England The sun never sets on the British Empire.” In October, five seniors had the opportunity to experience this and to take part in an exchange program in England. Lia Hilling, Craig Hillman, Michelle Hinshaw, Jenni Long, and Laura Powell, accompanied by teacher Pauline Ronald, spent three and a half weeks in northern England. Living with host families, the students experienced every-day life in a small town named Wigan. They found customs to be interesting but quite different. Some differences included the set-up of the schools, the number of meals a day, the method of driving, the curfews (especially late on school nights), and the drinking age. During the week, the students either attended school with their hosts or were taken to nearby cities for sightseeing and shopping. Included among these were: Manchester, Liverpool, Chester, Strat-ford-on-Avon, and Yorkshire. The weekends were left up to the host families. Traveling abroad gave Lia, Craig, Michelle, Jenni, and Laura a chance of a lifetime for a great learning experience. They all admitted to having a really great time. All agreed that they would gladly go back again, although Hillman vowed, I will never again in my life travel with five members of the opposite sex!!!” Over spring break, sixteen RHS students and Spanish teacher Joyce Graf toured through Spain. The group visited Barcelona, Madrid, Lisbon, and Toledo. They spent ten days abroad exploring the customs of the Spaniards. The group had some exciting and scary things happen to them. One student got caught in a metal detector and got frisk by the police and several others were stopped by gypsies and practically robbed. Holy Week processions in Grenada were taking place while the students were in Spain. They witnessed people carrying floats with bare feet on cobblestone streets. This was truly amazing, and an interesting experience,” said one student. Most students had trouble with the language even though some had had Spanish classes. Brian Harvey said, Most of the people in Spain spoke some English but it was still difficult.” Students traveling abroad were: Lauren Darr, Beth Duning, Bryan Fisher, Jennifer Force, Nancy Graf, Nick Graf, (both pictured), Brian Harvey, Jennifer Hubble, Julia Jensen, Mara Kaiser, Keiinda LaMaster, Beth Lundquist, Shannon Sharits, Dawnette Sturgis, Jennie Veach, Chad Wright. 26 ?'uuac£

Europe Richmond High School sent twenty-nine student and teacher explorers to Europe for a ten day stay. The group’s first stop was the city of London where they visited the Hard Rock Cafe, St. Paul’s Cathedral and Big Ben. After touring London, the group departed for France on a ferry across the English Channel. As they arrived in Paris, they were greeted by the very different French customs. Their first day in Paris consisted of a riding tour of the city and a visit to Notre Dame. The group also went to the Eiffel Tower and ended their stay in Paris with a trip to the Louvre. The next stop on the tour was West Germany. The group visited a Nazi concentration camp and drove along the Rhine river. Amsterdam, the capital of Holland, was the final stop for the group.
