Whenever students go on a field trip, especially on a Saturday, they always seem to have to be at school before the sun even comes up. But c en with good-humored grumbling, everyone shows, and on time. With the new educational reforms, many trips took place after school and on Saturday, even if the trip was completely educational. Some of the trips taken were the annual band trip in the spring, a trip to Baylor Medical School by the biology I! students, the Renaissance Festival by the G T English students, and state con- ventions by the various clubs, including Key Club, Anchor Club, VICA, DECA and VOE. In order to participate in a state workshop, yearbook editors flew to Dallas in October. Spanish Club students participated in a Pan American conference and competitions associated with the meetings. G T students attended the Renaissance Festival in East Texas last fall. According to Sheri Holcombe, the bus trip was almost as much fun as the festival. Jenny Benco enjoyed the sights at the Renaissance Festival, even if she wasn ' t as tall as some of the participants. Many sights and sounds greeted the Renaissance 4-rii visitors, including a brass quintet. Students met at school early one Saturday in order to take the trip. Academics Field Trips 253
