Vicky Pickens traveled to Wyoming this summer on a youth choir trip. Sterling and Shannon Slaven went, too. The trip took us all over Wyoming, including Yellowstone Park and Old Faithful. We mostly traveled from place to place and sang, said Vicky. “I'll al- ways remember the beauti- ful scenery. The final voyage of the summer found Christa Kittle and 350 other 4-H teen- agers in Washington, D.C. They came from eight dif- ferent states to the National 4-H Center in Chevy Chase, MD, about eight blocks from D.C. We got to see the Lincoln Memori- al, Botanical Gardens and the Vietnam Memorial, to name just a few. The most exciting moment was when George Bush was at the same concert we were, and he waved back at us when we waved. Christa said the Washington Monument was really neat because you could see it no matter where you went in Washington. Of the trip as a whole, she said, It was like a dream. I still can't believe 1 was real- ly there. As the travelers look back to the summer of '85, they'll be filled with many fond memories. These travels brought and will continue to bring new perspectives to a small town in southwest Kansas. Towering over the city oi lights. the Eiffel Tower is easily recognized. A reminder ol the lives tak- en in Vietnam, the Vietnam Memorial stands proudly in D.C. Lincoln's majestic power reigns over his memorial in Washington, D.C. Trips 13

Scott said, “I'd go back if I could. Venturing back to the good old U.S.A., several students made trips to other states during the summer of '85. The Slavens went to Florida. Everything's fun! was Sterling's opinion of their trip. Their anticipation of seeing the space shuttle Columbia take off turned to disappointment when a problem stopped the count- down with three seconds re- maining. That was prob- ably the most dissapointing thing. Overall we had an excellent trip. We had lots of fun, he said. 12 Trips

pirit Week New Activities Boost Participation Monday, October 23, 1985 — 8:10 a.m. Students are just starting to wander in for another long week of school. But there is something unusual about these kids. They're all wearing trenchcoats, as if they are hiding something TOPSECRET. Could it be spirit they're hid- ing? Yes, it is spirit, and lots of it!!! Something was different about homecoming. Many said it was school spirit, a few said it was the beautiful weather, but we all agreed that something was stirring in the air. Each day was assigned a different dress code: Monday- trenchcoat and flasher day; Tuesday-beach bum day; Wednesday-sweats day; Thursday-color day and Friday- dress to kill day. All the days had good participation and prizes were awarded for the best costumes. Stuco sponsored a volleyball tournament. Each class was allowed two teams. The seniors won first with the juniors coming in second. All classes participated and the spirit of competition prevailed. Thursday night was the traditional pep rally. The high- light that night was watching the homecoming escorts feed the queen candidates banana splits. Coach Liebelt called all the football players down and the six seniors told every- one they were going to kick some hooter. The rally ended with the school song and a loud cheer from the football team. The captains olthe volleyball team, Elisa Stalker and Stacey Wilson, explain to the crowd the team's plans lor the following Tuesday. Elisa Stalker. Tammy Troutt, Stacey Wilson.
