' llama-Up M The Capita! Scattered throughout the San Jose International Airport, an assembly of 17 San Benito High students were ready to take on Washington D.C., and the historically renovated col- onial town, Williamsburg, Virginia. After participating in such fundraising projects as flower sales, a car wash, a rummage sale, and an enchilada sale, the group took off for one full week of adventure and ex- citement. The Close Up staff took more than 200 students from California, Utah, Wisconsin, Alabama, and Louisiana on sight-seeing excursions and to restaurants for lunches and dinners. The group listened to speakers in seminars and then had the chance to ask questions. In Williamsburg, Virginia, the Close-Up participants feasted on a seven-course meal in a col- onial tavern, observed a mock trial, and took guid- ed tours throughout the ci- ty. On another day, back in Washington D.C., the group sat in on a Supreme Court case, which, when the final verdict is decid- ed, will set a precedent on all future cases, involving the disease Tuberculosis. On Friday, Washington D.C. was invaded by the Close-Up students. The San Benito High students, along with new friends they had met, hailed taxis intent for Georgetown University and time for shopping. We practically jumped out of our taxis, ready to shop, Junior Armi Fer- rer said. Shopping on the East Coast presented us with a different at- mosphere than in Califor- nia. The shops were total- ly unique! Later that same after- noon, the students met at the Old Executive Office Building next to the White House. The building holds offices for the Vice- President of the U.S. The Close-Up members then went outside to the White House Lawn and watched as ABC, NBC, and CBS taped their night- ly newscasts. The week closed with a banquet at the Marriot Hotel, a talent show and a great dance, which lasted until 1 a.m. Even after four trips to Washington D. C. with Close-Up students, Ad- visor Louise Hall said she still enjoyed the ex- perience. The week was one we'll never forget. said Senior Rich Pascual. -Denise Lopez 106 Choa-Up
