Over Spring break, a group of seven McHenry high -school students and their sponsors, Ms. Meding and Ms. Everitt, toured France and England. Recently the travelers got together to share pizza, pictures, and their memories of the trip. After remembering their first transatlantic flight and their ejcperience of waiting in an ajrportA for a connecting flrght,-4he students relived their first steps on foreign soil. Their first day in Paris was filled with new sights and tastes. After a con­ tinental breakfast "A la Francaise," the students were ready for a full day of sightseeing. They really believed they were in France when they saw the Eiffel tower. They could not get over how tall it really was and how beaiutiful a steel structure could be. Feeling truly Parisian, the group enjoyed the sights of| the Arch of Triumph with its • tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the exciting avenue of Champs Elysees, Con­ corde Square, Napoleon's tomb, the Opera House, and the famous Latin Quarter. Vivid in their memories are their visits to the Louvre museum and theNotre Dame cathedral. At the Louvre, they were awed by such works as the Mona Lisa, the Venus de Milo. and the CROWDS ARE JAMMING THEIR WAY IN FOR THIS GREAT SALE NOW GOING ON! THANKS FOLKS!

The next day the students had time to shop, visit their favorite spots, and take in the French atmosphere. They also delighted in eating truly French omelettes, crepes and pastries. Their day was highlighted by a night tour of Paris', and a cruise down the Seine river on a Bateau Mouche. The students enjoyed seeing the historical sights lit up as well as getting to know their fellow American students also on the tour. The splendor of 17th century French royalty was brought to life with their visit to the Palace of Ver­ sailles built by Louis XIV. They wandered through the royal salons and bed chambers and walked through the historic Hall of Mirrors. After a lunch at a local cafe, the group was off to Chartres Cathedral, reknowned for its stained glass windows. After spending the night in Rouen, the students explored this Normandy town known for its gothic cathedral and 14th century clock and as the famous site where Joan of Arc was burned at the stake. From Rouen the students traveled to the port city of Dieppe, where they departed to England via a ferry. After a grueling five-hour crossing, tjhe group debarked at New Haven and proceded by bus to their residence outside London. Their next day was filled with more exciting sites, such as Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square, Piccidilly Circus, No. 10 Downing street, and the Parliament buildings with Big Ben. The students had an opportunity to visit the historic West­ minister Abbey and St. Paul's Cathedral, both of which contain memorials to people famous in American history and art. Their London tour was highlighted by a visit to the famous Tower of London, where they were entranced by stories of betrayal and beheadings and were awed by the splendor of the Crown Jewels of England. The next day was started by a trip to Windsor Castle, one of the three residences of the Queen. In the afternoon the students had time to wander and shop in the quaint village of Richmond. Their last evening in England was spent in the famous Shakespeare's Tavern where they were treated to a medieval feast and entertainment by troubadours, jugglers, magicians and fight scenes from Shakesperean plays, The tour ended with a last minute shopping spree in the morning before the group departed for Chicago. When asked about their trip, the travelers respon­ ded: Jill Hutchinson - "I was impressed with the magnificent architecture of the buildings and monuments and in what good condition they (the foreign governments) keep them." Kelly Swedo - "Although I enjoyed the whole tour and was impressed by m$ny things, London was favorite city." Barbara DeVivo - "The whole trip was full of new experiences for me and I encourage everyone to travel." Joe Mroz - "Love France because I got an opportunity to practice my French and people could actually un­ derstand me," Mark Popelka - "The whole trip was excellent and I want to go overseas again next year." Sue Malenius - "I enjoyed learning about the different customs in England and France. I was especially impressed by the Eiffel Tower, Big Ben and St. Paul's cathedral. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole tour." Lisa Boeka - "It was a lot of fun and I learned a lot. I would suggest a trip of this kind for anyone who has p chance. I'll do it again if I have the chance." Ms. Meding and Ms. Everitt • "We feel that, the trip was an enriching ex­ perience for all of us and we are proud of the way our students represented McHenry high school and America. We believe the students gained a greater appreciation of not only the foreign cultures but also our own. We hope to be able to sponsor another trip in the future.
