 There's no place like home Seeing and hearing for one's self is the best way to learn something. This concept is just what some French and Spanish students did during the spring holidays of '76. The French group visited England, Belgium and France. While in these countries, they saw a variety of cathedrals, castles and museums. A memorable experience was crossing the English Channel on a streamer. A four-hour boat ride does nothing for a queezy stomach! One feature attraction in Paris was the discotheque. The Spanish students toured the coast of Spain, stopping in Madrid for three nights and Sevilla for two nights, one of which was highlighted by a flamenco dance. They, too, visited numerous museums and cathedrals, at times using the subway, which proved to be a very confusing form of transportation. The students found the trip a valuable learning experience but were glad to set foot on American soil once again. Before going on their tour of Paris, the French group stops for a picture in front of the Eiffel Tower. Despite the cold weatherand a hectic schedule, the Spanish group takes time out fora picture. During their meal Felicia Little and Cindy Patterson stare while a Frenchman eats escargots. Sindy Smyly, Elizabeth Ramage, Lisa Weisner and friend view the sights in this exquisite courtyard.
