Sixteen selected Senior students compose the Honors program at LHS which includes six fields of study otherwise unavailable in the school curriculum. The program demands an intense amount of concentration and study, but is culturally, as well as academically, rewarding. Asa part of Honors, sacrifices were made to insure the success of the program. All learned to budget their time each day for regular classes, social lives and of course for preparation and attendance at scheduled Honors meetings, but in the end, the entire experi- ence is gratifying and most valuable.

The Capitol in the background, Mitchell After the 3 1 2 hour bus journey, hungry Shaner stands on a pillar of the Supreme Seniors attack the food at a cafeteria Court Building to survey the view. to satisfy their healthy appetites. Why on earth it had to rain on March 31st, no Senior will ever know. But despite the buckets of raindrops that fell all day long, the class had an enjoyable time on the annual Senior jaunt to Washington, D.C. Anything but bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. Seniors and chaperones left on 3 buses at 5:30 A.M. Arriving in D.C. they found a typical big city plague — the traffic jam. This spoiled the schedule because FOOD was first and foremost on everyone ' s mind, so eating at the Holloway House replaced the Bureau of Printing and En- graving. After breakfast. Seniors viewed the original copies of the Constitution and Declaration of Independence. Then came Con- gress. Here the class viewed the House and Senate in session, and met with Caldwell Butler. The highlight of the whole trip fol- lowed. Never before had Seniors had the chance to see the Supreme Court in session. Those who did get to go inside the Court heard the case of Capital Punish- ment argued. After eating their picnic lunches on the buses, the class was off to the Smithsonian for a few hours, then a quick stop at the Jefferson Memorial. In Fairfax, Seniors were let loose on Tyson’s Corners to eat or shop. At 12:30 that night, worn out and wet students and chaperones rolled into Lexington. Rain, Rain, go away . . 30 Moments
