We visited the state penitentiary where we were met by a guard who made us remove all knives, matches and fingernail files from our pockets before enteringl We bought some things which the prisoners had made. Returning from there, we stopped to visit the Lincoln Park Zoo. Then after two hours for shopping and supper we attended a movie and started home at nine-thirty. We stopped at Fremont for lunch and finally arrived at our little old Martinsburg schoolhouse at three o'c1ock in the morning. We climbed sleepily out of the bus and dispersed to our homes feeling that we had really had a happy time, and thinking of all the things we had seen during the day. 32

SNEAK DAY TRIP TO LINCOLN April ZZ, marked the day of the high school sneak-day. We all met at the schoolhouse at five a.m. Mickey Essy and Patty Cyphers didn't go. We had the Allen School Bus with Morris Swanson driving. We stopped at Fremont for breakfast at eight-thirty. As we neared Lincoln we were thrilled to see the capitol dome reaching far up into the sky. When we arrived at Lincoln. we went directly to the Capitol and looked over the inside of the building. The beautiful art work impressed us. Then we went up the tower into the dome, four hundred feet above the ground and got a bird's eye view of the city. After this we went into the governor's office and met the lieutenant- governor who told us that the governor was out of the city. He let each of us sit for a moment in the governor's chair. Next we visited the Plymouth Congregational Church which has a forty-eight bell carillon. We were impressed by the many accessories of the church such as hearing aids for deaf people: nurseries for babies and recreational facilities for young people which included, gymnasiunm, dance floor, movies, ping-pong tables and pool tables. Separating into groups for dinner, we met again and visited the Morrill Museum with it's many fossils and other curiosities. 31
