The traditional Director's Summer Student party was held on July 15th. Due to building activities, it was a somewhat smaller affair than usual, just the students and their supervisors. Nevertheless it was a cheerful afternoon, despite bit of rain that caused us to invade Mike's house every now and then (making a lot of mess, too). The picture shows the students in their Astron hats, with Leonid representing JIVE, and with the genial host himself. From left to right:
