Put them on a bus bound for Fort Walton Beach, Florida, and what do you get? Senior Trip '84l The end of the year trip for the seniors was probably the most long awaited tradition besides graduation. The trip was moved to an earlier-than-sceduled date in May to accommodate the seniors who were taking advanced placement exams in mid-May After boarding the bus with ice chests, books, pillows and Walkmans, the seniors were ready to hit the road. As hoped for, the weather was sunny and warm for the entire trip. The first day on the beach found 41 white bodies lounging around trying to blend in with the balmy, laid- back surroundings. By dinner the first evening, almost everyone discovered that he had a splotchy burn somewhere on his body. Mrs. Coleen Barger and Miss Patricia Hamilton supplied everything from Solarcaine to white vinegar for relief. Many seniors ignored the pains and burns and hit the beach for hours every day. After the sun went down, there was a whole other world to discover. Cash's, a night spot with a live band, a dance floor and a multitude of members of the opposite sex, was a great attraction for many of the seniors . I thought it was pretty neat, but it was kind of like a prison because Miss Hamilton kept following us around, said Briar Terrebonne. For those who didn't want people to watch, a nice game of volleyball was just the ticket. Walks on the beach and pier often caused a few students to miss curfew. Room service was kept busy by the sunburn victims who stayed in their rooms recovering. The Gulfariam was a change of scenery filled with dolphins, sea lions, turtles and some interesting trainers as well. Despite the sunburns, sand in the shoes, mounds of dirty laundry and a depleted budget, most seniors were reluctant to leave Fort Walton. But maybe it was best that way. After all Fort Walton had only one year to prepare for the next class's senior trip.
