N York! Soles out ticket The annual event for seniors was the gov- ernment field trip to Washington, D.C., arranged by State Representative Lanny Hall. Through the Capital, New York, Virginia and Maryland, 41 seniors and three sponsors traveled. The group left with Mrs. Thelma Hill, Mrs.jo Pennington, and Mr. Pat Pruitt on April 22 and were gone for a total of four days travel. They flew American Airlines from DFW Airport and landed at Baltimore, Md. Learning from experience, the sponsors decided to charter buses instead of hailing cabs for 41 people. This proved to be cheaper and more convenient. The trip cost 5410, which included bus transportation and meals, except lunches. To help lower the cost, the students sold candy, popcorn, and sponsored the student-faculty basketball game. Not all participants worked and sold the fund-raising projects, but those who did got the money put toward their cost only. Most major buildings were viewed. Major attractions for the group were the Capitol, National Cathedral, Arlington Cemetery and Smithsonian Museum. Only some toured the White House. The young tourists took a bus tour through New York. They went to Radio City Music Hall and saw the musical America They went shopping on Fifth Avenue. A john Sowders and Mrs. Thelma Hill return from visiting the Capitol.

Annie Estill, Bret Sutherland and Steve Speers especially enjoy the musical America.

Credits total? A place to go for help is the counselors' office. Officer It is, in reality, four offices, a file room and a work area. Mr. jim Farmer, sophomore counselor, Mrs. Kay Clark, junior counselor, Mrs. Libby Conant, senior counselor and Mrs. Dorothy Yanowski, secretary, reside there, each in their own office. Their many tasks include enrolling stu- dents in classes and giving tests. Of course, if a student comes to us with a personal problem. we always try to help, Mr. Farmer said. The counselors register students for classes each year and if anyone misses regis- tration, they are enrolled individually. They also help students who change schools dur- ing the year. Transfer students need to get as close to the same classes as possible so they don't lose credit for only taking part of a class, Mr. Farmer said. The job of figuring each senior's credits belongs to Mrs. Conant. She must figure each one separately. sometimes more than once. to see if they will be graduated. Also. she provides literature on colleges and gets scholarships for some students. if me A., , E.. g 1' is job includes registering unior counselor Mrs. Kay Clark is in charge ofgiving juniors the PSAT ICSI. 5 if ,WN .. .
