Around the World in Seven Days Nobody will forget the Spring Break of 84-85 No matter if you stayed home (and partied) or went on a trip (and partied) , YOU HAD A STROMPING GOOD TIME! Whether you went with your parents or your friends, you will have unforgettable memories, which you will find yourself thinking about for at least the next few years. The students involved m Dickinson Students to Prance stayed m a European student hotel in Pans, where they sampled true European lifestyle. They also spent a lot of time sight seeing, shop- ping, and checking out discos, cafes, and bakeries. Laura Youngblood, a junior who went to France, said that ' it was so craz-ee and that she would always remember that week m France. Many students hit the slopes of Colorado or New Mexico. One of the ski bunnies, Christie Oxendme, a senior, said that they had a great time, especially when they wiped out And for some who prefer warmer climates, Mexico and California are only a hop, skip, and a jump away. The Pan American Club sponsored a trip to Mexico m which they visited Mexico City, Oaxaco, and Acapulco. Todd Gupton, a senior, said, We caught mega rays while improving our Spanish greatly. While many of us were out of the state, or even the country, those that stayed had fun, too. Some set off in search of the perfect road trip. And there were always the spur of the moment parties or Houston to keep DHS students entertained. Of course, spring break is the traditional beginning of the tanning season. Almost everyone left at home during the week spared a few hours to grab the baby oil, squeeze into the new bathing suit, and head east toward the beach to catch rays (and the opposite sex) , •Bon Apelil ' My DHS sluctenit.

Juniors Break 15 Year Losing Streak by Defeating Seniors 6-0 WW ith only a few minutes left to play in the game, junior Lisette Rose, a split-end, caught a pass from quarterback Laura Youngblood and changed a fifteen year old Dickinson tradition of senior victories. Both sides played well, said senior headcoach Todd Gupton. However, the seniors just came up on the short end of the scoreboard. Senior coaches were headcoach, Todd Gupton, Kent Neubauer, IVIatt Mit- chell, and Brian Anderson; and the junior girls were coached by Andre Ware, headcoach, Allen Boudreaux, Kevin Cambell, Garner Geisler, Lawrence Er- skin, Doug Reed, and Darren Wydermyer. Most people came to watch the game, but the halftime activities are just as entertaining. The senior drill team, The Studs danced to Just a Gigolo, and still reign supreme. The sophomore team, Beach Patrol, placed second, followed by the freshman team, Chained Heat, and then the juniors. Matt Mitchell was crowned the 1984-85 powderpuff prince. Headcoach for the juniors Andre Ware said, It felt good to break tradi- tion; I am real proud of them.
