Outward Bound k F airy-tale trips enticed many students and their families from Suffolk during the summer. The trips ranged from exploration of the stalagtite formations in Luray Cav¬ erns to journeying down a Canadian River in an inner tube. The beach ranked “First” as the favorite vacation spot. Nags Head, Virginia Beach or any other sandy spot attracted families in large num¬ bers. But as some sun-worshippers spread their towels on the sand or floated in the salty seas, others visited far off cities and lands. Visiting family or just touring the countryside attracted students to states far and near. The West, Ohio, Colorado and Oregon drew a host of visitors; Amy Howerton, Linda and Julie Ryder, and Jeff Presson. New York, New Jersey and its Eastern neighbors attracted Sharon Jones and Gail Turner. Toronto, Ontario in Canada found visitors from Suffolk in its midst this summer. Scouts from Senior Girl Scout Troop 435 traveled to Can¬ ada for ten days during August. They stayed in Toronto for three days, vis¬ iting the breath-taking Niagara Falls in the process. Then they were off to Girl Guide Camp Doe Lake on Perry Sound. Cold lake water, campfires and new friends awaited them. Angie Matthews, a “new Senior on the trip felt, “I found that I loved flying and I can’t wait to go to England next year.” They returned to Suffolk trav¬ el-weary and with a new insight on our neighbors to the North. Down in a Canadian ravine, Susan Nurncy. Frances Sievcns, and Helen Cornell look for caves. Fires at campsites or on the beaches draw va¬ cationers to its glow. The gas crunch, however, limited distances for everyone. Exciting places closer to home cropped up. For example, Annette Christian vis¬ ited Luray Caverns and Skyline Drive up in Northern Virginia. As Annette put it, “I really missed the excitement of New York, but my family had to make a switch and we saw Luray in¬ stead.” On the other hand a few education¬ al “vacations” awaited a small smat¬ tering of students. The summer began with both Girls’ and Boys’ State re¬ spectively located at Longwood and Lynchburg Colleges. Bob Chapman, who stayed in Jackson City felt, “It was a good experience. I met a lot of people and it taught me quite a bit.” For Edward Adams, the Governor’s School for the Gifted provided more schooling at Mary Baldwin College. Down at Ferrum College a leadership workshop beckoned to Jane Bangley and Nancy Baines in coalition with the Hi-Y club. Fort Monroe in Hampton became the Happy Hunting Ground for the Peer Facilitation group as they attended a two day workshop campout in July. VACATIONS 13
