Following the same routine day after day can get boring. The same classes, same people . . . the same ole thing! So when break time rolls around, where are all the Blackford students? They ' re breaking the routine — they ' re going places! And go places they did — far places, sunny places, across the ocean places, and the Government places. The historical background provided the setting for 40 students who toured Washington, D.C., in one day. As al- ways, Florida was a big attraction. Along with memories of a sunny break, they come back the envy of everyone, with a tan. Another sunny vacation resort for Scott Winder was Hawaii. Bev Runner also found the sun inviting as she spent her break in the Bahamas. In the mass of thousands at the California Rock Jam was student Paul Montgomery, who was visiting his brother. Spring Break also gave three seniors the opportunity to visit former BHS students in Arkansas. Reaching outside the boundaries of the U.S., French stu- dents spent their break touring Europe. Breaks in the routine are always welcome. The distance you travel or the place you see doesn ' t really matter. Some- times sleeping in on a weekday till 10 a.m. can be best of all. Reflections of history and the tombs of those who helped make It were observed in Arlington National Cemetery by history students. Travel 23

I can ' t wait to get inside where it ' s warm. That unexpected vacation sure was nice. SEVEN whole days, thanks to the blizzard of ' 78 — and now if the miners don ' t go back, maybe more. Over a 100-day strike!) Hi, Joe! . . . What ' d I do over break? I shoveled so much snow you wouldn ' t believe; and if I wasn ' t doing that, I was stuck in the house with my little sister.
