O Washln ton o rlp Today is May 10, and I am on my way to Washington, D. C. at last, after selling all the candy that I did it is a Wonder that I am able to go. I don't feel too Well, as it is 5:30 A. M. and I am not fully awake. Between do's and don'ts from my mother, I packed a cluttered suitcase with one change and a comfortable pair of shoes. I departed kissing my mother goodbye and waving a fond farewell to the boy next door. I arrived at the school a little early and between excited chatter we waited for the bus to arrive. Promptly at 7:00 A. M. we were on our way. The first stop was Baltimore, Maryland where we ate our lunch and with a couple of candy bars in our pockets, we boarded the bus again for our next stop-Washington, D. C. After we became settled at the Willard Hotel, we began our tour of the Capitol, we visited the Supreme Court, Congress and the Folger Shakespearean Library. Once back at the hotel, We had our din- ner. What a dinner, just like mother never cooked. From there we went to the Library of Congress followed by a stop at the Lincoln Memorial. Back at the bus we decided that we would like a little relax- ation and we attended a show. There was only one thing wrong, we had very little sleep, due to the chatter that lasted until 2:00 A. M. Up at 6:00 we were on our way again. At 6:45 we ate our breakfast before we started for the Bureau of Engraving fvlw E?

My feet were tired, especially after climbing to the top of the Washington Monument. The F.B.I. Building was very thrilling. It had an air of mystery about it, where as the White House and the Curtis-Lee Man- sion had an air of splendor throughout them. We watched the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Sol- dier at Arlington National Cemetery. It was a perfect performance. How often I wish that I was Martha Washington, and I shall do so more often, since I have seen Mount Vernon and Old Christ Church that George Washington attended. The Pan American made me want to visit South America or any of the other Latin American countries. I never knew that our country had so many interesting things that it could fill the Smithsonian Institute! We would have liked to tour this place for hours. On our way home we stopped at Annapolis and were conducted on a tour of the grounds and buildings. By the time we reached Baltimore and had our dinner I was so full of not only food but of wonderful memories of the three happiest days of my high school career the l0, ll, and 12 of May.

Polishing Papa The evening of April 21 was an im- portant and long anticipated event for the Seniors, who, after weeks of hard work and preparation, presented their play Pol- ishing Papa. Papa Smith, a rich sausage manufac- turer KReed Stockl was a disgrace in the eyes of his children who had just returned from college, because of his old fashioned ideas, and terrible grammar and manners. Arthur Smith CRichard Bennettl is in love with Rose Parker CGladys Claytonl, the daughter of a rich perfume manufacturer, and is determined to enter the investment business against his father's strong pro- tests. Iane Smith lEleanor Vidal is in love with an Englishman, Lord Dabney CBill Rauscherl and is anxious to get Papa cul- tured in order to make a good impression. The children are simply horrified at the presence of the highrpowered sausage ad- vertising salesman Karman iSebastian Russo? who strews signs all over the living room when Lord Dabney and Rose Parker are due for a visit. Dick Brainerd a smart attorney CArnold Kurthl has Arthur's in- terests at heart and does his best to get him into the inbestrnent business. Arthur wins a bet with his father by getting him to enjoy golyf, and runs the business while Smith travels and plays the game all over the country. Mrs. Stevens, the housekeep- er Cloan Beattyl handles all crises calmly and cleverly. She manages to keep the maid Marie who has a mind of her own CLoretta Andrewsl from leaving after a bat- tle of tempers with Mr. Smith. Then there is the Neighbor girl PeqQY lMary Gerrityl who lisps and always pops in at just the wrong time. Lord Dabney proves to be an imposter, and lane finds her true love in Dick Brainerd and all ends happily. The play was under the able and excel- lent direction of Miss Margaret B. McCrea, who has had much experience in dramatic work and who gave to those who took part such a valuable experience and train- ing as will never be forgotten. Much ap- preciation is expended to Eleanor Kohler and Sue Shaw, promptersg to Mr. D. A. Lally and the Manual Arts Dept. for stage layout and scenery: and to all others who were contributing factors to the great suc- cess of this play. The following week, April 27, the play was presented in Fort Monmouth, through the Iunior Red Cross, for the benefit of hospitalized soldiers. SENIOR PLAY CAST-Left to right: Gladys Clayton, Richard Bennett, Eleanor Kohler, William Rauscher, Mary Gerrity, Reed Stock, Sebastian Russo, loan Beatty, Loretta Andrews, Arnold Kurth, and Eleanor Vida.
