rounded by all the Arts, Sciences and Industries. Our next journey was to the Supreme Court and then a visit to Congress. Leaving Congress we visited the Fol- ger Shakespearean Libfflfyf Gnd C11 the close ot a long day we had dinner at the hotel. After a wonderful dinner we visited the Library of Congress. Here we entered the Central Stair Hall, a magnificent structure of polished mar- ble. On each side of us rose lofty rounded columns with elaborate capi- tals of Corinthian design. From here we traveled to the Lincoln Memorial. At last we went to a movie where we rested our weary feet. After the theater, we were more than ready for bed, but not before becoming accustomed to the hotel and its many modern and luxuri- ous fixtures. Yawn! 6:45 seemed a little early to get up but it was worth it. Our first tour of the day was the Bureau of En- graving and Printing. None of us had ever seen so much money in one place in all our lives. From here we went to the Washington Monument. Some of the boys were brave enough to walk the 898 steps to the top, but some were brighter and took the elevator. We were quite tired after that tour, but we still toured the F. B. I. Building. Don't ever get yourself into trouble, -Mm Wm because they find you out in no time with the methods they have. They are always on the jol:-. We toured the White House and the Curtis-Lee Man- sion. The White House, in its spacious green park, has a dignified graceful beauty, probably unsurpassed by any other residence in the world. At the tomb of the Unknown Soldier, we watched the changing of the guards. At Mount Vernon we viewed the beau- tiful grounds and home of George Washington. We also visited the tomb of George Washington, which was very inspiring. When we arrived at the ho- tel. we showered and prepared our- selves for dinner and a show, then we headed straight back to our hotel rooms again. Sleep was really welcomed that night, but again it was not until 2:30 or later that the God Morpheus visited us. The next day we traveled on to the Old Christ Church, Pan American Building, which is one of the most beau- tiful buildings in the world, and the Smithsonian Institute which no student should miss if he can help it. On the way home we visited the Naval Aca- demy at Annapolis. We arrived in our home town at eleven o'clock. Forty- nine tired, but happy students who had three of the most educational, exciting, and fun loving days of their lives. l don't believe there was a student who tom, 1, Q , M.

WA HINGTUN TRIP Many times we have dreamed of be- ing photographed before the Capitol ot our nation, such as the 1950 graduates on the following page. Our dream did come true! The great day arrived on Wednes- day May 9, 1951. We got off to an early start at 7:00 a.m. Our first stop. the important one, was Washington, D. C. where we journied to the Willard Hotel. Here we registered, unpacked and spent three glorious, adventurous days. Our first tour was the Capitol where we went through massive doors and entered the rotunda. As we came into the great circular hall, we paused to note the magnificent display before us. The walls were decorated with a be- wildering array ot paintings, sculptures and frescoes. All around us there were massive columns. Over us the vaulted canopy of the dome was aglow with color, as we stood breathlessly gazing about us and wondering Where We should begin our tour. The canopy represents George Washington sur- S vi I r lil up 1111- 'N T.

This is one trip that you should not miss. Many students say they can always go some other time, but there won't be as much fun then as there will be with your classmates. We weren't sorry we worked in our Senior year, for you see, we were repaid threefold and more. - 1 ,- 'V 315 wa 5 3 2 ! 5 M W ' ' ' . -if .f,,f,-Wftzffid 'Sf 17-f :91 1 S' fe
