Gina Tolleson and Candy McMeans disem- bark their ship as they arrive in the Bahamas. New York life seems to have affected GEE stu- dents Mike Messel, Kirk Campbell, Mike Brock, and Key Holloway. Overlooking Heidelberg from the castle locat- ed there is Cindy Lyda. Cavaliers Going Like Never Before Cavaliers going like never before makes a clear reference to students of today. They tend to be absent from home whenever possible. Students stay gone from home so much that the label going here-going there is ap- propriate. Some students, though, have had the opportunity to do more going than others. During the spring holidays of 1984, the Spanish Club, along with Mrs. Laura White, set sail for the Bahamas. Also, the GEE classes took a trip to New York during spring holidays of 1984. These groups took trips to ex- pand their cultural knowledge. During the spring, Mrs. Sandra Brock- man and Mrs. Susan Norris also took a group of students to Europe. They saw the sights in London, Lucerne, and Hei- delberg. They were able to expand their worldwide cultural knowledge. Brian Cooper spent his entire summer serving as a member of Teen Missions International, an organization that goes to other countries and helps them build churches and expands their overall knowledge of God. Brian worked in Kenya and Israel. He is an- other student who is going like never before. This year the Student Council mem- bers planned a trip to New York for the spring holidays. The band took a trip to Walt Disney World during the election day break. Also, another trip is planned to Europe. This trip is planned for sum- mer and is under the direction of Mrs. Brenda Bishop. Dorman students thus are continuing the trend of travel that has been set Mrs. Susan Burdine planned the GEE trip to New York to further increase the knowledge her students were learning from their performing arts unit. As Jen- nifer Floyd says, I am glad Mrs. Burdine gave me the opportunity to see a Broadway show in New York. Providing the opportunity for stu- dents to travel is just one of the many reasons Dorman is the Pride of the westside. 10 Cultural Trips

Argentina and Mexico. 16 years Everyday life is very different. In Argentina and Mexico one can walk the streets at night and enjoy the sites of the city. Marcelo Guzman A Close-Up Look At A Small World Upon entering Dorman, one would see many people, people with varied facial expressions, hair coloring, and clothing styles. If one were to examine these people more closely and listen to their voices, a realization would occur: a realization that not all students dre simply born and raised in Spar- tanburg. nor are all students born and raised within the Stdtes. Some were born overseas while their par- ents were in the service. However, others were born in a foreign country and lived pdrt of their lives there. These people give Dorman a rich cultural heritage. They have had to adapt to neW customs and for some, a new lan- guage. George Jannack is from Sydney. Australia. He lived there for seven years. A vast difference exists be- tween Austrolia and Spartanburg in the way of football. Australians play football on a circular field and do not wear protective gear. Aus- tralians also use a scoring system of one. two. or four points. Another person with foreign heri- tage is Anja Krammer. She is from Austria and lived there for six years of her life. She says that the most noticeable difference is thdt Aus- trian teenagers do not grow up on junk food; instead, they eat deli- cotessan food. Liem Nguyen escaped from Vietnam, along with his father and brother Lam because Vietnam was being taken over by Commu- nism. Their means of escape was on a boat from which they were picked up by a larger boat and brought to America. Dorman's cultural heritage spans from England to Spain to Korea. Each link helps to shape Dorman's cultural heritage. The students with foreign heri- tages fulfill a special place in the makeup of the school. Dorman is proud to have its special represen- tatives. 12 Cultural People
