Many realize travel dreams Have you ever dreamed of being a world traveler? Just imagine walking down the corridors of the White House or seeing a Broadway play. What is it like to search for a foreign comedy flick only to find you have just paid $4.50 for a porno movie? Maybe a trip to a museum isn ' t an expensive afternoon, but what if the cab driver doesn ' t under- stand English and drives 12 miles out of the way? The months agenda for the Europe trip included morning classes with tours in Madrid and Rome, an exciting train ride through the French Alps, a visit to Mt. Block, Chameneux, and Geneva, Switzerland, and a climb up the Eiffel Tower in Paris. What better way to end the trip than five days in London to shop the wonderful open markets, and see the changing of the Guard at Buck- ingham Palace. During spring break 13 juniors tra- veled to New York and Washington on the United Nations lour. Participants tilled out applications in December and were chosen on the basis of their aca- demic achievements and extra curricu- lar activities.

Each was filled with student participation and enthusiasm. Each pep assembly was designed to support the sports in season. The student body has the opportunity to see the gymnists perform their routines and the wrestlers demonstrate some holds. Many faculty members also showed their sup- port by performing interesting skits. Mr. Turn- ball headed up one of the skits where some faculty members played Hee Haw characters, singing songs about the big game. I ft Pep Assemblies
