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.

School Da Blues lt's 6:00 a.m. Tuesday morning when your alarm sounds. The shocking realiza- tion of boring classrooms and endless hours of homework overtake the thoughts of lazy, summer days. Reluctant- ly you pull yourself out of your haven of immense luxury. You slowly drag yourself through your morning ritual that will soon become like second nature to you. Many questions arise as to how the upcoming school year will turn out and new rules make going back to school even tougher. A new tardy policy was instituted. The first tardy served as a warning. The second equaled twenty-five minutes, while the third gave a student the pleasure of staying an hour in the de- tention hall. lf he failed to show up, his time was doubled for the next day. When asked about the new tardy policy, Mr. Diekmann stated, 'lt's making a big difference. Many students dread the start of a new school year. One student, Christi Hedrick, was quoted as saying, 'lt's really hard getting back into the swing of things. For some students it is a lot harder to adjust to the hassle of getting ready and really accomplishing something at school. The school day blues seem to disap- pear once students reacquainted them- selves with old friends and became more involved with school activities. The first few weeks of school will continue to be a drag and can only be compared with that other obnoxious time-Monday morning.
