Tour News: Where have you always dreamed of traveling? How about touring Vienna or Washington, D.C.? Every year Mrs. Joanie Percy sponsors a group of students interested in the Close Up program for a trip to Washington, D.C. over spring break. CloseUp is a week long government studies program in the nation's capitol that gives students the opportunity to attend seminars conducted by members of Congress, the media, executive agency personel, lobbyists, and others. The students participate in a variety of large and small group activities including workshops, debates, seminars, and tours. The trip's purpose is to take students out of the traditional classroom and expose them to the nation's capitol as a living classroom experience. Any student who has an adventuresome spirit and a desire to learn can join. Mrs. Percy, sponsor for four years, said, CloseUp is such an outstanding experience for all participants that I became 'hooked' after my first trip. Another group that traveled this year Close Up and Skyline Travelers On the Go vas the newly formed Skyline Travelers. These foreign language students traveled to Austria, Germany, and Switzerland during Christmas vacation and a second group traveled to France and the Riviera during spring break. These were the first trips abroad for any Skyline groups. Skyline's head custodian, Walt Krueger and his wife accompanied the group as opa and oma , German for grandpa and grandma. Mrs. Weichel's son and husband and several people from Greeley also traveled with the 10 Skyline students to Austria. The total cost for the Austrian trip was 51,109.00 which included the hotel, plane fare, breakfast and dinner. The group had to buy their own lunches. This is a really good price since usually the plane ticket alone costs S998.00. These places may not be your idea of a dream vacation, but sto some of the Skyline Travelers, it was a dream come true.
