The Sacred Field Trips They are the student’s best friend and the administration’s worst enemy. The teachers talk about them often and then somehow manage to forget them. There are never enough of them and they are few and far between. “They’ are the sacred field trips. This year there were trips to Washing- ton, D.C., New York, Blackwater Creek, Hollin s College, VMI, a cemetery, and the one and only Halyn Meadows. Ms. Meyers definitely enjoyed the quietest of them all —acomplacent march to a nearby ceme- tery where students sat and composed poems about dead people. Rookie Mr. Anderson suffered the most boisterous of Nature break time: Mr. Snow’s biology class crosses over Black Water Creek while observing the fauna and flora of the area. the trips on the Physics students’ excur- sion to VMI for light and-sound demon- strations. As Grace Petty, Rob White, and Corey Perine swept the spitballs, orange peels and straws from between the seats of the parked school bus, Mr. Anderson mumbled, “Next time I won't let it be such a riot on the way home — if there is a next time.” The rest of the trips ranged somewhere in the middle, (perhaps most tended to- ward Anderson’s more than Mrs. Myers’). But whatever the atmosphere, all the field trips were learning experiences and a wel- comed break from the classroom routine. oe aaa Inventing a new way of flying, Tom Harris chases a bird down some steps in Washington D.C, on a Glass Theater trip.
