chaperones took a last look at Disneyworld. M-l-C, see ya real soon, K-E-Y, why? Because we love ya, M-O-U-S-E. Sobbing and Sniffling, they went back to the hotel. The final day dawned. The sun was shining as they went to Cypress Gardens, took off their shirts, rolled up their pants, ran barefoot on the well-manicured grass, and laid down on the lawn, soaking in the Florida sun. Later, they strolled through the beauty of Cypress Gardens, with its rare trees and plants, lnot to mention the famed salami tree.J Soon, however, dark ominous clouds, taking the shape of an old English Exam, rolled into the sky. They shook vio- lently, sweeping darkly from left to right, until, with a bright flash of light and a deafening roar of thunder, opened up and emptied sheets of pelting rain and gallons of very wet water. One keen-eyed Senior looked up and said with all the knowledge and insight that is inherent to If You Had Wings . . . all of his kind, It's raining. After swimming to the buses, the Seniors and their lethargic chaperones enjoyed a buffet smorgesborg and then made way for Orlando Ietport. Be- fore boarding the DC-8 Special, the Seniors insisted on playing Disco Airport . Finally, after hot pastrami sandwiches, cold soda, and turbulance, 150 nauseated Se- niors and their expired chaperones were home in the bleak town of Philadelphia. Some Seniors, so used to rides and attractions, assumed the liberty of taking a spin on the bag- gage carousel. At last, complete with oranges and over- priced Mickey Mouse statues that got cracked when the baggage man threw them onto the track, the Adventurers arrived at Willingboro High School just in time to hear the news, Gas was up to 90 cents, there was a recession, they were all drafted into the army to fight with the Chinese against the Soviets, and there was a Trig test tomorrow.

Sea World's famous seals enjoy the lovely Florida weather. 'S-rr 'ff A ufiliflffgiii. T' R Below the chaperones, Ms. Gaines, Ms. Kircher, Ms. Masters, Ms. Soderstrom, Ms. McMenamin, Mr. Marchione, Ms. Morris and Mr. Trama, get ready for an excitin day at Sea World. Right, Shamu, one ofgthe class's favorite attractions takes a flying leap out of the water. luaus, this had been the best yet. With chants of Shamu, Shamu , the Seniors and their zombi chaperones went back to the hotel, and schemed for the next day's venture into Disneyworld. Was Mickey ready for them? The thrill of Space Mountain and the timeless beauty of Walt Disney swept the Seniors off their blistered feet and carried them with Peter Pan into Never-Never Land. Unfor- tunately, the ride broke down. Cinderella's Castle glistened in the sunlight as the group's picture was taken. The magi- cal day in the Kingdom was topped off with a jamming disco back at the hotel.. The next day, like an inexpensive whiskey, improved with age. The overzealous Seniors attacked The Pirates of the Caribbean. They took a spin on The Mad Tea Party, and went diving 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. What's a league? they pondered. Mr. Gillis explained that it was 14 teams split into two opposing divisions, East and West. With wide eyes and gaping mouths the Seniors wondered aimlessly about the place oblivious to the most potential danger - sunburn. Later that day, Mickey, Pluto, Donald, and Goofy came out and had a couple sodas with the chaperones. Iced tea, Donald said. Ms. Klein just smiled at him with a gleam. Soon night fell and Disneyworld lit up like a wonderful dream. Three lucky Seniors watched the sun set breathlessly into the west from atop the Contempor- ary Hotel. Unfortunately they were out of B tickets and had to stay up there for the rest of the trip. That night, fireworks exploded in the sky in a series of beautiful colors and hues. Tears rolled down Mr. McGrath's face as the fireworks shined brightly above the Magic Castle. Soon Mr. Gorski stepped off his foot and the tears subsided.
