When School is Out Summer Spells .. . adventure For most students and teachers alike the word “summer” con- jured up pictures of days loung- ing in the sun at the beach, free nights without homework or pa- pers to grade, and a chance to earn some money with a summer job. But for others it meant that a dream would become a reality. Mrs. Bassett’s dream came true when she and her daughter went to Hawaii on their dream vaca- tion. She took hula lessons, picked “boxes’’ of pineapple, found a pearl in an oyster, went on a dinner cruise, and even tried some raw fish. What she enjoyed the most however was the danc- ing and the music. With so many races and cultures Hawaii “truly is a melting pot.” Coach Wilder dreamed of the adventures the Appala- chian Trail offered. He hiked one hundred and ten miles of the trail “because of the chal- lenge.” His original goal was two hundred miles but he says, I got lonely. It was like going back in time to the frontier.” While Coach Wilder enjoyed the adventures of the outdoors, several students enjoyed the adventures of traveling abroad in Europe with Mrs. Lasseter and Mrs. Woodward. They vis- ited Paris, Amsterdam, Swit- zerland, and Germany. While eating European food was a treat, Me Donald’s still re- mained the all time favorite. “We were so sick of bread and rolls after the trip; every day we ate bread!” The American girls made a big impression on the Frenchmen while taking a boat ride through France. But, no va- cation is complete without some- thing going wrong; like the time they were almost left on the train, and in an effort to get off quickly, threw their luggage out the win- dows, using the excuse that someone was hurt to stop the train. Each vacation fulfilled a fan- tasy as well as educating each person. By experiencing other lifestyles and learning things about themselves students and teachers make the special blend that makes Munroe so unique.
