A .5 el A' , is ,, K ' Q Getting out of class Week long trips mean homework Going on field trips was a good way of getting out of class, Junior Mike Kunkle said. For the most part going on field trips included riding on an old yellow school bus which had no heating or air conditioning. These trips included going to Computer Math Fair at T.C.J.C. and eating at their cafeteria. Honors English students went to Will Rogers Col- iseum to watch plays by Edgar Allen Poe and Mark Twain. The students ate lunch at Crystals Pizza. There were always those days when you were put on a field trip list and there was no trip to take. That meant you were taken out of class to do something in school. The art students set up the Art Show while on one of these field trips. While there were many field trips throughout the school year, there were those trips which did not last the usual one day, like the Senior class Washington trip. The trip was taken by twenty students and two sponsors. On the Washington trip many sites were seen. Among these were the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial. We also saw the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia, Senior Sondi Crawford said. Ano ' , ' tudents on a field trip list for ap- proximately a week was the trip to Colorado by the band and choir to attend a festival. HI really had a good timeg it was great, Penny Sullivan said. Whenever you were put on a field trip list you were to get the work you missed the day you returned. Most teachers were lenient about this. 'AJust because you're on a field trip does not excuse you from making up your work, Mrs. Jan Edwards said. 126 Field Trips 'sv-get Sophomores Virginia Pierce and Gina Kelly walt patiently ln llne at the band festival to get seconds at a cafeteria.
