OUR TRIP TO THE BIG CALUMET 

Friday, May the twenty-sixth, our class went down to the big Calumet river. 

It happened to be a fine day for a trip. The sun was shining and the birds were singing The day before the weather was warm and windy.

At 8:45 we started from 14th Street School. We took the car going south on Broadway.

We rode as far as 25th Street, which was as far as the first car went.

As we had to wait for the other car, we enjoyed ourselves in grass meadows picking flowers. We picked bluets, puccoons, daisies and spiderworts, also buttercups.

We saw two moths and one butterfly. We also saw bobolinks and Baltimore oriole. A meadow lark and wrens were also flying about. I think they had their nests somewhere in the tall grass. We rested in the shade of a large crab apple tree. We were thirsty and a kind lady let us have some water from her well. The ice man was passing by, and gave us some pieces of ice, with which to cool ourselves. Soon after our car come which brought us to the river.There is a high bridge across the river.

We stopped on the bridge to watch the water ripple on its way, to look at the pretty pond lilies and blue- flags .They looked beautifully. Cat tails were growing in the water.

From the bridge we followed a path along the river leading to shade trees, and here two men were fishing. They caught two fish perch and a sunfish. 

Farther on we saw some people who had a giant turtle. It was the largest turtle we had seen. Then we dug up some earth worms for bait but were unsuccessful, as we did not catch any fish .We caught a crayfish. It was moving. Many redwinged blackbirds and marsh wrens were flying about. Many new kinds of plants grew in this lowland. These did not grow on high sandy places. All to soon our car come along to carry us back to our school, I hope we will have another trip like that.
