Almost the entire Class of 2008 went to the Wisconsin Dells on this year's senior trip. The seniors stayed in condos, about 12 students per suite, where they cooked their own food, hung out, relaxed, and enjoyed some class bonding. They also had a chance to swim and go skiing. Jie Han was in the thick of it all, and she brought back this first-person account.
