FIELD TRIPS Iaunts pro Keeping the field in field trips Field trips have been as permanent a fix- ture of public school life as English classes and PE. The basic junior high trip consisted of the zoo and lunch, but high school field trips often came out more as an event. Almost all field trips could be labeled interesting, but the most exciting trips are those that are farthest away from home. Under this rule the best field trip possible must be the seniors' field trip to Washington, D.C. There were a few other groups that got outside of town, although not so far. jour- nalism students attended a conference in Austin, and National Honor Society mem- bers went to the Comanche Peak Nuclear Plant in Glen Rose. Although clubs usually take the majority of field trips, English classes had an impres- sive number of their own. junior and senior honors classes took a trip to The Bronze Age of China exhibit at the Kimbell Museum and the Shakespeare exhibit in Dal- las. The same classes also saw a western ver- sion of Twelfth Night presented by Casa Manana. Mrs. Mickie Peterson's class took a trip to her home to watch the videotape of A Tale of Two Cities when the school's equipment was in use.

Future Farmers took a day out in january to go to the stock show. FFA also went to the zoo, as did the Art Club. The Chemistry II class visited the Western Com any Museum. Future Business Leaders ofPAmerica took one of the most unusual trips of the year to the filming ofthe Charlie Rose Show in Dal- las. The guest was Cheryl Teigs, one of the most popular models in the country. Another group saw Gloria Swanson. A major number of the field trips involved groups that never even left school, or were working on school projects. Maybe that accounts for the days when the field trip lists were twice as long as the absentee sheet. Student Council officers found themselves out of class incessantly, and they often drag- ged many of their members with them. Stu- dent Council members worked to set up the Hard Times multi-media show, attended meetings every three weeks, and helped show our campus to the freshmen who visited orientation. The Art Club spent a large amount of time makin the stage decoration for the Chamber ofgCommerce banquet. Art Club also set up their art show in the drama room. The Highsteppers and the ROTC helped set up the Senior Citizen's Fair in the coliseum during the fall. One of the homemaking classes took a consumer survey at K-Mart on Denton Highway. Every week also had its fill of psuedo or mini-trips. These are things like the short parties or the football team during their sea- son or the aforementioned Student Council meetings. Since these usually come as a sur- prise, they could have been the most fun of all. an

TEACHERS PLAY Teachers cool off at ice cream social Clubbers bring goodies for faculty by Annie Estill Why was it that some of the shortest teachers like Miriam Duell and Jeannie Fisher had the highest boxes to reach? What really got bad was when they reached up to find their secret pal present in their boxes and it was a piece of cake or something breakable. Student Council sponsored secret pals to help promote better relationships between the students and teachers. At the beginning of the year, vice- president Terri Riehl Cwho was in charge of getting this activity underwayj made a list of teachers and let the Student Council members choose the teachers they wanted. Bettye Wright said she received a record for her birthday, a carnation at Valentines, and some tea towels. Mrs. Wright replied, l think having secret pals adds a little fun to school. The gifts that were given were usually in- expensive except at Christmas or birthdays and a little more was spent. At Christmas, gymnastic teacher Roland Rangel gave his secret pal Roger Watkins Cheerleader sponsor Bettye Wright and art teacherjerriejo Wright conspire on how to sneak off with the rest of the homemade ice cream made by Student Council. two tickets to the Kenny Rogers concert. However, because of Roger's dedication, he was unable to go since a basketball game had been scheduled that evening. A luncheon was then given at the end of the year in order to reveal the secret pals. Student Council also sponsored an ice cream social in which they served ice cream to all the teachers to show their appreciation. There were 25 gallons which consisted of strawberry, vanilla, chocolate, peach, and sherberts along with cookies, brownies, and punch. Future Teachers of America, sponsored by Mrsjeanie Fisher, surprised the teachers with apples in their boxes. They also had Teacher Appreciation Day and placed cookies and cakes in the lounge during Valentines Teachers also received poems and candy in their boxes during Halloween from FTA. Future llomemakers of America gave a Continental Breakfast in which most of the teachers showed up. The breakfast consisted of chilled fruits, muffins, sausage, coffee. and Russian tea. FHA also gave heart can- dies during Valentines to the teachers. The Parent-Teacher Association took food to the teacher's workroom during Public School Week to display their appreciation. On the contrary, if a student ever needed a teacher during second lunch on Wednesdays, forget it! Most of the teachers were in their workroom preparing a feast. The teachers involved were Richard Berry, Sarah Gomez, Keith Harshbarger, Don Houck, Glenda Picha, David McGee, Marvin Reed, Billie Sommermeyer, Tom Watkins, Bettye Wright, andjerrie Wright. Some ofthe dishes prepared were lasagne by Mrs. Wright, Letterbuck and Enchiladas by Mr. Berry, and fish fried by Mr. Harsh- barger. Soup and salad, chicken fried steak, and box lunches were also served, Mrs. Gomez said, I like the special lunches because it breaks up the monotony of the day and it's interesting to see what dif- ferent teachers come up with.
