LEGG WE 2 UD Y round the world in thir- teen days; at least half way, describes several field trips students and faculty ventured on during the 84-85 school year. For only $1100 those seeking a wide variety of Europe went on the trip to England, Switzer- land, Germany and France. Hours after departure from Dulles, the students were in England. The twenty-one par- ticipants were ready for tour after tour including such sights as Big Ben. St. Pauls Cathedral and Westminster Abbey. Then to Geneva, Switz. and on to Lu- cerne. In Germany they saw Strasbourg and then moved onto France. In Paris they vis- ited the Arc de Triomphe and the Eiffel Tower. Before head- ing home the group made a quick stop in Chartes, France. A few of Mrs. Hawthorne's Latin students traveled to Italy and Greece over spring break. They say many of the ancient cities of Europe, including Ath- ens, Rome, Delphi and Pompeii. While in Rome they saw the crew of the American ‘‘Today”’ show and got the autographs of Bryant Gumbel and Jane Pau- ley. The students traveled with a group of students from Bird H.S. because Mrs. Hawthorne was not able to attend due toa broken arm. Within our own country, sev- eral Geography classes trav- elled to our nations capital, Washington D.C. There they ob- served the National Geographic Museum, The Smithsonian Mu- seum of Natural History and the National Zoo. The trip which included eighty-four students at a cost of $11 each was a great success according to Mrs. Barbara Win- ston, the leader. The purpose of the field trip was, “‘to enhance the student's knowledge of their national capital, see his- torical sights, to review geo- graphical information and to Seeing the Sights. Jodie Bowers, Paige Smith and Karen Padgett pause by a stream in Chamonix before going to the top of Mount Blanc. Mass Transit. During a stop in Brindi- si, members of the Italy trip, Tammy Breeden, Melissa Mitchell, Kristen Vaughan and Theda Sauls pose with their bus and driver. By travelling around Europe, students grow in experience. view exhibits and artifacts relat- ing to various cultures.” Some interesting sights the group saw were the White House, the Capitol, the Austra- lian Embassy, the Hope Dia- mond, white Bengal tigers, po- lar bears and a king cobra. Mi- chelle Shultz said, ‘‘l enjoyed seeing the White House and the place where President Regan was shot.” Twenty of Mrs. Fran Bos- well’s A.P. English students also went to Washington D.C. to see Cyrano de Beregerac at the Kennedy Center and Man and Superman at a theater in the round. ‘“‘The purpose of the trip was to expose the students to places of social and historical significance,’’ said Mrs. Bos- well. Narice Bowman's home eco- nomics class received some cooking experience when they went to the Magic Pan at Regen- cy Square. There they learned how to make crepes and eat their creations. Drama classes were led by Mrs. Barth to the Swift Creek Mill Playhouse and the Virginia Center for the Performing Arts to experience live theater, to ex- pand the student's culture and to gain tips on acting. Mrs. Mary Jo Lux’s English classes went to the Virginia Mu- seum Theater to see A Rasin in the Sun. The two hundred stu- dents observed the play after studing it in class. Mrs. Lee's advanced P.E. classes played nine holes of golf as a follow up to a class unit. They also traveled to an actual raquetball court and to the James River Park to go repel- ling down the cliffs. For many, students time spent at out-of-the-classroom activities was as academic as time spent in school. It was defi- nitely more exciting. Students continue to learn and exper- ience such things as live theater and see important historical and educational sights by see- ing the world on FIELD TRIPS. Field Trips 23
