Time out Fun in the sun Rest, relaxation, sun and plenty of fun were on the minds of Valparaiso High School students as their vacationing plans for spring break unfolded. According to a random survey of 152 VHS students, plans for the one- week vacation were diverse. Southern states — particularly Florida — seemed to be the most popular destinations for VHS students. “During spring break, we went to Flori- da,” said junior John Newlin. “It was cloudy most of the time, but at the end of the week we had some nice weather.” While it may have been cloudy at times in Florida, students reported that the weath- er “out west” was better. “Spring break in Phoenix was the best! The weather was in the 90’s,” said senior Jessica Hofferth. School-related trips also influenced VHS students’ vacation plans. Under the guidance of English teacher Mrs. Judith Lebryk and F rench teacher Mrs. Carolyn Hardebeck, 35 students and faculty members toured England “to experience the English culture,” explained Lebryk. The group stayed in London, Stratford, Edinburg and York. In addition, students visited Oxford, Lake District and Cam- bridge. While English students traveled north, 56 junior and senior band members journeyed west to California. During their week-long stay, they marched at Disneyland and Knotts Berry Farm, in addition to giving a concert at Londontown. Other highlights in- cluded tours of Universal Studios and Mari- na Del Ray, as well as a trip to the Crystal Cathedral to see the play “The Glory of Eas- ter.” Although many students claimed to have experienced “fun in the sun” over spring break, others were not so lucky. Some stu- dents stayed in town to work extra hours for their employers, and dedicated VHS ath- letes used the time to train. Sophomore Paul Sarafin explained, “During spring break, I went to the cleat house every day for two hours and worked out with the weights.” Whether they were working on their tans on an exotic beach in Florida or in their own back yards, students agreed that spring break really was a break from the pressures of school. by Karen Mutka and Stacy Stonebraker THOUGH OFTEN CONFUSED with the London Bridge,” the “Tower Bridge serves as a true London landmark.
