Page 36 - CBA 1998 YEARBOOK

The traditional Gettysburg trip was a busy weekend of many museums, and thankfully, a relaxing hotel. Mrs. Irwin, Mr. Romano and our other chaperones acted as tour guides, showing us the hot
spots of Gettysburg.
Our class gathered at CBA at 7:00 am
that morning to depart for our long jour­ ney to the city of Civil War history. Having our bags inspected was bad enough but the hot-pink sunglasses that Mrs. Irwin gave us certainly woke eve­ ryone up.
The bus ride down was brutally long and boring. Even when we finally ar­ rived there, the Jenny Wade house didn’t add much to the excitement.

However the bus driver did entertain us by pointing out that a clump of trees, because of its location within the Union army’s lines, accounted for a part of the Union victory at Gettysburg. Back at the hotel we cooled off with a swim and feasted on a junior high favorite, pizza. The next day we climbed Little Round Top and explored the infamous Devil’s Den.
The ride home was as exciting as the ride down. There were a few more folks sleeping, wiped out by the touring and the swimming. Still, the 8th grade class enjoyed their trip to Gettysburg. It was a perfect way to end the year!
