Chilton High School's Class of 2012 took its senior class trip to New York City over winter break. Twenty-nine students took part.

The senior class advisers, Mr. Doug Kliment and Mrs. Bonnie Mallmann, and a couple of the parents of students chaperoned.

Mrs. Mallmann said, "Chilton High School seniors were amazing, and because of that, everyone had a great time."

The seniors started off their trip by piling onto a bus on Dec. 26, driving overnight to the Big Apple. The first stop on the tour was Ellen's Stardust Café, a retro 1950s themed diner.

That night they went to the Empire State Building Observatory, which many agreed was one of the numerous memorable highlights of the trip.

"My favorite part was going to the Empire State Building because it had an amazing view at night," said senior Harry Barany.

The next day the seniors took a ferry to Liberty Island. Then they enjoyed an afternoon city tour, which included stops at Madison Square Garden, Greenwich Village, Times Square and Chinatown.

Later that night, they ate dinner at the new Hard Rock Café New York, which is located in the heart of Times Square. After dinner, the students saw "Spider-Man," a Broadway play.

"'Spider-Man' was the most amazing part about the New York trip," said senior Ryan Mueller.

On the last day of the seniors' trip, they woke up bright and early to visit ABC's "Good Morning America" to be a part of the outside audience.

After standing outside in the cold there, the seniors were able to go inside and "crash the set" of the NBC studios and see behind the scenes of some of their favorite shows.

To end their New York City trip, they took a tour of Grand Central Terminal before returning home on Dec. 30.
