SENIOR TRIP Monday, April 15— At six o'clock, twenty-two sleepy Seniors were struggling to get on the bus that was to take them on their four-day excursion to Boston. It didn't take Mr. and Mrs. Krepick long to get them on the bus, especially after the girls discovered that the bus driver, Lloyd, was a tall, blond ex-sailor. We piciced up Miss Kin-naird, our third chaperone, at Peekskill. We made our first stop at Longfellow's famous Wayside Inn, where we acquired our guide, Mr. Winn. After being conducted on a tour through the Inn, we were shown the Old Grist Mill and the well-known Little Red School-house. Continuing on our way, we stopped at Lexington and Concord, where we saw the famous Minute Man Statue at Concord Bridge. While in Lexington and Concord, we saw the homes and graves of many famous American authors. At last, after an arduous journey, we finally arrived at the Hotel Bradford in Boston, our home for the next three days. After getting settled and accustomed to our rooms, we went to the Old Oyster House for supper, where many of us got a real taste of sea food. That night no one could get any sleep, especially the girls in 648, with Wilma doing her exercises and then taking her nerve pills, cough medicine, nose drops and alka seltzer. Pillow fights were the main events in the boys' rooms. The manager spent most of the night running from room to room trying to keep us quiet. Finally fatigued from the day's events we fell asleep just in time, so it seemed to some, to get up the next morning. Tuesday, April 16— After being roused bright and early, we set about seeing the many sights in Boston which were pointed out by our guide, Mr. Winn. By now we had learned to call him Windy because of his gift of gab. We visited cultural Boston and saw many of its universities and colleges. At the Christian Science Building we were awed as we walked through the beautiful mapparium. Other points of interest visited were the Old State House, Boston Common, Granary Cemetery, King's Chapel and Burial Ground, Faneuil Hall, Home of Paul Revere, Bunker Hill Monument and Old Ironsides. And to top off this wonderful day, Mr. Winn took us to his Church, the Old North Church of Paul Revere fame. Being dare devils, we climbed the church steeple, where Virginia almost collapsed in Lloyd's arms. Wednesday, April 17— Today we visited some of the cities around Boston such as Lynn, Swampscott, Marblehead and Salem. At Marblehead we visited Abbott Hall, where we saw the original oil painting of the Spirit of 76. At Salem we visited Fort Sewall where everyone went down to the edge of the seashore over the rocks. We also visited the reproduction of the Pioneer village and the Arabella. Proceeding on our way, we visited Essex Institute and Peabody Museum. Before coming back to our hotel, we visited the famous House of Seven Gables and were also conducted on a tour of a Coast Guard Air Base. That night we held our Class Banquet and married Jane and Freddy. We concluded with a sentimental rendition of Auld Lang Syne. After that, some went to the Bradford Roof, while others went out. Thursday, April 18— We all hated to pack our bags that morning and leave our wonderful hotel. We boarded the bus to leave dear Boston and headed for home. On the way, we stopped at the Harvard Museum, where we saw a magnificent collection of flowers reproduced in glass. We saw Plymouth Rock and then made an ill-fated stop in Quincy at a rock quarry where many of us gathered memories of ripped nylons, scratched knees, and sprained ankles. As we neared Goshen we were sorry to get home We know we shall cherish memories of Boston forever. 26 GOSHEN PACER
