That ' s Italian ' For 5 Senior Girls Mrs. Terry Nelson and a group of Yorktown students took a break from American ways and traveled to the Eu- ropean countries of Switzer- land and Italy. These coun- tries were toured during Spring Break 1984. The students who partici- pated were Seniors Amy Hammersley, Carol Cooper, Deena Bourne, Renee Wil- liams, Dawn Cooper, Diana Vise, a 1982 Yorktown gra- duate, and Toni Smalley, Mrs. Nelson ' s cousin from Los An- geles. Some of the cities toured in- cluded Verona, where Romeo and Juliet lived; the Leaning Tower in Pisa, Florence, and Rome, where the Vatican is located. In Venice, everyone thought we were famous bas- ketball players because we had on our matching Episode shirts. They asked ' You bas- ketball player? ' and we an- swered, ' Oh, yes, yes, ' com- mented Dawn Cooper. For entertainment, the group went to a disco called Space Electronic, in Flor- ence. It was fun because it was just like American Bandstand. It was also fun because it was funny watching how the other people danced. The Italian women didn ' t move much, but all us American chicks really brought the house down. stated Carol Cooper. In closing, Amy Hammersly commented, Europe was very, very good to me! Arrivederci per sempre! Anticipating their flight to Zurich Switzerland, are Terry Nelson. Carol Cooper. Renee Williams, Amy Hammersley, Dawn Cooper and Deena Bourne. Spring Break 2S
