FZYWE FR I For many, going to a foreign country was something that hap- pened once in a lifetime, if ever. Most students whose parents worked for the airlines were a dif- ferent story. I feel I have an ad- vantage over other kids because I have been able to experience so much more of the culture of the world than most people will ever be able to experience, said Glenn Adolph, senior. Perhaps one of the reasons such a large majority of the students had parents who worked for the airlines was due to the fact thatTWA's overhaul base was based in Kansas City. It was also due to the near- ness of the airport to the school. Although it may have sounded '3:5:5:1i3:'4'2:I24gZ?2:7:32:f:1:2:5:?:T:Z1:1:i:-:-:3:i:5:kZf:?4f:1 5fii'. . -1?-1 d5:Q ' - ' 5-in - -ZA -'-:gig Wil I great to be able to fly anywhere free, there were disadvantages. Getting bumped is a disadvantage. When flying, we are influenced by the weather, because we can easily get stranded in it, sometimes for a week or more, said Adolph. Be- fore getting on the flight, they first had to wait and see if it was full. If it was, they had to wait for another flight. They were on stand-by. Pay- ing customers had the advantage over them in this case. Many students whose parents were airline employees rarely went out of the country, if ever, while others went many times. I don't travel very often because of the added expense, said Paige Crews, SCI1i0r. El by Rebekah Zeider IGNS IlI-II III Pretend you're traveling down the highway. You look at the rear window of the car in front of you and what do you see? It seemed everywhere you looked those little yellow signs were there. They were on cars' rear windows as well as students' lockers. Approximately three out of four cars I pass have them in the win- dow,', said Scott Allen, senior. One of the most popular sayings was Baby on Board. Perhaps those who had these signs in their windows thought motorists would be more careful around their car. Other popular sayings included Is it Almost Friday?,', Swimmer on Board, and Jogger on Board, just to name a few. I think the sayings on the signs reflect the personality of the persons who have themj, senior Shannon Padley said. Even though these little signs may have been a little annoying at times, they did have a positive side. It is something different to look at instead of the same bumper stickers, said Pedley. 5 by Rebekah Zeider Q 4 tudi to returne. 26.

Snow Creek opened for its first season of skiing. It had nine runs that ranged in degree of difficulty. Plus, it had two chair lifts and two tow ropes. It offered both beginning and advanced skiing lessons. Unfortunatley, many people did not take them, and just tried to learn by themselves. Senior Marc Vance skiied for the first time at Snow Creek. I never got off the lift even one time without falling, said Vance. Not only was it open seven days a week, but on Friday and Saturday nights they offered an all night session from midnight to 6 am. The slopes were well lit so skiiers could see. Junior Keenie Lynn who had previously skiied in Colorado, skiied for the first time at night at Snow Creek. Skiing at night is a lot of fun, but it's harder to see the mogulsg' and it's a lot colder too, explained Lynn Although it wasn't the same as the Colorado moutains, Snow Creek was the next best thing for weekend fun. tj by Jackie Green kiing at Snow Creek was a new attraction for Park Hill students, es- pecially since it was nearby.

Photo by Stuart Radford CHCOL RIPS Many people, not just children have a reaction of wonder and amazement when traveling to a place or country where they have never been before. People, in general, are impressed when they discover a new and different culture. It has been my dream since I was a little girl to go to France, said Bethanne Arnold, senior. Mr. George Stewart, language arts teacher, Mrs. Joyce Stewart, French teacher, Mr. Bob Packett, social studies teacher, Ms. Cindy Newbill, foreign language teacher, and Mr. Michael Newburger, substitute, took students to France. I think it's the crowning moment for students who have taken a foreign language, to go to the country in which that language was born, said Mrs. Stewart. Normally, the French trip was taken over Easter but due to the shortened vacation, it was necessary to move the trip to another date. ERSDNALIZED LATES In order to drive a car, it is nec- essary to have license plates. Since many had to pay for them out of their own pockets, they decided to get personalized plates. Walking through the parking lot, you could see many different sayings on the license plates. Reasons for the sayings varied. My parents did this for my six- teenth birthday, said Jill Hunley, junior. Hunley's plate read JILL According to Debbie Beaman, senior, she didn't really have a reason for the saying HOT-ONE on her license plate. She just liked ll. One of the most popular sayings printed on the license plate was the owner's name. Others reflected the personality of the owner. Also, many students had sayings that had to do with an activity they were in- volved with at school. For example, swimmer Eric Ben- son, junior, had plates which proclaimed SWIM-88 , The process for obtaining the plates was simple, but it could take quite a long time to receive them. 6'You send an order form with three choices. Sometimes you canat get any of your choices, so you keep sending them in until they work, said Hunley. These order forms were mailed to Jefferson City. It takes about six weeks to get a response, said Beaman. When the response was retumed, it said if the driver got his first, sec- ond, or third choice. The price for the license was S12 in addition to the basic license fee. Having these personalized license plates was the in thing to do. Also, it made it easier to remember the license plate numberljby Rebekah Zeider The tour lasted nine days, from June 8 to 16. For the first time in approximately 12 years, visas were necessary due to the recent terrorism. The students who took Spanish had the opportunity to go to Mexi- co. I'm excited about going because it's a chance to get away from home and also, to see how other people live, said Jennifer Henry, senior. Mrs. Haber, Mrs. Rosa Stein and Mrs. Nancy Perry, Spanish teachers, accompanied stu- dents on this trip. Back in the U.S., Winter Park, CO was the scene for the annual Ski Bum trip. Students left Jan. 21 and returned in time to start sec- ond semester classes. Mr. Jim Ev- ans, social science teacher, and Ms. Donna Redden, science teacher, chaperoned the students. For those who went on these trips, it was an experience thev would never forget. EI by Rebekah Zeider M1 n z- m ag ZW fra
