Heed Horace Greeley’s advice to ‘Go West’ for class trip
The senior class at Mountain Lake Public High School (MLHS) heeded the advice of Horace Greeley, editor of The New-York Tribune during the mid-1800s, to “Go West.”
Well, sort of.
The class actually went southwest – to South Dakota – to Soo Foo – or Sioux Falls to be exact.
The senior trip for the soon-to-be graduates was on Wednesday, May 6. While in Sioux Falls, the students visited the Washington Pavilion, where they toured the science museum and art gallery, saw a movie about tornadoes and watched a science presentation involving food.
Noon lunch was enjoyed at Leonardo’s, the restaurant in the Pavilion, followed by a little shopping at the Empire Mall.
Chaperones for the trip were the senior class advisors, were Brenda Feil, Shawn Naas, and Kim Syverson.
