UP, UP, AND AWAY! At four o'clock in the morn- ing, there is not much going on anywhere. In most homes, the dads are snoring, the babies cooing, the teenagers grunting, and moms are sighing in relief. The birds are not awake, the ani- mals are through with nightly prowls, and the sun has yet to make its morning announce- ment. The farmers are beginning to awake to get ready for the morning milking or other agrar- ian responsibilities. Perhaps there is a pot of coffee brewing set to begin at four in the morn- ing. However, if you are Marcia Circo, of Adrift Ballooning, you are scanning the weather report to determine if today is the day to give most of the 190 students at Arlington Christian their first shot at going up in a hot air balloon. The whole event of hot air ballooning was the brainchild of Mrs. Fay Medema and Mrs. Sharon Kanehen, in connection with their second grade class' study of hot air balloons. The students were able to witness the process of laying out the bal- loon, filling it with hot air, and to take part in a tethered ride. The tethered ride was an all school event, especially with some high school muscle being used for rope responsibilities. Andy Phillips. Ray York, David Andringa, Wes Perrault, and Brent Strand were among the helpers. Thanks guys for the memories! Students received a special treat when the hot air balloon visited school.
