■ ,.£AGE-.ilfc. ADVENTURES ABROAD I®ve been asked to tell you about my trip to Greece and Romeo To begin with, .it was a thrill—an experience beyond my wildest dreams, I really didn®t believe I was going until I got off the plane in Athens, Greece, I saw the Acropolis with its Parthenon, I saw the Theatre of Dionysos, the Arch of Hadrian, the Temple of Zeus, and I could go on and on. After leaving Greece, it was on to Rome to see Vatican City with the Sistine Chapel, I also visited the ruins of the Roman foinim, the Circus Maximus, the Catacombs where the Christians buried their dead, the Colliseum, and other points of interest. After being there and coming back home, I have realized that there®s more to an experience like mine than just the sights. It®s really difficult to describe all I saw, I can say, ’*0h, the Sistine Chapel was just lovely!”, but con^ared to the privilege of actually visiting the Sistine Chapel, I®ve said nothing. My adventure was more of a feeling than it was sights. When I walked into the Sistine Chapel, for instance, I felt my heart beat a little faster and ray breath wasn't coming so easily. The beauty and the aged dignity of such sights affected me in a way that is impossible to tell—it can only be felt. Another feeling I enjoyed, perhaps even more than the one I previously mentioned, was the feeling in the air— the warmth and friendliness of the people. They were all so interested— so eager to help. An example of their interest is the fact that so many speak English and are so eager to talk'with Americans, I remember on young Greek boy that approached an elderly gentleman on the tour with us and said, ”Please, sir, speak some English with me.” The trip was truly an unforgettable experience, and I feel very lucky to have been able to go. Karen Johnson TWERP SEASON The long awaited Twerp week finally began on March 14, Every girl seemed to be glad the chance had come to date the boy of her dreams. In the halls was evidence that twerp was in full swing—girls were carrying two sets of books, and they were opening doors for the masculine sex. The big event of the week was the dance on Friday, March 18, The gala event was held at the gym, and the doors were opened at 8s00, The Weejuns, a swinging band, offered the dance music. At one end of the gym was the lovely refreshment table. The table was covered with black and tdiite ticking trimmed in red with a centerpiece of a flower box and lighted wrought iron lamps. The refreshments consisted of cookies, brownies, open-faced sandwiches, peanuts, and cherry punch. Everyone seemed to enjoy himself, but most of the girls were glad to resume their position as the weaker sex.
