Burgin Not Pictured: Joyce Cline Charles Dunlap Bob Hundley ! Welcome Back! he 1987-88 school term started off for the teachers on a very positive note. A second annual break- fast in their honor welcomed them back from a short summer vacation. lt helped them ease the shock of taking up their academic roles after a summer of taking up many ac- tivities such as: painting, fish- ing, or being students them- se ves. lt also prepared them for the coming of a new and exciting year. The breakfast was prepared by the three principals: Dr. Joseph Nelson, Mr. Walt Baker, Dr. Joyce Sloop, and Mrs. Pat Corriher was in charge of the decorating. The purpose of the breakfast was a type of welcome for the new teachers and a welcome back for the regular teaching staff stated Mr. Keith Sutton, Data Processing and Keyboard teacher. The teachers all seemed to enjoy this pleasant time to- gether before getting down to the business of teaching once again. Chevella Lomax Faculty and Staff! 125 si

fgimme Egreak!!! his year, students quickly found out that the best part of being in school was being out of class. Students were of- ten given a break from the routine class- room assignments and were revitalized by the hands-on experiences of field trips. I feel that a field trip every now and then refreshes a student's mind and helps him or her to become more inter- ested in the course. It is also a great so- cial enhancement, commented Chevelle Jones. Although field trips were held to a mini- mum this year, this didn't dampen the spirits of many ecstatic students. I think that since the number of field trips were cut in half, I started to take more advan- tage of this time by concentrating and asking more questions, expressed An- tionette Ford. Many teachers were often enthused whenever a field trip was planned. lt not only gave them a break from their daily planning schedules, but yes, they also learned something new. I think they're great! It's a good learning experience for students. They see things in action instead Of words, suggested Mrs. Wilson. Many students took field trips for granted. Often times fun concealed the hard labor needed for their preparation. The phone calls, the counting of heads, the question of lunch, the arranging for transportation, and the spending of money were all necessary for a success- ful trip. As strange as it may seem, field trips were not all fun and games. Regina Perry Qin!! ,,.,.uqnnnnau: In trouble again. Not really.
