By Craig Morton and Monica Carroll All they know is Communism and so they really don't miss having all the things that we have,” commented one of the Southern Illinois basketball team representing the USA on a trip to Russia. The trip took place July $-17. 1987 and was chaperoned by Jim Corrona. former SCHS basketball coach. During the trip, they visited Minx, Lenigrad. and Moscow, playing one game in each city. Team members were impressed with unusually old cities, clothes, and food that included goose liver, goat meat, and cucumbers. There were no tourist shops or restaurants. The group never felt threatened and had a very good time. Trips 15

 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.

 l s ctara 7a6e tctco i By: Soundhra Lakshmanan What does it take for students to become actors? Desire, good obser- vation skill, and hard work were the three major areas stressed by Mr. Middleton, play director. These three characteristics are exactly what make up the cast for this year's play. See How They Run. The play is a British farce with plenty of fast action, rapid fire dia- logue. ridiculous characters, mistaken identity, and just plain fun. The play was first produced in 1949 in London. England, and is from in that time peri- od. The tryouts for the play were held January II and 12. However, the actual performances will be held to- ward the last weekend in March. One might ask. why almost two months of practice for just a school play?” It takes this long because students need plenty of patience and practice to learn their parts. By the end of March the cast will have practiced almost 93 hoursl The student director is Karen Thompson and the technical assis- tants are Kevin Wallace and Eric Wat- ers. The following students were cho- sen as cast: Beth Bashum: Kristi Bee- son: Eli Braden: Monica Carroll: Julie Chitty: Steve Cone: Ricky Daniels: Terrell Doolen: Shawn Donoho: Melin- da Evans: Dan Helpingstine: Emiley Morris: Joe Puffer: Derek Stevens: and Jimmy Tucker. Middleton has been directing plays at SCHS for five years. When asked to sum up the play in one word he replied. Hilarious! 16 Plsy
