Interested Travelers Meeting Tonight
England Trip Planned For Spring
A group of lucky students
will be learning a lot about
English literature and history
the fun way this spring by
traveling to London and tour
ing the famous capitol and
outlying areas.
The trig. which is being
sEonsored y Mr. Perry, is in
the planning stafies now and a
meeting of all students,
parents, and adults from the
community who are interested
in joining the group is schedul
ed for tonight.
The nine-day excursion will
begin on Friday, April 1.
Students will not miss school,
as the trip takes place during
spring break. The group will
leave the Atlanta airport Fri

London's Gatwick airport
Saturday morning. On the se
cond day of the trip, the tour
director will have an orienta
tion meeting with the group,
and there will be free time in
the afternoon to rest or to ex

a local restaurant.
On the third day of the trip,
an expert guide will introduce
travelers to London's most
famous landmark on a morning
sightseeing bus tour.
Highlights will include Buck
ingham Palace, the home of
Queen Elizabeth, for a look at
the famous changing of the
guard; the Tower of London,
one of London's oldest and
most fascinating attractions
and home of the crown jewels
and many objects of historical
interest; St. i’aul's Cathedral;
Piccadilly Circus; and the
Houses of Parliament. That
night the group will see a per

top shows — comedies, thri.fiers
and musicals. Members of the
group will be able to select the
shows they wish to see in
advance.
Day four begins with a trip
to the stately royal retreat at
Windsor Castle. Begun by

scholars for centuries.
Stonehenge has been a site of
worship %or ancient Druids,
ritual sacrifices, and
astronomical observations.
From paganism on to
Salisbury Bathedral in the
charming town of Salisbury,
where visitors will see the

most famous store in the
world. That night the tourists

On the seventh day there
will be an unforgettable full
day excursion to Oxford and
Stratford. The group will visit
the historic university city of
Oxford and its splended col
leges on a speciafi’ly-prepared
walking tour. After a drive
through the lovely countryside
and quaint villages, the group
will arrive at Stratford-upon-
Avon, the village where
William ShakeSfieare was born.
Hi%hlights of the visit will in
clude a visit to the house where
Shakespeare was born, the
quaint thatched cottage where
his wife, Anne Hathaway, liv
ed, shopping in the beautiful,
bustling village, and, following
dinner, a performance at the
Royal Shakespeare Theater
before returning to London.
On the eighth day of the
trip, visitors will enjoy a walk
ing tour of the Inns of Court,
vividly described by Charles
Dickens in Bleak House. Then
the second quarter. That gave |
the Bulldogs a 6-0 lead at |
halftime, following an unsuc- |
cessful PAT try. 5
In the third quarter, Turner |
ran in his second touchdown [
from 11 yards out. A two-point |
conversion pass from Grady |
Kinser to Chris Clemmons |
bolstered Rossville's lead to |
14-0.
An 18-yard touchdown run
by Turner and an extra point
kick from Tommy Shropshire
there will be time for souvernir
shopping in the luxurious
department stores in Oxford
Street and Knightsbridge. To
say farewell to the famous ci
ty, visitors will enjoy a special
Farewell Banquet with a feast
of traditional dishes while be
ing entertained by Elizabethan
minstrels and jesters.
Finally, on the ninth day of
the trip, the group will make
the return flight Eack to the
Atlanta airport with a collec
tion of once-in-a-lifetime
memories and a suitcase full of
souvenirs.
The trip is open to any stu

“This is going to be an ex
cellent, exciting trip,” said
sponsor Mr. Perry. “For a ver,
reasonable cost, travelers wiii
be able to visit the places
they've always dreamed of, the
most significant sites in
English history and literature.
There's something for
everyone — not just students
— as adults who have made the
trip in the past have enjoyed
the sightseeing and shopping
just as much as the students.

