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.

What’s New Classes, People,and Trends Always Grow Old and Comfortable “Who’s the new student?”, “Have you heard we're having a new Christmas Formal Dance?” The year brought new students, new trends in clothes, new tapes, and even new classes. New students are always ex- pected, and the Student Coun- cil had a luncheon to welcome many of the over forty new students. Giving the school a new look was an “over Christmas” proj- ect. The walls were repainted and the teacher’s lounge re- ceived carpeting. Mrs. Bassett moved into her new office, complete with a fancy waiting area, during early February. Other remodeling news in- cluded the announcement of air conditioning for the main building. Art became an added elec- tive class, taught by Mrs. Lind- strom. Over twenty students enrolled and several entered county and state wide contests. Anything from perspective drawing and “junk” sketches to printing their work gave each new appreciation for creativity. School was not the only area bombarded by an array of new and interesting ideas. Nerds ce- real could now be found as a part of one’s well balanced breakfast. 7-Up now included a cherry fla- vor, and was classified as “cool” and pink”, and Diet Sprite intro- duced a new look with a green and white can. New, old and comfortable. The Christmas Dance became the “first annual”, the new faces grew familiar, the paint lost its odor, and art became an accepted and appreciated hall display. Tiffany tapes, Lollery tickets, and “Colors” perfume by Benetton are just a few of the must-have” items on fashion- conscious students bulletin board. What’s New 29
