HISTORY CLUB PLANS SPRING
TRIP TO FRENCH LICK AREA
Southern Indiana is noted for
its historic and scenic attractions. There are numerous parks,
towns, and memorials that tell
in. themselves something about
the history of Indiana and the
former Northwest Territory. It
Ls around these places that the
History Club has centered Its
spring trip, May 5 and 6.
Although a definite agenda
has not been worked out by the
History Club Board, Mrs. Elsie
Howard, club sponsor, has investigated possibilities in the
area.and has several ideas that
appeal to the club.
■Tiie main base for action will
be French Lick, an area both
historically known and nationally noted for its surroundings.
The club will ^spend "their evening here and will branch out
from here to'lnearby state parks
and memorials. "They will be
staying at the large and luxurious hotel in this popular con-
ention location.
The idea of a History Club
trip was started many years
ago, but it was only last year
that the excursion was extended
overnight. The 1962 trip was
to Chicago and was reported to
be quite educational and entertaining for the  members.  This

The sale of tickets is the culmination of weeks of preparation by the publicity committee, headed by Grant Shipley.
Under him, the 20-plus members
have been making posters, writing copy, and preparing publicity stunts for the play, sponsored by the Shortridge Chapter

Caleb Mills Hall, has been presented in the city many times,

better hit than any previous
performance.

Mrs. Howard has estimated
that the trip expense will run
around $20. To avoid spring vacation complications, she has
asked all members planning to
