Lederle — ——------------------ Occi Ti atAitupfoa 7life----------------------- Early Monday morning, April 6, a bright, alert group of thirty-nine, including students and the chaper- ones, Mr. and Mrs. Van Popering and Mr. Tompkins, boarded the Long Island Railroad, for what we hoped would be an enjoyable and refreshing ride. Far from this, we found the journey to New York in the plush-lined fauna- filled seats a jolting experience. Arriving at Penn Station at approximately 9:30 A. M., we were met by our guide, Mr. Von der Schmidt, who aided in successfully switching to a more comfortable Pennsylvania train for the remainder of the trip. Catching a train at a very early six in the morning .... dining at a very rapid speed .... Who has the nail polish — What? Another run ! . . . . RAIN .... Bob, our obliging bus driver with his paneful jokes . . . our competent Capitol guide .... the enormous Library of Congress (it was, wasn't it Myra and Jeannette?) . . . . ham .... the Hotel Martinique .... the vast treasures of the Smithsonian Institute .... the amiable but igno- rant (of Greenport, L. I.) cab drivers .... the Bureau of Printing and Engraving .... the dress parade at Annap- olis Naval Academy .... the White House in the rain .... Washington's home at Mount Vernon .... the old buildings of Alexandria .... the discovery of Frieda's ring .... the changing of the guard at the grave of the Unknown Soldier .... the fun packed into evenings free .... Glen Echo .... Myra's lost and then found wallet .... the beautiful blue Potomac .... the beauty of the view from the lawn of Mount Vernon .... con- fusion of Washington's traffic situation .... the congenial atmosphere in the hotel .... Mr. Tompkins and Bernie with their required hats .... after midnight snacks .... the friendly greetings of I'm the House Dick the majestic appearance of all the noted buildings in Washington, D. C..the catacombs at the Francis- can Monastery .... sleepless nights .... Ed K.'s lost three hours train ride . . . At 12:00 Thursday, April 9th, we bade the Hotel Martinique and all our newly-made friends goodbye as we left on the last event of our journey — going home. Arriving at Penn Station, we again boarded the Long Island for the last 100 miles of our Washington trip. Evening saw us home again — eagerly relating the high- lights of an unforgettable excursion. — 18 —

Section, 'PCcuf THE CAST: Mrs. Dermott Katherine Tresham Oliver Constantine Pappas Evangeline Venetia Mullen Sylvia Susan Horn Bobbie Joyce Emma Jean Davis I'll Leave It To You was the hilarious play presented by the Senior Class on November 21, 1952. All who saw it agreed it was a very successful dramatic endeavor on the part of the Seniors. The entire cast worked very diligently at rehearsals and turned out to be a polished group of thespians. An amusing story, the play centered around the arrival of Uncle Dan Davis. He prom- ised the members of the Dermott family his sizable fortune if they would only make good. However, the family found out that Uncle Dan was virtually a poor man and many humorous scenes followed. Daniel Davis ............. William Horne Mrs. Crombie ....... Susan Van Popering Faith Crombie ............ Beryl Lederle Griggs .................... John Monsell Much credit is due the prompters and stage crew who did superior work backstage. The play, of course, could not have been a success without the capable direction of Mr. Thorn. He was ably assisted by a faculty committee comprised of Miss Ham- ilton, Mrs. Van Popering, and Mr. Tompkins.
