WINTER VACATIONS PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH AN ESCAPE Climate Changes Lifr Spirits ither by making the best of the cold, or by escaping the cold altogether and reloca- ting to a warmer climate such as Orlando, Florida or Hawaii, students found ways to occupy their time during the cold, Winter months. All but one of the senior high cheerleaders went to Orlando, Florida, to com- pete. But it wasn't all work and no play, even though there was some stiff competition, said Jennifer Blake. The other senior high cheerleader, Kris Chandler, went to Hawaii to cheer at the Alo- ha Bowl. Kris was chosen to go to Hawaii after a com- petition during the sum- mer. Hawaii was beautiful! I don't think there's anoth- er place as pretty. It wasn 't all fun, though. It was hard work, but it was worth it. I met a lot of new people and friends, said Kris Chandler. Other students went to such places as New York, Canada, North Carolina, while one teacher jour- neyed to Puerto Rico. I went to Toronto, On- tario, Canada in Septem- ber. The city was always spotless. Everything was beautiful. I rode the sub- way for the first time, and I toured the Niagara Falls area. My family ate break- fast in the CN Tower which is the tallest free-standing structure in the world. The worst part of the trip was on the way home when we had a 3K2 hour layover in Detroit, Michigan, but overall the trip was a real exciting experience, said Robyn Lynch. One teacher, Ms. Mary- lou Andreelli, took a vaca- tion to Puerto Rico for eight days. It was glori- ous, with the sun, sand, and palm trees. It was the first time I had ever been on a coffee or pineapple plantation. I was also able to go through the Tropical Rain Forest and pick fruit. The best part, I think, was when I spent four days in a fishing village called Pargueraf' said Ms. Marylou Andreelli, It could have been said that those students who had the Will, resources, and a little imagination fulfilled their desires for a change by getting away from it all to niunerous dif- ferent locations.

We Za xmas, Q The snowy weather that Ar- kansas sometimes receives was escaped by Ms. Marylou Andreelli, who flew to Puerto Rico for the winter holidays. For eight days she traveled around the island beginning with the capital at San Juan and ending at a tropical fishing village. 51 , hi . Orlando, Florida proved to be a fun trip, especially when the cheerleaders were able to visit Disney World and tour Cinderella's Castle. A visit to Canada wouldn't be complete without a quick stop by the CN Tower to have a bite to eat.