lead. At this point in the game,
it was obvious that Chattooga
was out of the contest. Tfie
Bulldogs went on to win, 21-0.
“We played good in the
first half, I thought, but we let
down in the second half. That's
why they beat us,” said Craig

week's game, coming from 26
yards rushing against Murray
County, to 76 against
Rossville. Our opponents are
now averaging 6.4 yards per
carry against us this season.
The Bulldogs' quarterback
James Turner was 4 for 8 with
no interceptions, going for 38
yards passing, which was good
for a 50 percent completion
ratio, while Chattooga’s Corey
Perry threw for 32 yards on 10
attempts and four completions.
He was also intercepted twice.
His completion rate was 40 per
cent, coming up from 25 per
cent from last week.
Chattooga, now 1-3 for the
season, will take on Fort Payne
tomorrow. The Wildcats beat
us last year, 31-7,in a game in
which the offense just couldn’t
get anything started, because
of the size of the Fort Payne
team.
Before tonight's game, this
is how we stand. Corey Perry
has 22 completions on 50 at
tempts, and his percentage of
completion is 44 percent, down
one percent from last week. He
has thrown for 191 yards and
four interceptions.
Chattooga has 379 yards
rushing, and 191 yards pass
ing, for a total offense o? 570
yards. We are now averaging
143 yards per game. Our op
onents, however, have col
fiacted 885 yards on total of
fense, with 763 rushing yards,
and 122 yards passing. That
comes out to an average of 221
per game.
The Indians have scored 18
points in four games, avera%;
g 4.5 per contest, whic
comes out to safety and a field
fioal a game. Our opponents
ave scored 73 points this
season, for an average of 19 per
ame. That means that the
gefense is not dpla\yin% up toits
capability, and the offense isn't
doing so hot, either.
Like I said, Chattooia is 1-3
right now, and they haven't
played a sub-region game yet.
If, {;y some miracle, we could
win all of them, we'd be 6-4 for
the season, and have a shot at
the playoffs. The team as a
whole will just have to regroup
during the open week, and
maybe they can pull it out.
BX the way, if you're
wondering about the All-
American team, it's been
discontinued due to lack of
scoring. My prediction this
week is: Fort Payne, 35, Chat
tooga, 6. Sorry, guys, but
that's just the way the ball
bounces.

Life In The

By Lane Hosmer
Since it is getting close to
Halloween, I've been watching
many horror movies. I know
Halloween is still a month
away, but I like to get an early
start on things. Anyway, I've
been having really strange
nightmares. They are like hor
ror movies, only they're about
teachers at Chattooga High.
One nightmare was about a
teacher who went around
murdering all her students. She
was seemingly innocent and
naive, but in reality she was a
cold-blooded mur(i;ress. The
marquee read ‘‘Revenge of
Mary Poppins’ and it starred
Miss Evett. She sought
revenge on all her Spanish
students. She told them a

The Eagles came back with
a vigorous drive, scored, and
elected to go for the two-point

That gave them an 8-7 lead.
They managed to hold off a

by that score.
‘‘Statistically, we beat
them, but the final score didn’t

We thought she was saying,
"*Supercalafragilisticx

tually chanting a voo-doo
curse. After she killed us all she
flew away with her umbrella
somewhere over the rainbow.
Ooops, wron%l story.
My next horror hallucina
tion had Mr. Perry starring in
‘““Nightmare on Lyerly
Highway.” However, this
movie had a new twist. Instead
of Mr. Perry slicing his victims,
he sat on them or crushed them
like a steam roller. This
nightmare also favored ‘‘Max
imum Overdrive.”” Mr. Perry
was like a serial killer. Every
victim he didn’t roll over, he
strangled with neon ties.
Norman Bates was next on
my list. Mr. Houston filled this
role perfectly. Anybody that’s
crazy about trigonometry has
to be psycho. Instead of killing
peogle by driving them insane
with crazy antics, he drives his
pupils insane with equations.
I had many other short
nifihtmares. I dreamed Mrs.
Allred was in ‘‘bride of
Frankenstein.”” I saw Mr.
Perry in another movie entitl
ed “The Blob.”” Mr. Hayes ap
peared as the vampire In
“Dracula,” and the rest of the
teachers appeared in ‘‘Creep
show.” These nightmares were
very scary. If teachers
wouldn’t give me so much
homework, maybe they'd stop.
But I somehow doubt it.
