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

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.

ll l0ll PLAY On Friday evening, April 20, 1951, the Sen- iors presented a very delightful play entitled The Lucky Accident, a farcical comedy in three acts by Wilbur Braun. The plot of the play is as follows: Leslie Noyes is in love with Fern Hunter and is anxious to marry her. Fern favors his suit, but Mrs. Hunzter, her mother, claims that Leslie is much too stupid to marry into the Hunter family. When Walton Knox, a former resident, returns home and is obviously a great financial success, Mrs. Hunter gives a party in Walton's honor and does all she can to further his suit. It happens that Walton, too, is enamoured of Fern's charms. Then Les Noyes meets with an accident! He receives a blow on the head and becomes an entirely different person. When the bandage is removed much later, it is dis- covered that the bump that everyone thought was responsible for Les's newly acquired bril- liance has healed. He becomes one of the town's most enterprising business men with a few small business deals to his credit. Humbird Hunter the father, and Amelda, the housemaid, provide many a howl and chuckle with their lines. Honey Hunter, Fern's younger sister, is a riot with her typical teen-age antics. The play was under the excellent direction of Miss Margaret B. McCrea. We want to acknowledge the cooperation of all who have contributed their efforts in mak- ing the play a great success, especially to the senior advisers, Miss V. Sheridan and Mr. Philip Brand and to Mr. D. Lally and his de- partment for the artistic scenery used in our production. The last week in April, the play was present- ed in Fort Monmouth through the lunior Red Cross, for the benefit of hospitalized soldiers.
