supplement knowledge with fun Learning new skills, experimenting in new and old sciences, and traversing over the European and Mexican countryside developed select Clark students ' summer days. Pom pons, twirlers, and cheerleaders learned new styles, twists, and jumps at specialized camps. Dramatics drew four Clarkites to two universities. The fine arts of music and art interested two seniors while visiting and studying in the coun¬ tries of Europe and in old Mexico turned four students into world travelers. Two se¬ niors, Susie Forbes and Barb Furto, were 17 chosen as participants in the Indiana Uni¬ versity Honors Program which allowed them to travel to Germany and Mexico respectively. Girls ' and Boys ' Staters became diplomats and studied govern¬ mental procedures by electing mayors, giving campaign speeches, and making laws.

History merges with today’s youth Boarding the Erie-Lackawana trains, Clarkites journeyed to the historical east¬ ern coast. Upset stomachs and meeting new personalities introduced Clark juniors and seniors to new experiences. Tired and exhausted from the long journey, Clark travelers arrived in Wash¬ ington D.C., and prepared to tour the city at night. Days following were filled with tours, visiting historical landmarks, and individual entertainments. Weary from all-night poker-playing sessions, tourists prepared for the trip to New York City. Highlighting the days in New York were tours of the United Nations and the Statue of Liberty. Homesick Clarkites rode buses to Hoboken, N.J. where they board¬ ed the train for a long journey home. Spending a summer sightseeing and studying, Martha Durland, Barb Furto, Janice Vrlik, and Susie Forbes add to their learning experiences.
