MICHELE Rooney visited Washington, D.C., for one week on an FFA scholarship. She toured the city and visited such places as The Washing- ton Monument and the Smith- sonian Institute. While visit- ing the nation's capitol, she posed with Senator Nancy Kassebaum. NANTUCKET Island was where Denise Miller, below, spent several days of her sum- mer. She was able to combine a summer job with a summer vacation. She was a nanny for a family in Darien, Connecti- cut, but visited New York City and Nantucket. Students vacation world wide Travelers see sights far away and close to home Ah, summer vacation. To some those words meant a job or just a lazy summer around the house. But others decid- ed to leave Troy for a few days or weeks in search of the perfect vacation spot. Jeff Simpson thought he found the dream vaca- tion spot on his seven- day cruise to Alaska on the original Love Boat, the Pacific Prin- cess. He also visited Expo '86 in Vancouver, British Columbia. Bagnell Dam on the Lake of the Ozarks was where Kathy Griffin and her family spent one week of their sum- mer vacation. Besides taking a cruise on the lake, they also toured the dam. It was really neat, and we saw some very big fish, Kathy said of the tour. Touring a Pennsylvania coal mine and visiting Hershey Park were the highlights of Kelli Moore's vacation with her family. They spent nine days in Pennsylva- nia and four driving from Troy and back. Chris Benitz, Tammy Benitz, J.G. Koehler, and Scott Reder spent a week in Washington, D.C. at a youth conven- tion sponsored by the Lutheran Church. I liked everything about the trip except wearing my Kansas T- shirt two days in a row and getting yelled at by a subway conductor, said Scott. Although some students thought vacations pro- vided a little rest and re- laxation, Anna Goss, who took a 17-day tour of Europe disagreed. I slept for two weeks when I got home!

WHILE stopping for a picnic in the park, Kelli Moore and her sister Amy, below, take time to relax and get their feet wet. They visited Her- shey, Pennsylvania, but had to stay in another nearby town since Hershey has no hotels. PARIS, France was just one of the many cities visited by Julie and Anna Goss, right. They went on a 17-day tour of eight European countries. While in Italy, they took a gondola ride through the ca- nals of Venice, and in France they went to the top of the Eifel Tower and took a cruise on the Seine River.

Students keep busy Camps, practices help prepare for year ahead In preparation for the coming school year, many students sacri- ficed part of their summer vacation to attend summer camps to polish their sport's skills or to learn new tricks of the journalism trade. Several girls attended volleyball camp at Highland Communi- ty College, and Tanya Greaser and Julie Goss went to volley- ball camp at Emporia State University. “I had a lot of fun at camp, but I learned a lot also, Tanya said. practices were harder than football because, It seemed like we went non-stop from 3:15 to 5:30, and the pressure was great because we were ex- pected to win ' A relay team of five students and three coaches ran to Atchi- son in preparation for the regional track meet. It's kind of fun. We got to watch people boat on the river because the bus broke down on the way home, Gary Huff said. Sandwiched some- where between all of the sports practices were practices for the all-scnool play, one- act play, and vocal ensembles. We did the all-school play with fewer practices than ever before be- cause of the conflicts in scheduling,” Mrs. Martha-Jean Rockey, director, said. Students kept busy by getting involved, and although it took sacrifices and a lot of extra time, most thought it was worth it. BEFORE going to break- fast, Theresa Wood, right, adjusts her earrings. She was attending FFA camp at Rock Springs Ranch along with Christy Cluck, Den- ise Miller, and Michele Rooney. Theresa also par- tictipated in a photo-jour- nalism camp held at Kan- sas State University. INTENSITY shows on the face of senior Steve Smith, below, as he inbounds the ball during basketball practice. Pre-season condi- tioning began two weeks prior to buffer week for those not out for football. Regular-season practices started in November and continued until March. The yearbook editors, newspaper editor, business manager, and photographers attended journalism camps at Kansas and Kansas State Univer- sities. There they learned new styles of layout and ideas to make copy more in- teresting. I liked meeting new people and making friends, Michael Jasper said of camp. As the school year started, many stu- dents complained that they had too much to do, but some weren't satisfied with just going home after school. They took part in practices for extra-curricular ac- tivities. Sports practices be- gan after school and ended about 5:30 P.M.
