a rocky ravine hoping to scale the falls. Other outings included trips to Disneyland and Magic Mountain, the Getty Center, a Dodgers game, Santa Monica Beach and 3rd Street Promenade. |

Other water activities include kayaking, night snorkeling, plankton tows and eel feedings. Top left, kids in the Young Actors’ Summer Theatre Workshop get finishing touches on their stage make-up minutes before curtain time. Training covers acting and improv, voice and dialects, clowning, theater history, dance and movement, stage fighting and more. It culminates in a full-scale production. Bottom left, students in the Exploration of Architecture program circle the meticulously planned metropolis they designed from wood blocks. |
