fda.: 'LHP .snuff af' r--- .- .arf 17231 cmdcvz 7fzd,a Early, the morning of April 22, the juniors left on their American History trip to the Lincoln country in Illinois. All went well until just past Gulfport, Illinois, where the bus started having troubles. We had to stop every few miles to let the motor cool off, but finally arrived in Lewis- ton, Illinois, where we had a late breakfast. Our next stop was Dickson Mounds, where we visited the uncovered mounds made by a race which was here before the Indians. They were the same people who built the mounds found east of Wapello around Toolesboro. Then we were off for New Salem. After a few rest stops for the bus, we arrived at this former hometown of Lincoln, which has been reconstructed just as it was when he lived here. We saw just how a town of 1840 looked. We visited Lincoln's home and tomb and the state capitol in Springfield. Some of us shopped, bowled, and attended a movie be- fore starting home. Finally it happened--the bus just refused to go any farther, and we spent a hectic ffor the sponsorsj two hours at a crossroad oilstation waiting for another bus. We finally arrived home, but much later and tired than we had planned. v . 'Ft .'-'Z W' X i- -si, .Il I .ah 4 ' 1 If L fa- I ,x,- . .3 Ill' 'ht J-R DR. J, A.
