After we finished eighth grade at Saint Jude's in Mountaintop PA, we had a class trip. Here are the picture I took
back then. It took us four hours on Capitol Trailways to travel from Mountaintop, near Wilkes-Barre, south to Washington
DC. We started about 5 AM, and we came back around midnight.
In my case, I still had a paper route to attend, Mountain Top Route 7 for the WIlkes-Barre Record. My mother drove
me through it before we came to the school for the bus, and we once again drove thorugh it the following day. I had
no school nor any events until Sunday, 13 June, when we actually graduated from eighth grade!
