The Juniors and Seniors Visit Court The Senior Class was permitted to attend a trial at the Portland Court- house on December 21, 1945. We were quite enthusiastic about this trial because it was a murder trial, the State vs. Percy Wolfe. We witnessed only the final pleas of the attorneys. Immediately after lunch we visited the jail. This was quite an experi- ence for most of us because it probably was the first visit to a jail. Before going back to court we also visited the newspaper office. There we saw the teletype machine working, also the press and the stencils used in the printing of pictures in our newspaper. On January 28th and 29th the senior and junior classes went in a body to another trial in which Fred Chandler was the plaintiff and Paul Krane1', the defendent. We- heard the type of questioning the witnesses are given. We also heard how the jury is picked. Since the trial was not over the first day we were given permission to attend the second day. The lawyers gave their final pleas and the judge instructed the jury in their decision. For the benefit of the juniors, We visited the jail which was being im- proved with a new paint job. From there we went to the County Home The head matron took us through the rooms. There were twenty-five peo- ple in the home at that time. We all agreed that we never wanted to come to such a place. Indiana University Here We Come! On October 27, 1945, two bus loads of Bryant students set out to see the football game between Indiana University and the University of Tulsa at Bloomington. Our first stop was at Indianapolis, where some of us visited the state- house. When we arrived at the stadium at Bloomington Mr. Schramm took moving pictures of us, which turned out to be quite good. After that it was time for the game to start, so we all settled back to enjoy ourselves. When the game was over Mr. Spahr took us around the campus. We ate our supper in Martinsville and again resumed our trip. Every- thing went well until we got to Indianapolis. Boom! Yes, you guessed it. We had a blow-out. The drivers soon had the tire fixed and in no time at all we were in familiar territory, Jay County. Under the splendid chaperoning of Miss Davis and Mr. Spahr, and the careful driving of Mr. Flauding and Mr. Mumby, we all returned home safely. Confidentially, Indiana University Won the game.
