On Sunday, a group of about 50 Salve students loaded a bus headed for New York City.

The trip, organized by the Campus Activities Board, was planned to see a Broadway performance of Tarzan at the Richard Rodger’s Theater. Based on the well-known Disney movie, the production was truly an amazing depiction of Tarzan, a young boy who grows up in the jungle with a tribe of gorillas.
