Everyone was up and ready about nine. Three young ladies gayly bedecked with corsages started out to find a church. Instead of inquiring they wandered aimlessly finding only a Bohemian and a Christian Science church. Some young men, however, had better luck. Stuie and his pals went to Hoover's church, Friends' Church. There, not far away from him, they studied our President. About two o'clock the busses left the hotel for Mr. Alban, site of the Episcopal Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul, in whose Bethlehem chapel are buried Woodrow Wilson and Admiral Dewey. From there we went to the Zoological park. There was much fear for some of the members of the party but as we found the cages well filled it was soon disbanded. On our return from this most interesting place, some of our friends actually managed to find time to eat and clean up a bit. Then at 7:30 those who had ambition enough and no more important place to go were taken to the Congress- sional Library to view with awe the old manuscripts of the makers of our country and with admiration the wonderful paintings and mosaic work on the walls and ceilings of that magnificent building. Many of the girls decided then and there to buy at least one mosaic bracelet from the cute little Chinese souvenir shop near the hotel. Evening by no means ended the day for upon their return to the hotel the Warsaw bunch immediately began to talk it over, write home, or just plain raise cane. Tuesday, April 22, 1930 Tuesday morning we visited the Bureau of Printing and Engraving where we saw the people making money. There were more stamps and money in that building than any of us ever expected to see at one time. Over one half the employees in the building are women. Most of the party got a big kick out of seeing one or two of the male employees driving around the building in little cars, on which they carried paper. Next we went to the Corcoran Art Gallery where we saw many statues and watched an artist painting pictures. We did not spend much time in this place. Then we walked over to the State, War, and Navy building which is a short distance from the Art Gallery. The next stop was the treasury where we saw many old coins and a few pictures. In this building there is also the flag which was hanging from Lin- coln's box at Ford Theatre when he was assassinated. At the White House We saw the paintings of all the presidents' wives except Mrs. Hoover. We also saw several rooms in the house but we did not see the Z5 1' XX X1 Q A a g as F 20

Some of our party went sightseeing, two or three of the boys rented cars and went riding, some went swimming at the Ambassador, while the rest stayed at the hotel and slept or read or visited. ln the evening some of us went to a show while others remained at the hotel and threw sneezing powder at anyone who came near them. We paraded the halls until early in the morning and then to bed but try and sleep! ! Wednesday Oh yes! I remember now. It was on the Wednesday A. M. about 4:30 that Harold Byrant awoke from dreams of happy childhood, to find himself sharing his bed with a quantity of ice water. Against our wishes we arose at an early hour and packed our baggage to leave the towers and domes of the Capital City. At 9:30 we set out on a last bus tour of historic Washington together with the scenic beauty of its parks. We stopped for ten minutes at the Lincoln Memorial and then toured through the park along the banks of the Potomac. The roadway was bordered by thejapanese flowering cherry trees in full bloom. We passed by Ford's theatre where Lincoln was assassinated and then visited the section of the foreign ministers. We returned to our hotel about II 215 and were held up in the hotel until a large part of our baggage had been searched and a large number of room numbers recovered. We lunched hurriedly and left in busses for Union Station. At one o'clock we left Washington and after an hour and a half of monotonous travel we arrived in Annapolis where we fol- lowed guides on a walking tour of the various churches, state buildings and naval academy where the guard was marching and other cadets were engaged in spring football, baseball, handball and gym exercises. We left the Academy in electric cars and then came three more hours of train travel. We reached Philadelphia only to find ourselves enveloped in a snow storm. lt reminded us of good ol New York state. The trip was almost over. The busses which were to take us to the station were waiting. We boarded them and very shortly arrived at Reading Terminal and after lugging our baggage u a long flight of stairs faced the fact that the gates were closed and we wouldjhave to wait. Sitting around on our luggage we couldn't have looked as dejected as we felt for a stranger in passing asked if this was a stage troup. lt was about this time that Hady Humphrey while buying a magazine con- fided to the sales girl that Car. Keeney was his sister. At last the gates were open and we boarded the train. After lugging our heavy suitcases the length of the train in a vain search for the Warsaw car we were informed there was no such thing. We discovered friends and prepared for the ride home. About ten o'clock a gang of boys togged out from all suitcases appeared to patrol the train. They deemed it necessary to pass out white slips to everyone in the car. About the only casualty was the loss of Car. Keeney's box of salt water taffy. gif? ff-- Avi N ttf' 'iif 1 2l K1
