1 WJ ii SENIOR TRIP The Seniors of '55 left April 15, at 4:30 in the morning on their Skip Day activities. The destination was Minneapolis, Minnesota. We stopped at Mankato, Minnesota, for breakfast. Some of the group went window shopping while the others engaged themselves in their various pastime projects. Our first point of interest in Minneapolis was Minnehaha Falls. There was not a great deal of water going over the falls at the time we were there. The first scheduled stop in Minneapolis was at the Ford Plant. We were first shownwhere the glass is sorted and cut. We saw tons of parts and many other machines doing various other jobs. The most interesting and outstand- ing feature in the Ford Plant proved to be the assembly line where you start with the frame of a car and you travel slowly along with the car as each and every part is placed on the frame. The very last process deals with the driv- ing test of the cars. We were conducted through the World-Chamberlain Air Field. Our guide took us through hangers, the Message department, and we learned where reservations are made on flights. We were told how the luggage was weighed and flown to the destinations. Our next experience was to check into the Andrews Hotel and rested for awhile. Then we went to the Artificial Limbs Co. This tour proved most in- teresting. We saw just how a person becomes self supporting even though he may have handicaps. We met one young man who had both legs taken off and yet he dances on Television. It was very inspiring to us. The rest of the afternoon and evening were our own. Many of us went shopping or to the Foshay Tower, or to the movies. Some went to the Sportsmans Show which proved exciting. Saturday morning was also devoted to shopping and sight-seeing. I believe some went to Dayton's and other stores to ride the escalators. Saturday afternoon at 2:30 We went by bus to the Minneapolis Arena to see the great finals of our trip. The 1955 Ice Follies. We were well im- pressed with the great ability, lighting and costuming that goes to make up the ice follies. We stopped for supper in St. Peter. We wish to express our deepest thanks to our sponsor, Mr. Thiesse, and Mr. and Mrs. Lang for such a nice and enjoyable trip.
