DAYS OF YORE: 45 years ago
(From the June 6, 1957, files of the Peabody Gazette-Herald)
The members of the senior class at Peabody this year returned home Saturday after a hectic week-long trip which took them as far as New Orleans. Their first night was spent in Hot Springs, Ark., where they had bus trouble and had to get another bus. They traveled on to New Orleans where after the second day the air conditioning went out of their bus and they again had to switch buses. On the way home, in Arkansas another mishap occurred when their third bus was rammed from behind by a truck at a railroad crossing. It was damaged but not enough to put it out of action so they were able to continue on to Rock-A-Way Beach for the remainder of their trip.
