Terrorism threat fails to dampen trio’s enthusiasm on study tour Announcements during the spring proclaimed a study trip to Europe. Twenty Hall students looked forward to traveling on the continent. However, turmoil throughout Europe made many take a second look at the trip and the risks involved. Only two of our students would brave the dangers. The itinerary had the group joining others from the United States, and they left O'Hare field on a non-stop flight to London. The odyssey began. A two-week span would find the crew watching the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace, snacking in the Hard Rock Cafe, and shopping at Herrods. The mountains of Switzerland, Austria, and Germany were spectacular. In historic Italy, who could forget Rome or the canals of Venice, or the Tower of Pisa? The excitement for Nina Weisheit, Bill Wolf, and Mrs. Lucas all too soon came to an end. The flight back to the states was uneventful. Everyone returned home safely. Each would grasp memories of an adventure to be cherished forever. Taking a break at the London Hard Rock Cafe. Mrs. Lucas and Mrs. Crane treat the group to some refreshments. The unique decorations add color to the surroundings of a crowded street in Switzerland. EUROPE TRIP
