EDUCATIONAL TRIP One hundred and eight people from Bureau Township, including the high school students and faculty and the seventh and eighth grades and the grade faculty besides the many parents, went to Peoria on March Zl. We went through the Hydro-Electric Plant, the ABC Washing machine fac- tory and the Catipillar-Tractor plant. We certainly appreciated the hospi- tality of these people. We were served an excellent lunch at the Catipillar Factory. We were given some stunt driving. Some of the people from our group were given a chance to drive the tractor. We were shown some movies illustrating the different uses of the tractor. The people of the Peoria Transcript took a picture of the group and we saw it in the paper before we came home. Each student had to write an essay on the trip and 'the two best ones were sent to the Peoria Transcript and printed. We have been taking a trip of this kind each year and more people of the Community have gone each time. Everyone thinks it is a very profit- able way to spend one school day of each year.

THE BEURO JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET OF 'zs The Class of '29 wanted to do something in honor of the Class of '28 so they gave a junior-Senior Banquet. We left school about one o'clock and went to Deer Park. We went through most of the canyons and some very interesting and beautiful places. From there we went over to the Starvecl Rock Hotel. We were pro- vided with dressing rooms and made ourselves ready for the Banquet. At six-thirty we were ushered into a private dining room where we found our places at small tables that were arranged in an oval shape so that we made a large but rather elongated circle. ln the center of each table was a basket of white roses and these were joined together with blue rib- bon. The Class of '29's flower, the white rose, and the colors, blue and white, were used in the decoration. The Menu was: Fruit Cocktail Olives Pickles Roast Spring Chicken Stuffed Mashed Potatoes June Peas Head Lettuce With French Dressing Nabisco Sundae Coffee Mints The programs were blue imitation leather with a small white rose slipped through the cover.
