I SIX FLAGS r-ien 4 maLe for apeciafcfay hat have you got when you put about 270 seniors on six Greyhound buses with head- phones, ding dongs, donuts, Jolt cola, jam boxes, pillows, ice chests, sunglasses, cameras, and only two weeks until graduation? An unforgetable twenty one hours to Six Flags and back. On May 16th, the graduating class lived through such an experience and came home with new memories of strange and funny things that happened and bunches of pictures to re- mind them years from naw. The best part of the whole trip for me was when the seniors took over the Shock Wave! said Kristy Cordes, lt was so fun because there were about twenty five of us and we were already late getting back to the bus to leave! But we didn't care and wejust kept singing and cracking up. The lines QOT really long for some rides because so many people would cut. But it was alright usually because you gat to know the people you were in line with, said Jimmy Chankin. When conversations didn't help anymore, some frustrated seniors decided to get away from the lines to hit the game booths and try their luck there. I think the most fun I had all day was laughing at Ross Pfeifer while he spent over thirty dollars trying to win a stuffed Spuds Mackenzie dogl said Scott Jasephson, I think he felt a little better though after he finally won a stuffed basketball. Cooling aff after being in the hot sun was no problem with the many water rides that no matter how hard you tried, left you drenched. But getting completely drenched was never so much fun-if you were not wearing white-and just about everyone was at one time slashing around laughing and exclaiming, I can't believe I QOT this wetl I made the biggest mistake getting on the log ride with Nick Contiel Expresses Tracy Geisler, He sat in the back ofthe log and threw water on me during the entire ride. When we got off, everyone in line was laughing because I was so wet! 'K 3 'i sm s 'tmp Six hours on a bus can get really boring but some people made the best of it in dif- ferent ways. My friends and I played hearts all the way up there, said Julia McAuley, But it got really grass when some body spilled Sprite and it got everywhere! Then there were some peo- ple who actually tried to sleep even with all the noise and that curious smell coming from the back ofthe bus. I tried so hard to sleep but everytime I thought I had finally found a comfanable position my leg would fall asleep, said Tracy Geisler. Get- ting up that morning was the hardest part for quite a few who had just had a long nigt an the town. It was an unforgettable day and everyone agreed that being with friends all day knowing that very soon many would not be around like they always had, made the day even more special. Andrea Smith walking all over the many acres of Six Flags can be exhausting. Bubba Gall and Chris Hlghtchew take a break before they set out for new adventures. Mark Hoelscher, Andrea Smith, Jimmy Chankin, and Yolanda Bain smile for the camera while they walt to set off on a log ride.
