With a deeper understanding of our coun- try’s government, students returned home after an eventful weekend in Washington, D.C. The touring juniors and seniors left the Erie Railroad station Wednesday morning, October 24. Along the way they stopped briefly at Ohio State University for dinner and a movie. The next stop was Charlottes- ville, Virginia, where they viewed Monticello, the famous home of Thomas Jefferson, and the University of Virginia. Arriving in Washington, the students checked in at the hotel. The next day, sight- seeing buses carried the travelers to the Bur- eau of Printing and Engraving, the Museum of Natural History, the Smithsonian Institute, and the National Gallery of Art. That even- ing Washington’s night life was explored, highlighted by a floor show and dinner at the Casino Royal. Early the following morning, Mr. Earl Fruehling, a chaperon from Hammond High School, and several students were interview- ed before the White House on coast to coast television. The topic of this interview was the Cuban situation. On to Williamsburg and Jamestown, Vir- ginia, the last leg of the journey, students toured the old town and were extremely in- terested in the guardhouse, the governor’s palace and gardens; but most of all, the public stock. Concluding this tour was an excursion to the first colony settled in Amer- ica, Jamestown. Rolling in Tuesday morning, October 30, was a fatigued and weary band who truly agreed that never again would there be a Washington trip like the one of 1962.
