We had had only three practices at the Community House, however, when we were told that the new community building had been made ready for our use. There were rules and regulations laid out to us before the opening, but we all cooper- ated and soon were playing. At Hrst, the large playing surface was dillicult for us to get used to but after two or three practices, we got along fine. It seems as though there should be more girls out for this sport. It is very interesting and having one of the best gyms in the county should mean something to every one of us. The girls having played most on the first team this year were Myrtle Voter, Dorothy Torsey, Alice Torsey, Dorris Toothaker, Dolena Walker, lean Boothby, Geraldine Kenniston and Lilla McLaughlin. NVith only two graduating, the team will be prac- tically the same. We all wish to thank our coaches, Mr. Mitchell and Miss Morrell for their excellent coaching through this year and hope that they continue to help the girls. A better cooperation should be shown in the teams and not so much of this rivalry between players in the years to come. It isn't good playing that counts as much as good team work.

X Q OUR CLASS TRIP OF ,41 N the twenty-Hrst day of March, nine seniors started on our 7-day trip to Washington, D. C. We started from Phil- lips in cars which were to take us to the station in Rumford. There we took the train to Boston where we boarded the Meteor i' at the Colonial Line Pier. The Meteor 'I took us to New York, and the Green Tour Buses took us from there to Washington. I shall now mention some of the places at which we stopped on the way. First, the buses took us through the Hol- land Tube which was IZ, miles in length. We stopped at the Annapolis Naval Campus where 200 young men are in training, and a variety of sports for their use. After leav- ing there, one of the large ferries took us across the Delaware River in a short time and we ended our ride at Washington for a while. lust mentioning the places there that we saw doesn't do justice to the capitol, but I will tell in brief some of them. We rode through Potomac Park the Tida Bacin where the Iapanese Cherry Trees are planted. They were only in bud when we were there. We also enjoyed a ride along the famous and historical Penn- sylvania Avenue and a walk through the many rooms of the White House. The Washington Monument is 555 ft. 6 inches in heighth. We went to the top in elevators as the stairway fcontaining 898 steps, were out of condition. A good view could be seen from all four sides of the monument. A guide took us through the bureau of Engraving and Printing where all of our around paper money is made. At the Lincoln Me- morial we saw the three expressions on the face of the enormous granite statue of Lin- coln. A short time was spent in the U. S. Supreme Court. In the Library of Congress we saw the smallest volume of the Consti- tution of America and the wonderful Mosaic Painting made of millions of small stones. We motored to Washington's Mansion at Mount Vernon where many of the old fash- ioned pieces of furniture are still retained. In all, Washington was very interesting and easy to Find your way around in as it was planned and developed under the L'Enfant Plan. As much as we hated to, we had to leave the beautiful city Tuesday morning for New York. We had luncheon at Pennsylvania, and went through the Betsy Ross House, Inde- pendence Hall, and passed the Old Burial Ground where Benjamin and Mrs. Franklin are buried. We arrived at the Taft Hotel in New York about 5 P. M. That evening was spent in the National Broadcasting Studios, Radio City, and Ben Bernie's Show. The next morning was free. Many of us went shopping on Fifth Ave- nueg others went to the top of the Empire State Building. This building is the tallest in the worldg the top, in a heavy storm or wind will sway from three to six feet. The K' Little Church Around the Corner was of interest as many of the movie stars go there to be married. Coming back on the Ar- row we left the Statute of Liberty and the high sky scrapers in the distance. This
