 OUR SENIOR TRIP” On Friday. April 8, fifteen members of our senior class and our chap- erones started out for Washington. D.C. on our long awaited senior trip. This trip was the object of all our money-making activities since the begin- ning of our freshman year in high school. Nearly all day Friday was spent on board the Empire Travel Club’s special train. We did not arrive at Washington until 6:15. The first few hours on the train were exciting and interesting for almost everybody but as the ride wore on so did everybody's enthusiasm, and as the sun went down so did the eyelids of some of us. But then at last, we were arriving at Union Station, Washington, D.C. and the worst part of our journey was over and before us were four days in our nation's capitol visiting all the interesting, historic places we had only read about before. After a relaxing sleep in the comfortable beds of the Fairfax Hotel, we set forth Saturday morning full of vim and vigor. Saturday we visited the Rock Creek Zoo, the Lincoln Memorial, Lee Mansion and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. We also enjoyed a complete sight-seeing tour of the city of Washington and visits to the Jefferson Memorial. Franciscan Monastery and the Aircraft Building. Sunday. April 10. was Easter Sunday and our class attended sunrise services at Arlington Cemetery and Franciscan Monastery. Sunday after- noon we visited Mount Vernon: Alexandria. Virginia: and the National Air- port. On Monday. April 11. we boarded Empire Travel Club's chartered coach and set out to visit the Bureau of Printing and Engraving. After seeing how our money is made, we then visited the United States Capitol Building where we were escorted to the Senate Chamber and the Chamber of the House of Representatives. Also, we visited the Library of Congress and the Supreme Court Building. Since the day was still young, some of the more athletic members of our group felt the need of some exercise so we climbed the 898 steps of the Washington Monument. Monday afternoon some of the mem- bers of our group toured Annapolis and the U. S. Naval Academy while others spent this time shopping or visiting places of individual interest. Mon. day evening found our entire class on board the S. S. Mount Vernon for a very exciting moonlight cruise on the Potomac River. On the morning of Tuesday, April 12. our group visited the Pan-Ameri- can Building, and the National Gallery of Art. At 2:00 P. M.. Tuesday. April 12. we boarded the Empire Club Special Train at Union Station and began our journey homeward. At 10:46 P.M. we arrived in Albany and our long awaited senior trip had changed from a far distant goal to one of the most cherished memories of our high school years. 20
