Wil! .JL Picture ay On the rainy morning of October 17, 1951 the Senior Class an'd Mr. and M'rs. Begg journeyed to VVaterloo where we had our pictures taken at the National Studios. Upon arriving we were introduced to the photographer and after being shown' to our dressing rooms, proceeded to do our last minute primping. After meeting everyone's approval, Mr. Begg was chosen as the first victim. The boys followed next in line and after final inspection in front of the mirror the girls took their turn in front of the camera. After completing arrangements for several tours we went to Bishops Cafeteria where we ate our lunch. After our hunger was satisfied we wen't to the john Deere plant. After several unsuccessful attempts at parking we finally found a certain place that met the approval of a policeman. lX'e then went into the factory where wc were introduced to our guides. liach of us received a pair of heavy steel ,rimmed glasses. lYe the started on our trip through the factory Where we were shown how they molded iron. the completed parts, the assembly line, the paint department and the final testing rooms. XVhen we retu1'ned to the mai office we thaked our guides for their time and interesting explan- ation and started on the next lap of our tour. At this time we went to the KXEI. Radio Station. XYe visited the news room, the record shop, and the broadcasting rooms. XYe also saw the tele- type machines in action an'd were shown through the different offices. After leaving the radio station we drove around XVaterloo and then went to the Steak House where we were served a delicious chicken dinner, the compliments of the National Studio. To complete the evening, 21 very full and somewhat tired group wen-t to the show A Place in the Sun. After a very enjoyable day we started home. Day Monday, May 12, we Seniors Went to Des Moines for our Skip Day. Upon' arriving in Des Moines the day began with a trip through the City Police Station and the jail. Une of the most interesting things we saw was a trial presided over by Municipal Court .lndge Grund. Dinner came next and we had a picnic at Grandview Park where we completely demolished our supply of food. Deciding we needed some exer- cise, we drove the cars to the Driving Range where we tried our hand at golf. By this time we were pretty well worn out so we proceeded to find something more restful. NVQ took a refreshing cruise through the city slums, then returning to the RKO Orpheum Theater, we saw a double feature My Six Convicrts' and Whirlwind.' After considerable debate on how to get to Riverview Park, we finally reached our destination. lVhile we were there we had several thrilling rides on the roller-coaster and ferris wheel. VVe then visited the penny arcade, and various other concessions. After having a quick ride around the lake in a speed boat we left Riverview Park for Palmas Drive ln where we ate our evening meal. Having satisfied our hunger, we drove to the Cool Crest Miniature Golf Course where we made use of our practice we had obtained in' the afternoon. When the eighteen holes had been completed, we went to another show. This one was entitled Mara Maru and although a few people slept through it, most of it was very good. It was midnight when the show was over and after eating once more, this time at the Town and Country Grill near Ankeny, we started for home. Al- though we were all very tired by this time, we still agreed that we'd had the most perfect Skip Day anyone could ever wish for. 19
