Summer appears to have settled in for good as daytime temperatures moved into the 90 s the past week. Low's of 44 were reported last Friday and Saturday after temperatures raised into the 80s last Thursday. No precipitation was recorded during the week. Temperatures recorded during the week are as follows: 137 persons, in- cluding parents invited along for the first time. It is the outgrowth of a practical language tour begun several years ago by Spanish teachers Verle Allred and Vernon Bingham, which was incorporated last year as Ideal Study Tours, Inc. This year's total program will number more than 400 students enrolled. South of Border Crossing the border time was set for 11 a.m. on Saturday and the students changed from U.S. buses to Mexican charter buses, for the remainder of the journey, spending Saturday night in Hermosillo. -- Red Cross Swim loaded with eighth grade Spanish language students, teacher advisors, and some parents. After a short detour into Bountiful to pick up participating students from that area, the buses headed south through Phoenix to the twin border towns of Nogales where most of the students would catch their first sight of Mexico after months of planning, packing and repacking, and excitement. The first contingent of a four-pastudy tour of Mexico For language development, the next part of the tour is probably the most useful as students arrive in Guadalajara to spend a few days and nights with middle-clas- s Mexican families as guests in their homes. While there they will participate in morning classes in Spanish, singing, dancing, and Mexican culture. During the afternoons each student will tutor have a Spanish-speakin- g and companion of the same age and sex for tours of the San Juan market, museums, parks, cathedrals, government buildings and just fun and getting acquainted with the companion and the language. Mexico City 30 the group plans to arrive in Mexico City, where they will stay in a Mexican hotel and explore the city both on organized tours and in free time On May for shopping and sightseeing. Plans for that portion of the trip include visiting the pyramids at Teotihuacan, the Basilica of Guadalupe, the Secret Convent of Santa Monica in Puebla, attending jai-la- i games, going to Cholua where the largest pyramid still covered will offer some tunnel exploring, attending a bullfight, and going to a performance of the beautiful Ballet Folklorio. The final part of the trip will be two days in Acapulco traveling by way of Guernavaca and Taxco to that coastal city. There they will have time to swim in the ocean, see the high divers of La Quebrada, and enjoy the resort atmosphere before heading for home. Home by Jet Another firsttime experience for the majority of the students will be the jet flight home to Salt Lake City on June 5, and theyll board an airplane that has just brought the third contingent of students to Mexico for a trip that will be a chronological turnabout of the same itinerary. A second group is scheduled to leave on May 31 by bus and return by airplane on June 12, as the fourth contingent of the tour arrives on the piggyback flight arrangement with Air Caledonia. The two later groups will come home by bus after their tours. Thereve been a lot of scheduling, passport collecting, insurance forms, international planning, and headaches for the trip sponsors coupled with that the annual trek to Mexico is an exercise in understanding, not only the Spanish language, but the fact that every culture has something unique to offer and that all people are just that people. The youngsters come home with an appreciation of Mexican culture, an interest in international travel, and the realization that just because something is different it doesnt mean its wrong. Those funny-hatte- d youngsters clutching their food boxes and bleach bottles full of water (many bulged out from being frozen for the long trip) as they board the bus will come home with something new understanding. Of course, along with that will be new sombreros, castinets, onyx chess boards, peasant blouses, pottery, guitars, straw bags, and a collection of sbuvenirs! wardrobe planning, packing and repacking of suitcases and selecting a three-da- y food supply for the bus trip on the part of the students and their families.
