SENIOR TRIP Wednesday, May 20, 1970, 23 Seniors and 6 sponsors left Mankato for a four day vacation in Texas. After arriving at the Fiesta Motor Inn in Arling- ton, Thursday morning, we quickly changed our clothes and went for a refreshing swim in the indoor pool. That afternoon we saw the Fort Worth Museum of Natural History and the Fort Worth Zoo. The movie we saw that evening was Anne of 1000 Days . Friday morning we toured the General Motors Assembly Plant in Arlington. We spent the after- noon shopping in Dallas; that evening we saw the movie Airport . We stopped at the Kennedy Mem- orial and passed Jack Ruby’s Nightclub before re- turning to Arlington. Saturday we went to Six Flags which was very enjoyable. Sunday morning we packed and caught up on lost sleep. That afternoon we went back to Dallas. We revisited the Kennedy Memorial and then we went to the State Fair Park where we all enjoyed touring the Wax Museum. After visiting other parts of the Fair Grounds we headed back to Kan- sas. We arrived in Mankato very early Monday, May 25. Our special thanks go to Mr. and Mrs. Jones, Mr. and Mrs. Elwood and Mr. and Mrs. Murray who were our sponsors. 64 The building in the top picture is the one from which Oswald fired the fatal shots.
