The students will also visit Meramec Spring State Park in St. James, tour the Safety Education Center of the Missouri State Highway Patrol Office and the Churchill Memorial and Library at Westminster College in Fulton -- site of Churchill's famous "Iron Curtain" speech.

The trip promotes good citizenship. Students selected by the faculty must be in the upper one-fourth of their class scholastically and demonstrate high standards of honor, courage, citizenship and leadership, said Scope Club Chairman Barbara Popp.
