Vacation Fever! n It's inevitable. Each year as the cold win- ter approaches or the warm weather of spring begins, the thoughts of faraway places and adventures come to the minds of every young adult. Vacation! — The most important word in a teenager's vocabulary. The dreams of warm sunny beaches or the picturesque view of snowcovered mountains or even the sound of a fast moving stream are just a few of the places students imagine themselves to be, instead of the steady pace of school life. Some students beg their parents to al- low them to go to the beach by them- selves, while others settle for the annual family summer vacation. However, wher- ever the student may go, their vacation means only two things: Fun and Parties ! 1. Touring the city of Munich Germany in December are Sue Ward jnd a friend. 2. Jackie Miller lives it up in Las Vegas Nevada. 3. Dawn Tomlin and her father learn the correct way to eat clams in South Carolina. 4. Showing his expertise at water skiing is Danny Stahl. 5. Catching some of the suns rays in Mexico are Angela Mobley and her mother. Europe The best part of the trip was getting to know foreign people and communicating with them , commented Sue Ward when asked about her journey to Europe. Break, Sue toured the beautiful lands of Austria and Germany for 9 days. In Austria, Sue visited such places as the elegant Von Trapp mansion which was used in the filming The Sound of Music , and while in Germany, she was able to see the enormous Olympic facility in Munich where the 1972 games were held. The most comical experience took place when Sue's luggage took a detour to India for four days. This European Vacation was one that Sue will Las Vegas What is the city that never sleeps? It is the city of a million lights, Las Vegas, and Jackie Miller was able to visit this spectacular town in April of 1987. Jackie went to Nevada to see her brother and his family. While there she visited such places as Lake Mead, Mt. Charleston and of course the Casinos. She also took the time to do some shopping and bought her prom dress at a small boutique in Caesar's Palace. Jackie said the one thing that impressed her most about the city were the lights. They are so bright, that even at night it seems as if it's daytime! 42 Seniors

Kiawah Island During the month of August Dawn Tomlin and her parents took their family vacation at sunny Kiawah Island, in South Carolina. As any teenager would, Dawn spent many hours at the beach sunbathing and checking out the guys. She also was involved with some unusual activities such as a clam bake, where she learned the proper procedures of opening and eating a clam. Dawn was enthusiastic about the safari when she replied, It was neat because I saw alligators, birds, and other wildlife . During the summer Angie Mobley and her parents took a four day vacation to beautiful Cancun, Mexico. While there they encountered many different experiences; one occurred when a false alarm was set. The hotel panicked, and people were rushing out when the Mobleys were trying to check in! As any individual would, Angie spent the majority of the time on the beach. I took a walk on the first day and in just 15 minutes I was already tan, commented Angie. When they grew tired of the beach, the family would go back to the hotel room and watch the many different kinds of lizards fight over the food that they would throw down to them. On the last day of the vacation Ms. Mobley took the opportunity to go para-sailing. This was the high point of the trip, but she promised herself that once was quite enough! Kettle Falls Staying in a log cabin in the mountains of the state of Washington was one of the numerous adventures Danny Stahl took part in this summer. Danny went on vacation for three and a half weeks in July of 1986 to rugged Ketle Falls, Washington with his step-dad and some friends. While there he visited close relatives plus spent many fun-filled hours participating in sports like water skiing. On this he commented, The hardest part is getting up and staying up . From here they traveled to Long Beach Oregon (the longest beach in the United States). During his visit there, he frequently would go deep sea fishing for salmon from 4:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. or until each caught their limit of two salmon per person, per day. This sport was the Highlight of Danny's vacation out West! Seniors 43
