After offering to drive and meet the group in New York, he was finally forced onto his first flight with students going to a journalism convention in New York City. It was an enthralling experience that enabled students to see the finer aspects of New York, said junior Aaron Couch. The newspaper and yearbook staffs took several other trips during the year. In November they went to the NSPCA convention in Kansas City, Missouri. In spite of it being an educational trip, it was so much fun. 14 hours on a bus gives you more than enough time to get to know people and sing too many verses of 'Who Stole the Cookie From the Cookie Iar? ' said junior Robin Merrick. The environmental science classes took a trip to West Virginia during Fall Break. On the way back junior Brandon Harris got lost while they stopped on the Ohio State campus. However, by that point, getting lost was a going joke, since they had just spent three days on the trails in the woods. A week without showering was no joke to students on the summer environmental trips. Occasional swims had to take the place of hot water and shampoo for students sailing in Maine and canoeing in Canada. Look kids, Big Ben! junior Brian Kern would shout whenever he saw a clock on the trip French and Latin students took to Europe over Spring Break. The group would respond, Parliament! as in the movie European Vacation. Things got a bit hectic on the Spanish trip to Spain over Spring Break when several of the students were accused of smoking marijuana by another tour group. The accusation proved to be false, but it kept them joking for the rest of the trip. As the plane landed in Fort Wayne after a week in New York City, the stewardesses received a round of applause for enduring the ride. The only barf bags on the way home were passed around and signed by all the students as a memory of the week. As a souvenir every student took home a pair of wings and a styrofoam plane. lTracy Jensen FQurfeQnQQLQ Mibuig more than enoughfmeg gQLLQknQw Q6OQlQ l QLVM.-.Q-lim fi LSLQQQMKQ Qfgle Cookielm Q-QQQQIHQ ,Li --junior Robin Merrick Field Trips

The booths ranged in variety from freshman class's painted balloons to the senior class's designer painter caps to the Spartan Singers' old fashioned dunk tank. The dunk tank was one of the most popular. It raised over one hundred dollars for the swing choir. -u.., ' not fi ,shivering as juniors Molly Bailey and Shadd Folk dump water on her, junior Tracy Kuhn helps the Spartan Singers by volunteering to be in their homemade dunk tank.

The festival was sponsored by the Parents' Club as an artistic outlet and a place for the community to meet. It got mixed reviews from the public. You can never tell about the first year of such an event, said Parents' Club member Diane Butzow. Many students thought that the festival left very little for teenagers. They thought it concentrated on adults and young children. They could have had more exhibitions, things I'd be interested in, said senior Mark Guckel. Many of the booths such as the senior and freshmen booths and the National Honor Society Pepsi ring toss were aimed at youngsters while artists' booths leaned toward the adults. The workers at the fair thought it was a success. It raised over twenty-five hundred dollars a piece for the Homestead Music and Athletic Boosters and the Parents Club, said Butzow. After the youngster got his cap he flew away to show his friends and the festival ended. lQJavid 'wemfeff
