Then it came. Finally, . . . Friday, 5:15, five minutes to go, and then it would be time for . . . The Great Escape! Students couldn't wait to break out from behind the school walls and put the wonies and pres- sures of homework, tests, and term papers out of their minds. Now, the plans for the week to come were top prior- ity. It was the beginning of fun, parties, rest, and relax- ation! Whether students stayed home or skipped tomm, ev- eryone was going to enjoy their time off for good be- havior. Between sunning on the beach or skiing on the slopes, students scattered, leaving T-Tovrm as a dot on the map. Some of the most popular destinations were the slopes of Colorado and New Mexico. For Susan Mohundro, the memories of her last high school Spring Break were of people and parties. I had so much fun. I met so many people, the skiing was great, and the parties were the best, she said. lt was just the break I needed. For many students, Winter Park, Colorado, was the best place to spend their time. Then there were those who didn't go just for the skiing. According to Stacey Hailey, the whole week was like one big party with everyone in Winterpark! Leigh Ann Fincher had her ovlm thoughts about the week. lt was like being out of jail: now I know what it's like to be on parole, she said. But, Colorado wasn't the only place that drew the ski crowd. I've skiied a lot of places, but I like Taos the best because it has a lot of hard slopes, said Paige Henson. However, the slopes didn't attract everyone: many peo- ple left for warmer climates. Ed Zidd headed south to visit Padre Island, Mexico, and Austin. 'lAfter laying out on the beach in Padre and danc- ing in the discos in Mexico, it was hard to go from 95 to snow in Dallas, he said. Phyllis Tipton saw every- thing from the Golden Gate Bridge to the Red Wood For- est during her trip to Califor- nia. And after visiting Beverly Hills, Universal Studios, and the beach, all Ronda Cole- man had to say was, ul wish I could be a Califomia Girl! Not everyone left the state of Texas. Some visited col- lege campuses, and there were some who stayed in Texarkana. For Dosha Hall and Matt Fellinger, the week off might have been relaxing but it was not much fun. These two were in the hospi- tal to have their tonsils re- moved. 'XAII I could eat was potato soup, jello, and ice cream, and I lived in the recliner with the TV Guide by my side, she said. But not everyone spent time at home recuperating. Some just bummed around and goofed off. And for those guys who stayed home be- cause of baseball, they seemed to find a few other things to do. According to Craig Schulz, he and some of his friends, killed a little bit of free time at the lake and caught a few catfish. Between the long sighs from having to come back to school, stories of Spring Break filled the air: Skiing was great! The beach was better. 'iYou'll never guess who I met! You won't be- lieve who I saw! We par- tied all week long! You should have been there! Spring Break 55
