Foreign Break? Where were you during spring break? At the beach? Or skiing in Colorado? Or participating in a wedding? Or just sleeping your life away? While you were at home doing all the things you had planned to do since Christmas break, some of your Classmates were taking aonce-in-a-lifetime opportu- nity to spend their Easter break in a foreign country — England. On March 28, 25 rambunc- tious students and their three brave chaperones headed towards Norfolk In- temational Ainoort to catch their plane to Boston and begin their England adven- ture. After connecting in Boston with their 747 flight, that neither crashed, nor was hijacked, nor lost its pilot, the group landed safely at their destination. Here the adven- ture began. After they met the other students involved in the tour the group began to explore the many historical sights that were offered. The scheduled tour included many of the traditional places such as Big Ben, Parliament, Piccadilly Circus, and Buckingham Palace. The group also visited the Canterbury Cathedral and viewed the blood-stained stone which bore witness to the murder of Thomas a Becket by King Henry ll. Going back to the time of the Romans, the students toured the Roman baths and puzzled over the meaning behind the crea- tion of Stonehenge. The students returned home after more than a week of touring the beautiful sights of England, arriving at Norfolk Intemational Airport with a severe case of jet lag, souvenirs, rolls upon rolls of film, and memories to last a lifetime. 24 England Trip While waiting for the others to arrive, Pam Craig, Kelly Travis, Barbara Moore, Anne Forrest, and Kevin Forrest relaxed at the Gatwick Airport.

Heart Maker Oooouuuccchhh! Dis- gusted, you throw the material and needle on the table and head for the bathroom in search of a Curad. You open the medicine chest and encounter an empty box of Band-aids. Cursing, you run cold water over your finger to stop the bleeding. After a few minutes, you cut off the faucet and stare at the angry wound. You dry your hands and head into the living room to finish sewing, realizing that you couldn‘t possibly prick your finger again. You had already pricked all ten of 26 Sadie Hawkin’s Day them! After tying off the last stitch, you let out a sigh of relief. Stretching, you idly wonder if even Don Johnson was worth all this. Not just the pillow, the whole thing: the fear of rejec- tion, the anxiety, the money, everything! Grabbing the pillow, you put it under your head and settle down for a well-earned rest. Suddenly, you jump up with a start. What if he doesn't like it? Smiling, you lie down again. If he acts like he doesn’t like it, you'll nail it through his back! In AP English class, senior John Klassa programmed the computer to graph functions with “Klass!” At the dance, junior Melissa Frost and her boyfriend Taylor Forrest were decked out in country attire. On Sadie Hawkins day, junior John Morris proudly wore a stylish metallic patch with shoulder strap designed by junior Jill Deaton. The pillow was best in show.
