Tech ' s juniors and seniors, along with students from other area schools, ven- tured to the annual Washington-New York tour once again. There was a slight change this year, however. Students went by plane instead of the traditional train. Hoosier State Bank Travel Agency or- ganized this five-day tour of New York City and Washington D. C. for up- perclassmen of Hammond ' s five public high schools. The tour began Wednesday October 21, and lasted until October 24, which was a Sunday. The cost of the air-traveled trip was $169.95 per student, which included all transportation, meals, and sight-seeing. This was a great opportunity for the students to see historical and breath- taking sights. Various points of interest, such as the White House, the Lincoln Memorial, and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, were visited. In New York aching feet could mean only one thing — results of the climb up the Statue of Liberty. The Empire State Building, Radio City Hall, and Greenwich Village were visited as well. Many places of historical interest were visited by students on the tour. Here Kathy Kirk, Sonia Martinez, and Nancy Kenney venture to the Smithsonian Institute. Annual Tour provides travel experience A view from the Empire State Building was found to be appealing by students on tour.
