Senior Trip The Seniors and Mr. and Mrs. Bellis started out at five for a long journey to Chicago. We were all interested at the various sites on the way. Our first stop was at Dubuque. We were thrilled to ride the Fenelon Place Elevator, the world's steepest, shortest scenic railway. From top we could see the Mississippi River, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Iowa. We arrived in Chicago at two o'clock. Our first night in the second largest city in the world. That night we walked to the lake and also visited the large aquarium. For enter- tainment we went to the Oriental Theater and floor show and the movie, Captain Caray U. S. A. . Friday we went to the radio program Welcome to Travelers . This program was very enjoyable and interesting. Mr. Bellis and the boys went to the baseball game in the afternoon. Mrs. Bellis and the girls went to the show, Three Came Home . That evening we went to the Trianon Ballroom. Ian Garber was the orchestra. Everyone was very thrilled and enjoyed the evening immensely. Saturday morning was spent visiting zoos and the navy pier. In the afternoon we visited the Museum of Natural Science and Industry. That evening was spent at the movie Riding High Sunday morning at nine we started for home. We were all tired after an exciting week end at the large city. In speaking for the Seniors, we enjoyed our Skip Day trip, for it was both educational and a lot of fun for all of us.
