We also took a trip to Turkey Run where we tried to follow the trails and ended up getting lost. Mr. Hoffman sponsored a trip to South Bend for the Sophomores and the Seniors when we were Sophomores. We visited Studebak- er’s and the City Court. Some of the boys thought they were going to have to go back. Our Junior and Senior trip was to In- dianapolis to see Sonja Henie.
