Par paacC (pactae By Ginger Daniels When people stari coming around asking you to sponsor them for a good cause” you know its time for the Dance Marathon. At last year's twelfth annual mar- athon. there were 110 dancers that started with 42 actually finishing. These people danced their way to $9.ICO.OOto benefit the American Red- Cross and Cancer Society. Activities at last year's marathon included a twist and shout contest, a disco contest, and playing some Gold- en Oldies, along with others. Some teachers actually got on the dance floor to shake their booties and did a pretty good job at that. Special prizes were awarded to Laurie Maschhoff who earned the most total money and to Becky Wach- olz for the most money per hour. Mrs. Baldridge would especially like to thank Mr. Lewis and the local businesses whose help and contribu- tions made last years Dance Mara- thon the success it was! O Dance Marathon

 4 'Tftettt iaMe aurttecy By Monica Carroll TRAILWAYS ... STOP-OVERS RAIN ... STEVE . . GEORGETOWN ... HARE KRISHNAS ... If you wen! on the Junior Trip to Washington last year, you'll know what each of these terms mean and each one holds a different memory of the trip. We started off our six day trip on April 15 at 9:15 a.m. in the front circle. Once everyone got their 36 ton luggage on the bus and found a seat the rest was down- hill. (Certain money-hungry, greedy pool-players (Rick Darnell) might not think sol) After riding for 36 hours, we arrived in Williams burg. Virginia. Williamsburg greeted us with rain. LOTS OF ITIII Willingly, the happy campers went on guided tours of the colony, but not before donning pretty rain coats, hats, dresses, etc. We saw many first-stage American arts, government, even colonial life. Despite the rain, we found things to entertain ourselves. Wil- liamsburg is also the home of William and Mary College one of our countries oldest and finest institutes. At ap proximately 6:30p.m. we checked into the hotel in Wil- liamsburg and were allowed to SHOWER! We even had a pool party! AND. there was a McDonald's next door. The next day. Friday, we left for Washington D.C. We went to the air and space museum, and the Capitol Building was next. Here we saw a live-re-enactment of the Crucifixion of Christ. All this sightseeing made us hungry and tired so we went to the Crystal City. ate. and checked into our hotel in Georgetown! We got to rest awhile and then went on the Illuminated Memorial'' tour which included the “Vietnam Wall . Lincoln Monument. Library of Con- gress and others. Saturday, we visited the White House, (and some of us visited Peace Park!) Vietnam War Memorial. Ar- lington Cemetary. JFK Memorial and finished up with the placing of the wreath on the tomb of the Unknown Soldier by Mary Ann Maxey and Jerry Blanton. We as sembled. climbed on the bus and went to Mt. Vernon. In the meantime, our tour guide. Steve, made dinner reservations for u$ at Alfio's Restaurant. We all got veal, but after Jason told us how it was prepared, no one. not one single person, ate all of it. Off for shopping in Geor getown and visits with Hare Krishna's and Commander Salamanders. Sunday our final day. After breakfast in the hotel, we were allowed six and a half hours to ourselves. Some went to Museums, rode subways, or went to the zoo. while others returned to Georgetown. At 4 p.m. we headed home. Everyone was quiet, and before we knew it (after our many sing-alongs) we were home. It was worth every cent we spent and everyone had a blast. We strongly advise all Juniors to go it's something we ll never forget. Two students were selected to place the wreath on the tomb of the unknown soldier, top Monica Carroll and Kelly Smith, center, smile in their creative ram apparel.
