SENIOR TRIP The Seniors of I. H. S., accompanied by Miss Stambaugh and Mr and Mrs. Trump, left early Wednesday morning, April 29, for a trip to Chicago. The first stop was at Michigan City where the group were taken on a tour of the State prison. Everyone was very interested, but very glad to be able to leave. There was time before lunch to visit the Oriental Institute and the Chapel at the University of Chicago. After lunch the group visited Field's Museum and the Aquarium. The group then divided, some going to the ball game while others spent their time in the loop and looking at other sights about the city. In the evening of the first day we all went to a musical comedy, At Home Abroad, at the Grand Opera House. After this, sleep was attempted at tl1e Y , the headquarters of the group in Chicago. The morning of the second day was spent viewing some important buildings in down town Chicago. The Board of Trade, the Federal Reserve Bank and Tribune Tower were of great interest to all. Thursday afternoon was also spent in sight-seeing around Chi- cago. Lincoln Park and the Museum of Arts and Industries were visited. After eating supper, the group boarded the bus once more and headed homeward, There was a general feeling that a lot had been learned from the trip, and that everyone had had a good tifne.
