SENIOR PARTY AT CHICAGO Would you like to go to Chicago with us ? Well hop aboard and lets go. It’s now 6:00 in the morning, b-r-r- is it cold out. Better hurry, climb in the car so we can go. We are now driving on road 30, maybe I should say ice because that is just what it is. H-m-m-, this town looks familiar, oh I know, it’s Dier, we are now pulling into a waffle shopjfor some reinforcements. Oh, we’re on our way again headed for the Hall of Science and Industry, Chicago, Illinois. Here we are (fast trip) walking up the steps. As we go in the door we’re not sure what to see first. We have to start some place. We don’t all congregate again until noon time (more reinforcements). Ready to shove off again, but for different spots this time. Some of us are leaving for China town. We’re walking on the streets now looking in shop windows and looking for a building named “On Leong Tong’’, a Chinese Shrine. We nonchalantly walked in and upstairs, where we see the temple shrine and hall of justice. We’re walking along the streets again looking for a shop that's open-oh! here’s one. After buying numerous souveniers and listening to the Chinese shop owner talk, we’re ready to head uptown. Some of us are going to ride the “el”. Let's go. We don't have much time so we can only ride five or ten minutes. Feel the car sway, it's not much different than an ordinary street car though. What, to the Board of Trade, okay let’s go. Hold your breath we’re going up about, lets see 14, hey hold on we’re still going up to about 43 stories high. Well don't forget to swallow. At the observatory at last. Isn’t this swell, we can see all over Chicago, better hurry so we can make it to the Plantatarium to hear the lecture. Here we are. “Boy this is pretty, just like we are out of doors. This lecture on stars and constellations is interesting. Now we’re walking again, headed for the Aquarium. Say, did you ever see such wierd looking fish? Quite different from our bluegills and carppies. Well, time for us to meet together again. It is now 5:00 — Here we go after food again. Some of us are eating at the Old Heidelburg, some at Walgreens Drug Store and others at Gimbel’s and others at “Wimp's Favorite Hamburger (joint). Now out to the stadium. Look at the beautiful costumes--Say that sure was over in a hurry and now we are on the road home. Golly we're tired but it was worth it. LIONS CLUB BANQUET The Seniors gave the Lions Club a real hearty dinner on January 2, 1950. The banquet was successful in two ways. The first; the Lions enjoyed it very much and second; the Seniors were $90 richer which helped very much toward our trip. It was a very tough job and ther were a lot of tired Seniors, but they feel that it was worth it. The tables and gym were beautifully decorated with the theme of New Years carried out. The decoration committee consisted of: Jane Frisinger, Chairman; Barry Baker, Ed Tom, Julia Durham, and Jarge Gaerte. The menu; scalloped potatoes, ham, corn, green beans, tomato juice, coffee, hot rolls, butter, pie, perfection salad, celery, carrots, and pickles were donated by the class and prepared by the committee; Marietta Whitehead, chairman; Joan Smith, Carole Scott and five mothers; Mrs. Baker, Mrs. Gaerte, Mrs. Keck, Mrs. Pearson, Mrs. Whitehead, and Mrs. Blosser. The dinner was served family style at 5:30 p.m. The tables and stoves were gotten and set by the procurement committee consisting of Jerome Hood, chairman; Faye Pearson, Bob Dishman, Dean Keck, Bob Rhodes, and Jerry Rensberger. 16
