The Class of '50 began their Crusading for One World by crusading to Washington, April 23-29. The tour began on Sunday morning after a talk by Rev. Frederick Heidelberg when the rebels bcarded the Blue Goose and the Clipper and began their ride to Marion, Virginia, where thep spent the first night. The next day the loyal confederates and one Yankee visited the tomb of the great old leader of the Southern cause, General Robert E. Lee at the Washington and Lee University, Lexington, Virginia, where they bought confederate flags. A stop was made at Natural Bridge where the crowd milled around in the souvenir shop, and the quartet made a lively recording. Some of the group, by this time, had begun sucking lemons for their health. Things were going fine until they got to a place called SteeIe's Tavern where the Clipper broke down, and after a three-hour wait, the Blue Goose took over. The crowded bus arrived in the capital of our land after I:OO p. m. with the group singing Dixie and waving their confederate flags. The Cairo Hotel was really bom- barded then. The next morning the crusade really began in earnest with the first stop being the Washington Monu- ment. There several of the rebs climbed to the top and down again to get themselves in condition. Then the Seniors went to watch the Bureau of Printing and Engraving put out the United States' money. Mise Steele surely dicIn't like it when a pile of money was dropped, he thought they ought to be more careful. A large number of the crowd wanted to see a big league game, but Weather Prophet Hucks said the game would be called off because of rain. It was, so, the capitol building claimed the small army. That night the biggest thrill for many came when the kids, including Mr. Davis, Miss Roberts, and Miss Sandlin rode the roller coaster at Glen Echo Amusement Park. The next day the tour included Arlington National Cemetery, Lincoln Memorial, Jefferson Memorial, and the Smithsonian Institute. In the afternoon the crowd was given free run, with one bus going to Annapolis. That night was the highlight with the long awaited banquet given to the Auburn team by the losing Tide. The guest speakers were Senator John Sparkman and Congressman Robert Jones. Immediately following the banquet the Blue Goose soared to the local theatres depositing Senior movie fans. Next day, the trip home began, with five iournalists going back to Lexington for the Press Confer- ence there. The favorite expression on the bus had been picked up from some boys in Washington, Let's go down to Marty's. What with a lot of different mix-ups Daniel Boone Wall finally directed us to Winston-Salem, again after I:OO p. m. The Camel cigarette factory, located there, presented the Seniors with mechanical pencils before leaving next morning. It was then that Mrs. Murphy began to really interfere in earnest with the trip. She walked up and down the aisles scaring people with her horrible looks. Looking closer, however, we saw that this was only Buster Hill. The group stopped for dinner that day in Richmond, the capitol of the Confederacy and later to view the colonial village, Williamsburg. The next day was mostly mountains, as the traveling was through the Smokies. At Gatlinburg that night, Joan and .Ioe Macon, running true to form, were the first in and the last served. That day the group had stopped at the Cherokee Indian Reservation for a view of our Feathered Friends. Next night was home with the strains of Dixie resounding loudly from a trip and a companion- ship never to be forgotten. Page 23
