Students make many trips throughout the year which range from history and English trips to the C.S.P.A. journalism trip to New York. Sophomores, seniors, and juniors of the world history classes and U. S. History classes visited Duke University and the University of North Carolina as the studio guests of the television class which they view every day in their own classrooms. Senior and sophomore English classes boarded four buses and journeyed to Rich¬ mond to see the play Hamlet at the Vir¬ ginia Museum of Fine Arts in March. The C.S.P.A. convention in New York was attended by juniors of the publications staffs. The trips this year were most worthwhile because they added extra dimension to classroom atmosphere. Patricia McDowell, Russell Lindley, and Sammy Weh- renberg look on as the county clerk H. Mason Size¬ more shows them records kept at the court house in Halifax. Oh well, there ' s always another time, Coach Lennie Riddle exclaimed as the bus broke down after losing the Bluestone track meet. Marsha Wilkins and Carole Owen order breakfast on the train on their way to the C.S.P.A. convention in New York. 23
