A view of the Capital, as seen by Clarkites, proved to be a moving experience. A first for many Clarkites, the jet ride proved to be an exciting experience for all. Air excursion made to Washington An authentic bullfight in Spain was one of the many events experienced by Nancy Ussleman as a foreign exchange student. The Washington-New York Trip was a unique experience this year, for it was the first time the traveling students arrived at their objective airborne. After arriving at the na¬ tion’s capital, the students from Clark and Tech High Schools spent over ten hours sightseeing and touring. Next on the itinerary was an all day tour of New York, which included sights as the United Na¬ tions Building and Chinatown. Al¬ together, the journey was pleasur¬ able and enlightening. Clark ' s tourists posed for a parting shot as they prepared to take off for Washington, D.C. 19

Three spend summer months in Europe A summer spent in the city of Krefeld, Germany on the lower Rhine was part of the IU Honors Program Abroad in which Karen Jefchak and Doug Forbes partici¬ pated. Thirty students from the state spent nine weeks in Germany attending classes designed to help increase their fluency in the lan¬ guage and going on field trips in the surrounding areas. Both Karen and Doug lived in homes of German families speaking only in German. Karen said, “My adopted brother is probably the only boy in Europe with a Clark ’71 football jersey.” Also a participant of a foreign lan¬ guage exchange program Nancy Us- selman toured Italy, Switzerland, France, and Spain. Die Pfalz, a medieval toll booth in the Rhine River, was viewed by Karen and Doug during their summer studies. Karen Jefchak and her German family, Ulrike and Ulrich Ziemer, stand on the tower of the Burg Linn castle as they overlook the city of Krefeld.

Burns describes the situation as police sur¬ round the building to catch the spies. After a long trip, the Sultan and his wife socialize during a visit to the American Embassy. Junior Class comedy begins in The talents of the Junior Class were brought to light in the comedy “Don’t Drink the Water”, which was also the first directing effort by Mr. Steven Shepard at Clark. The lights dimmed to find American tourists taking refuge in the United States embassy of a small country behind the Iron Cur¬ tain, after having been pursued by Communist police as spies. Mr. and Mrs. Hollander demanded to be re¬ turned to the United States im¬ mediately, but diplomatic matters moved slowly in the hands of the Ambassador’s bumbling son, Axel. While Axel was desperately plotting a means of escape for the family, he encountered Susan, the Hollander’s daughter, and romance blossomed. After many tribulations Axel thought of a workable plan, but as the curtain closed Susan decided that she would rather remain at the embassy with Axel permanently. Mr. and Mrs. Hollander continued their peri¬ odic arguments even at the American Embassy.
