5enchfz6J4447'uZ. A dream became a reality on t.he rainy morning of April 19, when the senior class embarked on its long awaited New York Trip. Forty-one damp but cheerful seniors and their chaperones, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Cheney, Mr. and Mrs. S. J. Dyke, and Mr. and Mrs. Howard Travis, met at the bus garage at 7:30 A. M. to board the buses which would take them to Lyons where they would board the train that would take them to the big city. The train arrived at 9:00 A. M. and the entire class settled down to catch their breath. The time on the train was spent in singing, reading, talking, playing cards or in exploring the rest of the train. When we arrived at G. C. T., a bus was waiting for us which took us to the Shelton Hotel, our home for the next four days. After getting settled in our rooms, we all went out for dinner and then to liadio City Music Hall to see the movie Rose-Marie, the magnifieient Easter Pag- eant, and the Rockettes. After this, some went to Times Square and the rest went back to the hotel where the day's events were discussed. On Tuesday morning we arose tired but eager, and after breakfast we all walk- ed to Rockefeller Center and went up to the observation roof to enjoy a breath- taking view of the still unfamiliar city. At 10:00 we took a bus to the UN where we enjoyed a guided tour which brought to reality the immensity of this world organization. After lunch, some of the class toured the French liner, Flandre. Others shopped, went sports-car hunting, or made use of the luxurious swimming pool in our hotel. Tuesday evening we went to see the movie, Yankee Pasha and the floor show featuring Julius Laliosa. This was enjoyed by everyone and afterwards we all went to Broadway and did our share of touring on the Great White Way. Wednesday morning after some of the class went to see Dave Garroway, our still excited class boarded a bus for a lectured tour of upper and lower New York from Grant's Tomb to Battery Park. We stopped at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine and walked through Chinatown where we all enjoyed the strange sights of this truly unusual place. After lunch we went to see the Broadway show, Wonderful Town which starred Carol Channing. That evening we went to the Perry Como Show and then to the Hotel New Yorker where we all enjoyed an informal dance sponsored by the Van Zile Tours. Thursday morning, still marvelling at the gorgeous weather, we boarded a boat for the Circle Line Cruise which gave us a wonderful excursion around the city, including the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, and many other inviting sights. ln the afternoon part of the class toured the N. B. C. Studios where they saw some familiar TV stars, while the rest explored the subways or took a much needed nap. At 6:30 P. M. we had our class banquet in the Grille Room at the Hotel Taft where Vincent Lopez and his orchestra entertained us while we enjoyed a wonderful meal. After dinner we danced and then took one last look at Broadway before we returned to the Hotel Shelton to pack for the trip home. For the grand climax, many of the class saw President and Mrs. Eisenhower as they left the Waldorf- Astoria Hotel. Continued on page 73 27
