On Thursday, May 13, nineteen seniors departed at midnight for a weekend of fun in the Ozarks. The seniors made use of their time in many different ways. Some sun bathed, while others rented paddle boats and made their way down- stream. One group of paddlers had to be towed back because the water was too rough for them to make it on their own. And unfortunately for the sun bathers, they suffered sun burns. The group activities were a lot of fun. The go-carts and bumper cars were only a couple of the high points. The seniors also went on an evening cruise aboard the Tom Sawyer. They danced to a live rock band and met many other seniors. After an enjoyable weekend, the seniors started towards home around 3:00 Saturday night. The nineteen seniors were only sorry that Jeff Vogt missed the fun. He qualified for the state golf tournament and missed the trip. 15
