“BOWL BOUND Early on the dismal morning of Decem- ber 13th, thirty-four sleepy-eyed boys and their coaches boarded the train at South Station for New Orleans. At last the long-awaited game with Warren Easton High, which they had earned as a result of winning the State Class A Champion- ship, was at hand. It didn’t take us very long to find the dining car and after a hearty breakfast, we settled down to reading and playing cards which, interspersed with more meals, oc- cupied the rest of the day. Night found us anticipating our first experience in a sleeping car. After jumping from one sleeper to another for about two hours, we finally became exhausted and settled down for the night. The next morning we were awakened promptly at six thirty, got off the train, and ran for about five miles. This was just a small bit of our training. Having spent that day and night on the train, we finally reached New Orleans our third morning out of Boston. We were cor- dially welcomed there by the C. Y. O. officials, and boarded a bus bound for the Jung Hotel. Once at the hotel, we had breakfast and immediately went up to our rooms to unpack. We were on our own” for about three hours that morning to take in all the famous spots in the illustrious old city; but Canal Street, the largest business street m the world, was first on our list. Fol- lowing this excursion we had another practice from 12:30 to 5:30, after which we went to Antoine’s, the most famous restaurant in the world, and enjoyed a de- licious dinner. The following morning we took a de- lightful boat ride up the Missis sippi River — and, of course, had practice that after- noon; but Friday night was a quiet one, spent in the hotel. Saturday morning we went out and shopped around for souvenirs from this memorable trip. After this we had a light practice and went out Saturday night for just a short time as the day for the big game was just ahead of us. Sunday morning we all attended the Mass celebrated at the beautiful Cathe- dral, which was followed by a delicious steak dinner. The game was next on the agenda. Al- though defeated by a score of 26 to 13, we nevertheless had the satisfaction of knowing we had played a good game, fought hard and fairly, and done our New Orleans, La..

TtnUfL level best. After resting up, we saw movies of this famous game which Coach Toz” had taken, which we enjoyed im- mensely. At exactly eleven o’clock, we boarded the train for the long ride home. Atlanta, Georgia, Washington, and New York City were cities in each of which we spent a full, educational and very pleasant day. Upon arriving home, we were given a very gracious and enthusiastic welcome by our fellow students at the station, and w ' e all appreciated whole-heartedly their en- couraging support. We can never fully express our grati- tude to Mr. Morrill, to the School Com- mittee, and to the loyal citizens of Arling- ton who gave us permission and the finan- cial ability to make this never-to-be-forgot- ten trip.
