One of the field trips was to the Virginia Museum in Richmond for the musicial ‘ Fantasticks.”’ The students gained many new, and probably, experiences they would never have had if this program had not been available. Although credit could not be given because teachers were giving up their planning period which was against ac- creditation policy it was still worth the ef- fort. Mrs. Simmons and Mr. Conner were the coordinators for the program. ES Top Left: (l-r) Wayne Edgerton, Anthony Jones and Dennis New- ton cooking.
