Qilplez 'VOUS mnQia8 . uring spring breals, when most stu- dents were either laying in the sun or sleeping, sixteen students trav- eled to France and Switzerland for a nine day tour. The students included: seniors, Jeff Dugas, Mary Bose lngals, Ellen Paille, Kim Stevens, juniors Wendy Homes, Charles Jenlsins, Liz Lewis, Shawn O'Neal, Sharon Pearson, Karyn Trahan, sophomores, Nan Dulse, Thea Lobell, Tammy Mazie, Kristi Winstead, and freshmen, Andrew Lewis and Cyndi Smith. Also accompanying the group were. chaperones, Mr. Maris Lazarre, Mr, and Mrs. T. D. Jaclsson, and Mrs. Zoe Person. When we finally made it to Paris, we had to sit around until we could get our money exchanged. There were five hun- dred teenagers and chaperones on our plane so this tools quite awhile, said sopho- more Nan Duke. The students began their tour of Paris with a bus ride around the city. While in Paris, the students visited the Louvre Muse- um. lt was so neat. l actually got to see the Mona Lisa and the Venus de Milo, the stat- ute that is a man with no arms, said Liz Lewis. The students also toured the Cathedral of Notre Dame and Louis XVl's famed Ver- sailles. Versailles was so big and beautiful. lt's hard to believe that someone actually lived there. said junior Wendy Homes. An equally full day followed with an excursion to the Eiffil Tower, a cruise on Bateau Mouche and a shopping spree to Galerie Lafayette. l've always dreamed of shop- ping in the fashion capitol of the world. Galerie Lafayette was the largest depart- ment store that l've ever seen. lt was two bloclss long and three stories high, said Kayrn Trahan. Late that night the group was treated to a night out on the town by Mrs. Tammy Jaclsson's high school pen pal, Pierre Ernoult, who lives in Paris. Pierre tools the students to Sacre Coeur, Momtmartre, and the Moulin Rouge, l'The Moulin Rouge was fun, it was lilse a big French Quarter with everything written in French, said Liz Lewis. On the last day in Paris, everyone visited two castles: Chambord, which is noted for its number of fireplaces, and Chemonceaux, which is built across a river, They also made a stop at Chartres to see the spectacular Gothic cathedral with its famous stained glass windows. The stained glass windows were beautiful. Each one told a different story from the Bible, said Nan Dulse. After saying Au revoir to Paris, the group jetted to the cosmopolitan city of Geneva, Switzerland, Senior Mary Bose ln- galls said, Geneva was the most beautiful city l've ever seen. lt was so clean, not because of the fresh Swiss Alp air, but there was never a piece of paper or trash on the ground. The students toured the island Cas- tle of Chillon, located in Lalse Geneva. The castle was immortalized by Byron in his poem The Prisoner of Chillon. On their final day in Switzerland, the students toured a cheese factory nestled in the Alps. Junior Liz Lewis said, The Swiss Alps were more beautiful than any picture l have ever seen. I would have given anything to have had the chance to slsi in the Alps. A side trip to Mont Blanc included a chance to play in the snow which was, for some a first time ex- perience. We had so much fun playing in the snow. Most of us have never seen it. said sophomore Thea Lobell. The other group that was with us were from the North. They sat on the bus and laughed at us while we acted lilse pre-schoolers and played in the snow, said junior Shawn O'- Neal. One of the most popular souvenirs that students returned home with were different lsinds of swatch watches. Other items were music boxes, coo-coo clocl-ns, chocolate, and clothes. After an overnight stay in Paris, the wea- ry group returned home with many memo- ries of a wonderful Easter holiday.

Gellirg llt 33B magine . . . What if you had to serve your self at lunch, wash your own lunch plate, clean up the classrooms, or keep the school grounds well groomed and mani- cured. Most students fail to realize the impor- tance of cafeteria and custodial workers. On a daily basis, the cafeteria workers prepare each menu. They also cook and serve nutritious meals for the students each day. lt is a pleasure serving the students' smiling little faces every day, said Nancy Donagriche. Another way in which the cafeteria workers serve the school is by consistently demonstrating their spirit. Whether they dressed as clowns, punk rockers, or yes, even Rambo, each had on a creative cos- tume for Halloween. During football season, the walls in the cafeteria were decoratively designed with football posters which the students could gaze at during the twenty minutes they had to gobble down their food. F ront: Evelyn Erwin, Janette Foster, Middlet Opal Martin, Loretta Lelune, Diane Jackson, Jean Gregory, Top: Brenda Weslay, Wilma Louis, and Bridget Tyler demonstrate their spirit on Halloween. www L oretta Lejune serves hamburgers to the stu- dents It is a pleasure serving everyone each doy, said Mrs. Legune. Workers 435. Features kkfsc, Custodians, on the other hand, maintain the well manicured look of the school. Each day, they can be found performing neces- sary duties such as cutting the grass, sweep- ing the halls and classrooms, or emptying the garbage cans. These are just a few of the many tasks custodians perform regular- ly. Maintaining an overall look of neatness is difficult. However, with the custodians per- forming each task every day, the school's well manicured look is something that is worked on constantly. The cafeteria and custodial workers have become on everyday part of the school. Without each of them performing their nec- essary duties, the school in general would be totally different. J anet Foster washes the plates after the students have eaten. M r. D. J. Bowman empties the milk cartons from the cafateria as one of his daily duties. l
