New faces for As the departure date approached, the last few days before the class trip found seniors who were planning to go in an absolute uproar to get on the road. The chaperones, Bernice and Joe Huie and Patricia and John Weems, were also perparing to l eep the travelers in line. The first day included a lenghty bus ride, which turned out to be a very interesting one. The next few days held tours and nnore tours: Williamsburg, Virginia; Monticello, Thomas Jeffer- son ' s home; and Washington, D.C. Our travelers saw as many of the sights of Washington as possible, including the Pentagon and the Smithsonian build- ings, and they sat in on House and Senate sessions. Eating at the Old Eur- ope Restaurant proved to be a new experience for many. Attending two plays ' Medea ' and ' Deathtrap ' were part of the nightime activity while in the nation ' s capital. Seeing ' Deathtrap ' performed at the Hayloft Dinner The- atre was acclaimed as being the most enjoyable evening of the trip. 1 Donna hJichols 162 Seniors Lynn Nolen DREADING THE LENGTHY bus ride home, the senior boys take time out to relax after spending their spring holidays in the ' Big Apple.

m ,HI i New York En route from Washington, D.C. to New York City, the group stopped in Philadelphia to tour Independence Hall and to view the Liberty Bell as well as the Franklin Institute. Several hours of free time during their first night in the ' Big Apple ' gave the seniors time to browse the area near their hotel — Broadway. Points of interest such as the Statue of Liberty, the World Trade Towers, and the Unit- ed Nations Building, along with many other sites were enjoyed during their stay. The musicals ' Annie ' and ' Bar- num ' provided great entertainment and afterwards several people in- dulged in some of New York ' s delicious cheesecake. The trip was truly a fun and learning experience. A special thanks to the chaperones who kept us going and made it such a great trip. 4 AT THE GIFT shop of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, Lynn Nolen seems small next to a model of the huge cathedral. -■ i.- - AFTER SITTING IM on House and Senate sessions.
