On the road again While some students spent part of their summer working at jobs or re- laxing at the pool, others were enjoy- ing traveling. Senior Sherri Plauche toured Paris and London for five days with Mrs. Barbara Sullivan, social studies teach- er, and five other PHS students. I liked London the best. The peo- ple in Paris were rude, she ex- plained. While in London, Sherri went to Hard Rock Cafe where stars such as Paul McCartney often visit. I had a great time and I would go back to London in a minute, Sherri said. junior Susan Case was part of a group on a 'I6-day trip arranged by Latin teacher Cathy Rodesheimer. The group traveled through England, France, Italy, Austria, Germany, Swit- zerland, Belgium, and Holland. I liked Italy the best, Susan said. The cultural differences were unbe- lievable. I learned to speak a little of each language, she explained. Spaichingen, West Germany, was the destination of senior Ingrid Mayer who traveled with her father and friend to visit her grandmother and uncles. Visits to castles and a cruise on the Rhine River highlight- ed the trip. I learned a little about the Ger- man teenagers. They sit around and act bored like we do, except they have a lot more time to do it in, she explained. Ingrid also visited Switzer- land during her trip. Senior Laurie Pell traveled, but she didn't leave the country. She went to Long Beach, Calif., where she's gone for the past four summers to visit her father. While I'm there I surf, sail, ride bikes, and spend as much time as I Katie Seita and her family stand at the border of Seita Village in Italy where her family origi- nated. 24 Travel can on the beach. I think it would be a great place to live. The people are always nice, and it's always very sun- ny. I would like to continue going to California every summer. The best thing about California is the way they're ahead of us in such things as fashion and music, Laurie said. junior Katie Seita did an interesting thing this summer. She went on a five week trip to Europe to find out the origination of her ancestors. Katie went with her family. I learned to speak French better and I learned a lot about the cultural differences, said Katie. I also learned independence because I had to fly home and go through customs by myself. I had a really good time and it was neat finding out where my family originated, stated Katie. Senior Sherri Plauche stands at attention with a Buckingham Palace Guard in London.

Where do we eat? It was 11:15 and the countdown began. Lunch hour was almost here, Now, where did we go to eat? The cafeteria, serving 300-400 each day, offered the menu of the day or a chef's salad for 85 cents. The open lunch system allowed students to eat at any restaurant. Two of the more popular places to eat were Pizza Place and Hardee's. Prices ranged from S1 for a slice of pizza to 51.69 for a hamburger, fries, and me- dium coke at Hardee's. Students who walked to lunch may also have cho- sen to go to 7-Eleven, Hasty's, the Sub Shoppe fwhere hot dogs were three for 511 or McDonalds. For those who drove, there were more places to select. One might have gone to Pizza Hut, Rax, Rubins, Wendy's or Das Rookhaus. Some students went to Vienna to eat at Burger King, Taco Bell, or Dairy Queen. Then at 12:05, those students who were at first lunch reported to class, while hungry second lunch students began their wait. Senior Women's Club members joan Berry and Kim Waybright like eating lunch at Har- dee's. 26 Lunch lunior Clay Gaida enjoys his french fries at Burger King. Waiting their turn to order in the Big Red Room are seniors Sherri Lower and Becci Ste- phens, The Macke-operated snack bar offers juices, sandwiches, and fries.
