Traveling around the country and out of the country is one of the best experiences in a person’s life no matter were you go or what you see. Many students from CHS have traveled to many spectacular places last year or are in the pro- cess of traveling. This year a group of students and individual students have traveled from Florida to Ger- many to Finland to Washington. D.C. to Europe. Susan Hodgson, senior, traveled to Spain where she learned and ex- plored that country. Susan is inter- ested in the Spanish language. Another trip that took place this summer was Stacy Anderson’s soph., who went to Florida. She saw the Wonderful” Disney world and Busch Gardens and Kenndy Space Center. Mr Richard Engler, Principal, and Mr. Dick Thomas, Chemistry teach- er, went to Washington D.C. to ac- cept an award proclaiming Central one of a handful of excellent high schools, nationwide. Music is very popular at CHS and this summer students from Central got to show their musical talents out of the country. They went to Europe for a couple of weeks and showed their musical ability. They traveled to Paris, England, Switzer- land, and Germany. They got to see the Eiffel Tower in Paris and Big Ben in London. Vince Webb junior, is currently in Varkans, Finland where he is at- tending school as an exchange stu- dent. Vince was named The Cow- boy” in Finland because of his cow- boy hat and boots.

German students took a trip to Ger- many for a couple of weeks. They traveled to various places such as Austria and Switzerland. They saw famous castles in the Swiss Moun tains. What a way to spend a vaca tion! 28

THE TYPICAL stairway traffic is expcr tenced by Brian Brownell Racing against the clock “RING!!!” You’re off, the chaotic disorder begins — a mad frenzy of mobs of people trying to beat the time limit. At times, this daily ritual can just about be an absurdity. You’re standing in the Central 300’s knowing your destination is clear over towards the Roosevelt. You quietly ask yourself, “Well, will this time I make it?” Not only that but of course there are those certain individuals who like to move just a bit slower than grandma and take the scenic route. It’s times like this that build our character. And so, this 5 minute ritual has been repeated again and again the perpetual authoritar ians we are supposedly being mold- ed into. Whatever happened to rest, slowing down, and giving our minds a break from the humdrum of class schedules? These students when asked, shared their opinions on our passing per- iods: “It’s definitely too short and should be made longer, and be- cause of that I was always late,” from Kristin Edenstrom, Sr. “I think we should have it longer so we could talk — but then they’d lengthen the school day and I really don’t want that,” were the thoughts of Kim Diede, Jr. “It’s too short and some teachers do keep you and then you’re late, and of course get counted absent,” stated Fred Ludwig. Jr. Perhaps for the time being we will just have to suffer but the staffing officials should consider the oppor- tunity of making a longer passing period available to the students.
