One of the pleasantest things in the world is going on ajourney, But I like to go by myself - Hazlitt journeys signify movement and change and they necessarily involve people. School is the natural starting point for many journeys, whether they be move- ments toward knowledge, toward the outside world or toward making friends and finding a place among fellow stu- dents. People move and change in different ways. There are field trips, such as the English trip to see the movie 200'l , the annual excursions to the Shelburne Mu- seum and the biology trip to Camel's Hump. Sports teams cover the area thor- oughly traveling to away events, and a number of juniors and seniors attend classes at the Vocational Center in Mid- dlebury each day. Students travel as far away as France and Montreal, and stick as close to home as a 7th period jaunt up- street, or a price-checking trip to the local supermarket. Senior Learning Experience Week was initiated this year to encourage stu- dents in their last year to move outside the school walls and learn through direct experience with a new environment. Those who participated had to plan and finance their trip, and evaluate its success. School is also a journey into the mind, and thoughts wander in every direction, dipping into knowledge, daydreams, sleep, conversation and controversy. Minds and bodies are somehow being prepared for after-high school journeys, and either consciously or unconsciously we are moving toward new realizations, the discovery of new friends and different ways of life. We are looking inside and outside of ourselves, expanding and growing.
