x European vacation if if .44 How do you imagine the fourth of july, firecrackers, picnics, relaxation, and hot weather? Students on the Peo- ple To People trip to Europe have a different idea. Invision large men in white uniforms guarding you for four hours while you wait for clearance into their country. The Hungarian border was one of the many exciting moments that a group of twelve LSHS students experienced last summer on an exciting trip which took them half-way around the world in just thirty-eight days. ' Father's Day, marked an important date in the trip, the beginning of a trip filled with memories and experiences to last a life time. After giving out Father's Day presents and saying good- bye to friends and family, thirty-three anxious students boarded a plane heading for the nation's capital, Washington'D.C., the first place of in- terest but not the last. After seein -all the sights that our capitol has to o Li plane flew over n 6! People to People Q.. -- -2---gf f- - f ' iii J' W ii the Atlantic ocean and finally landed in Munich, West Germany. From there, the gaggIe of students proceeded to meet their first homestay family after a quick stop at Dachau, the German concentration camp. Next, on the schedule of events, was a visit to Sigmond Fret1d's home, Vienna Austria. The City of Music lived up to its name, as various types of music were heard throughout the trip. Communism-does that word, just the sound of it, make you uneasy, con- temptuous and bring ominous feelings to your heart. Well, after spending time in Hungary and Yugoslavia one re- alizes that people are all the same, it's the government that makes the difference. A romantic city with famous works of art, gorgeous men, canals for roads, and one of the most romantic Ian- guages, Italian, can all of this be found .in one place? Yes, Venice, Italy encom- , Y . passes this, not to mention scrumptious Italian pasta and ice cream. Then we were off to Rome to see the Roman Coliseum, other ruins of the ancient civilization, and the Vatican City. An overnight cruise-ship made leav- ing Italy a lot easier lit wasn't the Loveboatp but it served its purposel. Greece and the Corinth Sea greeted the group asthe trip began to wind down to a close. It could have ended sooner for some because not every- one is excited about oxen, octapus and raw fish in the same meal. After one last attempt to have fun, the group headed for home. ' G After landing back home after an ex- citing summer adventure, most stu- dents felt they had Iived up to the ex- pectations that Dwight D. Eisenhower set for the program, promoting world peace.

There are those who walk, bicycle, ride the bus, or drive to school. Most students who avoid the humility of walking, bicycling, or riding the bus prefer to drive or ride with a friend. Walking is quite a different experience. Unless you walk with a friend, you may get the feeling of being the only person on Earth walking on that long, lonely road. Students that walk could probably give you a pretty accurate account of the weather or natural surroundings in the L.S.H.S. vicinity. These poor fitness-freaks withstand 1040 heat spells, and below O0 cold fronts, not to mention mounds of snow, and slippery ice. , Riding your bike can make you hot or keep you cool, but it does not do much for your hair. You may leave home looking like Farrah Fawcett and arrive looking like David Lee Roth. One junior replied with regard to the bus, UI don't like riding the bus and I can't wait. to drive during my senior year. Rid- ing the bus can be inconvenient and ag- gravating. Some have likened it to being transported on a moving zoo every morning and afternoon. Last but not least, and the most com- fortable form of transit is the car. Arriving at school is only part of the fun. There are the episodes of cruising 3rd, fighting for parking spaces, and appearing cool while trying to maneuver the car with your arm flung around your boyfriend or girlfriend. Traffic jams were frequent and chaos constant. just remember, driving a car may be cool and sophisticated, but back in your yonder years, you may have walked, ridden your bicycle, or taken the bus. So, keep an eye out for the other guy. Be nice, offer a ride. an5P0fIir1g oneself is hard when you are on ' Transportatronf5
