any American song. The one thing that everyone had in common was the achievement of their goal — to have a great time. While some of us were wandering around the country, or other countries, others were working hard to replenish bank accounts. Anne Hathaway's Cottage Is maintained with the utmost care. Everything, from the china to the bench that Anne sat on with her husband-to-be. Shakespeare was original and well-kept. Photo by Kim Morris Members of the Resident Life staff, such as Nancy Jeffries, remained in Millersville to keep things running smoothly. Others went home to work at long standing jobs or for family members. Patrick Morgan's uncle awaited his arrival so he could help with the work that had piled up in the shop. Pat. and everyone else who worked over spring break, may not have been on a beach all week and maybe they didn't fly over the Atlantic for The Eiffel Tower is the most popular sightseeing attraction in .the world. It stood at 320 meters to be seen and admired by all. Photo by Kim Morris seven hours to reach their destination. But one thing is for sure — they were richer than the rest of us for the remainder of the semester. It didn't matter what students did during spring break. The important thing was that books and classes were not a part of it. sr nr,

The Hard Rock Cafe promotes peace and a good time. This particular Hard Rock in London was mostly entertainment for tourists. Photo by Kim Morris Hampton Palace holds some interesting history of King Henry VIII and his desire to own the palace. This sunny day marked the only sun In London for the whole week of spring break. Photo by Kim Morris Continued from page 11 He laughed and answered in his ever so British accent. I believe it's fifty this week. Needless to say. I learned to look in every direction twice before leaving a curb. Along with the life-threatening motorists, the exchange rate was crippling. The American dollar used to be worth more than the native money but. this year, one English pound was worth almost two dollars. As for the nightlife, the pubs were definitely the places to go. There were clubs, like the Hard Rock Cafe, but they were mostly tourist-populated. To get a taste of how the British spend their free-time, no doubt about it. pubs were the only way to go. With Budweiser being an import, it was more expensive than beers such as Carlesburg (some adjustments were easier to make than others). As I mentioned earlier. Paris was. for me. more exciting. There were cafes on every corner and Burger Kings for the less adventurous types. The Eiffel Tower, in all of its glory, was visible from the furthest corners of the city for all to see and admire. The city, in and of itself, was spectacular, but the most amazing thing was the number of english-speaking people we met and the instant comradery that was established. We met four Americans and one Australian. A few of us could speak minimal french which, of course, was a help in getting where we wanted to go. We found that every member of the group had something to contribute to our travels, whether it was speaking the language or being good with maps. Paris nightlife was magnifi-que! La Scalla, located across the street from Le Louvre, seemed to be the place to go. The crowd was a comfortable combination of parisiennes and tourists. There were Italians who couldn't speak a word of english but spoke fluent french and native French who couldn't speak english but could sing along with I 2 • Spring Break

February 14 is not an ordinary day at Millersville, it is A Day For Love — by Jen Crissman- This couple presents a pretty scene as they shore o moment on Valentines Day. This bridge has often been used as an interlude lor couples. Photo by Morin Studios Every year when February 14th arrives, it symbolizes the biggest day of the year for romance, hearts, flowers, cards and candy. Valentines Day was the day for lovers. It gave people the chance to express how much their loved ones mean to them. White some people stick to the safe and traditional ways of saying I love you , others are a little more daring and creative. Cards, candy and flowers still remain the top three choices of gifts when it comes to Valentine s Day. Cards come in a variety of sizes, shapes and colors with all kinds of different sentiments — the mushy, funny and sarcastic. With a little time spent browsing, anyone can find the perfect card for that special someone. Candy, especially chocolate continues to be a favorite expression of love. For the chocolate lover, there are solid chocolate hearts, chocolate roses, giantsized chocolate chip cookies and red heart-shaped boxes filled with an assortment of candy. Flowers seem to best symbol- ize the day of love. While you can choose from baskets, bunches and vases, flowers wrapped in the green paper in boxes seem to be the most popular choice. Pink and white are good color choices, but red is definitely the color for love. Another way that people say “I love you is by sending baloons with messages. There are the normally colored balloons as well as foil balloons and ones that say things like I love you . Be mine ', I have a balloon and you don't , and of course. Happy Valentine's Day. A romantic candle lit dinner for two. with soft music playing in the background is also another way of expressing your love. Some people go out to a nice restaurant. while others create the mood in the privacy of their own home. But remember, no matter what a person gives — whether it is a box of candy, a simple card, red roses or just a hug and kiss — it is the thought that counts. 14 • Valentine's
