FBECQYUENT FLYEFRS reedom found for the lucky few Iourneying anywhere and almost everywhere from Dallas to Spain, time travelers took well- deserved breaks and substituted a trip for the routines of school. Yearbook and newspaper staffers joined other journalists, discovering creative activities for fun on educational trips. We went from store to store at the Galleria in Dallas, borrow- ing certain items of interest for indefinite periods of time, fresh- man Katie Gilmour said. Spanish club members also dedicated some of their energies to having a good time and at the same time put their speaking skills to practical use. We went to Spain this sum- mer and spent our time going to Burger King and discos at night, junior Sheryl Woomer said. I progressed to a point where I could speak fluently. Despite sharing their travels with unwanted company, band members found ways to enjoy themselves too, exploring places like Lake Charles, Louisiana. A group of band parents goes with us on our trips, junior Les Brooks said. If you can avoid them, the trips are a lot of fun. Providing a rare reprieve from scholastic monotony, aca- demically-related organizations traveled a long way for education. . if fl . 'f W , WORLD'S'BEST.

OFHLD H IES TOUIE ith clubs, members jet-set From boarding school buses to flying the friendly skies, trav- elling club members sought and found fun and friendships with fellow members and those they met along the way. We didn't travel this year except to away games, senior Claudine DeFelice said. But, it was a good way for the group to get to know each other and de- velop friendships to last the year. Other clubs, such as journal- ism, ventured beyond the district for comraderie with other club members and competition against other staffs. The journalism staff won honors at every conference they travelled to, including the National Pacemaker awards for both the newspaper and the Year- book, presented in Kansas City. This year we went to San Fransisco, Kansas City, Dallas and Myrtle Beach. These trips are great because you really get to know the people in journalism, and you work better with those ON THE ROAD AGAIN.

In San Fransisco we saw an Oakland A's game, rode cable cars, went to Alcatraz and picked-up awards. Some wordly groups made traditions of their journeys by going anually. The choir travelled to their yearly fall and spring re- treats and the Madrigals jour- neyed to China for the summer. T his year we went to a ranch in the fall and Corpus Christi in the spring. Retreats are great fun since the people in choir are really close, senior Kanen Kocks said. Traveling afforded club members a chance to take home new friendships with fellow ex- plorers, national honors and memories of fun to last a lifetime. BRIGHT LIGHTS, BIG CITY.
