senior skip day in chicago The trip started at about 8:00 o'clock Monday night, May l8, l959. At that time we all piled merrily into the buses and swung our coats, spare shoes, and other various paraphernalia into the overhead racks. We were finally off ll know, we always were. Hahll The first fifteen minutes or so of our trip was spent in the usual curious fashion. We flipped reading light switches, tried the windows and shades, and racked our neighbors behind with low-flying seats. After these things were done, we settled down for a peaceful night of sleeping. Or so we thought. On our bus the loud one was M. M., while on bus number two C. S. was the fly in the ointment. Due to their constant happily received lgrowlll interruptions, the beauty rest we accomplished was negligible. The next item of the agenda on the trip was the midnight snack eaten by the Seniors who had fore- sight enough to bring along some delectable goodies. As yogomight expect the midnight snack was consumed at 9: . Sometime during the night, it's hard to remember exactly, the radio campaign began. Yep, you're right. Dear old M. M. was at the back of it. M. M. decided that in order to make her trip more enjoyable, she needed the loan of my portable transistor radio. I had carefully stashed my radio in my suitcase, after I found that it had to be propped up in midtor and pointed and repainted a hundred times to get good reception. Well, that it had to be propped up in midair and pointed and quite sleepy, I gave a polite but firm, NaI After saying No! for the twentieth time, I de- vised a sneaky trick. I called M. M.'s attention to the fact that Dorothy had a much better, bigger more beautiful portable. Besides, I said, she's no stingy like I am. lHeh! Heh! Hehll I really settled that situation. lHah!l So all the rest of the night we had to listen to, Do-r-othy, I'll give you a 'blob' for the loan of your radio. and the answer of No-o-o! from generous Dorothy. We arrived in Chicago. That is, after a refreshing ride on the freeway. As one of our members remarked, l wonder why they call it a freeway? They charge thirty cents every two miIes. llt was pretty corney at 5:30 in the morning, too.l It was 5:30 by many of the unchanged watches but 6:30 by Chicago's daylight savings time. They may change the clocks but they can't change us. 5:30 is 5:30. lYawnll After paying a king's ransom for a bird's-size breakfast, we took off for the Museum of Science and Industry. When said took off, I meant it. For we had switched to a pair of city drivers. The crazy fools shot around corners with only inches to spare, and dragged up Lakeshore Drive. lGad! What a blastll We arrived at the museum at 8:30 flat, ready to take in many sights. The only trouble was it didn't open till 9:30. The waiting time was well spent, however. Everyone paged through telephone directories looking up lang lost relatives. Most of them stayed lost, l'm a rai . The museum was well worth the wait. We saw a captured German submarine, an actual coal mine under the building, and various other very, very in- teresting displays. To get into some of the exhibits the usual fee is thirty-five cents, but after Mr. Ferguson signed a paper we got in for a dime. I guess he has an honest face. This building consumed our morning. There was a cafeteria in the building so we decided to eat lunch before moving on. Our next stop was about l:O0, when we visited the Planetarium. After chipping a quarter to get in, we found out the big show wasn't until 3:00. There were mumblings about being gypped, but you can't really say that. They had some lovely pictures of stars and stuff. Upon arriving at the door of the Aquarium we were stopped by a greasy old guy who offered us a special rate on a half hour boat ride. Since we were unable to get a night boat, we accepted gladly. Out on choppy Lake Michigan, we got a lovely view of Chicago's skyline. I had a wonderful time considering I couIdn't hear a word the boat captain said and getting slightly moist from the boat's backwash. On arriving back some of the Seniors lwith fishy ideasl went into the Aquarium. lpunl. The rest of us rested on the shoreline and drank cokes. After a little rest we went to the Museum of Natural History. It was quite interesting with stuffed animals, biological specimens, and statues. Everything went fine except that we lost Gerrit inside. He was quite safe, however: there were plenty of mummies in the Egyptian exhibit to take care of him. lThat's supposed to be a joke.l From there we went to Lincoln Park Zoo. Every- thing ran true to form-most of the animals were locked in beddy-bye for the night. After that we just toured town in our real cooI air-conditioned buses. We saw skid row, Chinatown, and Madison Avenue and Maxwell Street. We were going to eat supper at a real Chinese restaurant, but after seeing the prices, we decided that Joe's Beanery had better food. At 7:00 we were set free to eat where we wanted and to shop until 8:45. After eating, though, we found we had only about fifteen minutes or so to shop. Our shopping was then limited to a quick tour of the Grey- hound Post Houses. At 9:00 we were off for home, after hearing the usual comments concerning our meals, raw steaks for well-done ones, etc. Going out of the city, we went through skid row to see the difference night made. It was too early to see many drunks. But, we almost got bricks thrown through our bus windows due to the ieering of some of the kids toward the drunks. We made it safely out of the city. lPhewll The conversation on the way home was limited to z-z-z-z- snortl 's, and Gimmie my half of the blanket! At Cedar Rapids we stopped to change to our original drivers. lWe had had three pairsl. We arrived an hour early and had to wait outside for forty-five minutes for the drivers to be aroused from their slumber. A few of the more adventuresome Seniors hiked a couple blocks and returned with ice cold' liquid refreshments in hand--much to the envious stares of other thirsty onlookers. Around 6:30 a.m. we arrived back in dear old Odebolt. We gathered up our many prized souvenirs and luggage and dragged off wearily toward home and a soft, fluffy bed.
