Senior Class Trip
____________________________________

On our senior class trip, we took school buses to the Michigan Central Railroad Station, where we took the train to Chicago. There we boarded our ship, the S.S. South American to Mackinac Island, then through the locks and back to Detroit. Here are some memories.
