SENIOR TRIP The Senior class of Jackson Township left Buffton in a chartered bus at 6:30 on Tuesday morning, October 19th. Enroute to Dayton, Ohio. The first place of interest visited was the Mounds City National Park near Chillicothe Ohio. The group crossed the James River at Point Pleasant and went rm to Charleston, West Virginia for the night. The second day's journey took them into the Blue Ridge mountains. Two outstanding mountain sights on this day were those of New River Canyon, the deepest canyon in eastern United States, and Hawks' Nest Rock State Park. Another interesting feature of the day was the visiting of the White Sulphur Springs Health Resort known as The Green Briar Hotel. Its grounds cover seven thousand acres. The group reached Richmond, Virginia at nightfall and spent two nights there.
