N WH experience Normally students get their education in the usual classroom setting. But occasionally they get the chance to leam in a special way, through first hand experience. It was the environmental science students that got this chance. The Environmental trip to West Virginia, an annual event at Homestead, gave students the opportunity to experience the real outdoors on a five day hiking and camping trip taken over fall break. There was no electricity, no bathrooms, no telephones to call for help in case of trouble, and no one for miles around. This left the group on its own with teacher Doug Waldman to lead the way. You have to be a teamg you have to help each other. It's a satisfying feeling when you get done, said sophomore Anne Hutsell. The trip taught students about hiking, setting up their own tents, cooking with freeze-dried food and ll. BER FEQEE portable stoves, as well as many other outdoor survival skills. It gives you an insight on backpacking, said sophomre Eric Amson. 4 Being in a wildemess situation was a new experience for many of the students who had never been camping, backpacking or gone hiking before. It's kind of hard at first, but once they get used to it, it's a lot of fun, said sophomore Marc Carney. It's a shock. You have to depend on yourself a lot, said Hutsell. Overall, the trip taught students a lot. It gave them the chance to experience outdoor life in many ways and have fun while learning. Hutsell summed it up by saying: If you do get a chance to go, do, because it's great! Tracy Jensen- Managing Editor -221 in - J t 5 ' if 5 survival.

ip Juniors ory FOUL PLAY as seniors win again .I 'Q .gh .' f ,nif- li: N' One of the most eagerly-awaited activities in Homecoming week was the Powderpuff game: The flag football battle between the Junior and Senior girls. Traditionally, the Seniors have won, and traditionally, the Juniors have complained of cheating. This year was no exception. The Seniors won, 14-7, and the Juniors cried foul play. I think they played dirty, said junior Debbie Minnear. Fellow junior Holly Risk added that, Senior cheating is a tradition, But I think that they overdid it just a bit. The Seniors disagreed, I don't think that we did anymore than they did, said senior Angie Aiello. The fact there was a Junior Hit List supported the Juniors' belief the Seniors were playing dirty. Senior Kelly Corya admitted that there was a list, but it was just used to scare them. Aiello said that the entire team was not out to play dirty. It was certain people .,.plf' after certain people. Because of the claims of foul play, the Juniors still said that they won the game. We knew the Seniors had some tricks up their sleeves. They were very intent on having us lose, but we really won, said junior Heather Relue. When speaking of next year, some Juniors had ideas on their strategy already. Win or lose, we'll play fair, said Junior Stephanie Forrest. The Seniors are convinced that this year's Juniors will win next year. They'll be really good next year, said Aiello. Corya agreed, They'll be tough. Even though doubts of fair play steamed up the Juniors, all was forgotten in a few days, and the Juniors turned their thoughts to their Senior year. We're going to do it next year, said Minniear. aurccn Condron- Editor-in-chief 'x THE CLASS OF '87 RULES', . said senior powderpuff cheerleader, Mike Tharp.
