As Juniors in 1940 we went on our usual skip day to Ottumwa. We left in the morn- ing at 8:30, Miss Lindeen accompanying us as our sponsor. On our arrival in Ottumwa, a guide took us through Morrell's Packing Plant. After dinner, we visited the Ottumwa Courier, after we had inspected the entire building, a photographer very gratiously took a picture of the group which was published in the Courier the following day. We also visited the Coca Cola plant, Swift's Creamery, and the Lowen- berg Bakery, each company providing a guide to take us through its plant. In the evening, we all attended the show Pinochio, and returned home tired, but happy. JUNIOR-SENIOR TRIP OF 1941 The Junior and Senior classes this year en- joyed their Sneak Day together. We char- tered a Burlington bus and took a very inter- esting trip to Des Moines. To finance the trip we held food sales in both Mt. Pleasant and Fairfield, the food being contributed by those students who went on the excursion. We left Lockridge at five o'clock in the morning, March 14, and arrived in Des Moines about 8:30. However, we stopped in Knoxville about thirty minutes for those who wanted to eat a little breakfast. After arriving in Des Moines we went to the Capitol where most of us went up to the dome, some, however, stopped on the way and went back down. Later in the morning, we visited the State Legislature. We were unfortunate, however, in that our representative from Jef- ferson County was absent from the session, and as a result, we were not introduced to the legislative body, as several other visiting schools were, by their representatives. After dinner we all met at the Kirkwood Hotel. From here We went to the Des Moines Register and Tribune building. A guide took us through this, showing us the different de- partments and the editors of the various columns in the paper. From here, we went Junior Flight to Ottumwa, 1940 Back Row: Louie Boos, Bill Watson, Betty Rivey, Lillian Wolf, Raymond Kiser, Erma Jacobson, Bill Billingsley, Lucille Carlson, Grant Jacobson, Mrs. Nason.

WHO was our next stop. Here We saw the different announcers, and heard Jack Shelley announce the news. At 5:30, we went out to the airport to see a large U. S. liner come in. CWe were minus two young ladies, who remained in town to see the sights.J We were all free to do what we wished af- ter we returned from the airport, until 10 o'clock, when we were to start for home. Most of us went to a movie, but some just stayed and looked around. fWe really couldn't say what they did do!!J We started home at 10 o'clock sharp in a bad snow storm. We arrived home about 3 o'clock in the morning, and were given a hearty welcome by those waiting for us at the restaurant. After a very interesting day, we were glad to be home!
