Escape! Get Away ...Hy .0 for a Day a 1 l I e v e r wanted . . . Vacation . . . had to get away Or so the popular song says, and it seems to reflect the feelings of many students about summer break. Whether getting away from home and parents or just the humdrum schedule of everyday life, almost everyone spends their vaca- tion trying to escape something. Padre is the most popular retreat. Tri-Hi-Ys begin fundraisers for the big event early in the year, and friends begin in winter to make reservations for hotel rooms and condos. It was wild,'l said senior Julie Gaut, We all stayed in a hotel, ten of us. It was co-ed. 'tIt's a week to get away from parents and hassles of everyday life, claimed senior Andy Levine. Senior Kevin O'Donnell described it as a week long party that happens once a year. Other students looked farther away for their great escapes. The orchestra took a two week tour of Austria and Germany, playing six concerts on the way in July. Some stayed on for an extra week in Switzerland as well. I got a taste of lots of cultures just by meeting the people at the contests, said senior John Stahl. The people were really nice,'l com- mented sophomore Hilary Haynie, When you try to speak German, they or a Month or 2! help you. All of the cars were better over there, added S t a h l , 6 ' A Mercedes-Benz is as common as a Chevrolet here.', Eighteen other students from Berkner, Lake Highlands, Pearce, and Richardson high schools went with French teacher Mrs. Virginia Horner on a 35 day tour of Germany, Austria, Italy, France, Switzerland, Monaco and England. They had no ice, exclaimed senior Kim Welch of the trip, The coldest drink was the white wine. The best looking guys are in Rome, confided senior Liz Greenleaf, but I got to see Prince Charles in London. You learn to work with other people and communicate so you can understand each other, said junior Mary Reid, It was a very enriching trip? There are even students who find an escape in their work over the summer. I worked for my dad, admitted sophomore Laura Frederick, I was the cheapest worker he could findln I got to be really good friends with some of the regular customers, volunteered senior Jaqua Crossman of her job at the Cheese Shop. Crossman summed up summer as a time to spend with your friends and to sleep late! - Melissa Hartman, Masae Koezuka Vacations Performing at a lodging in the countryside outside of Salzburg, the Symphony Orchestra entertains audiences visiting from Canada and Kansas City during the orchestra's trip to Europe. www 2 ff
