C. Our bus driver for the trip was Frank Conant, and he soon became a good friend to all of us. Even though most of us hadn't slept much the night be- fore, we sang practically all of the way. We reached New York City at 6:00 P.M. and drove through Harlem, which greatly fascinated us. We final- ly reached our destination, the Hotel Chesterfield, at 7 :30. After supper many of us went to the top of the R.C.A. Building or to the top of the Empire State Building. The beautiful panorama of the miles of colored lights that we saw from those build- ings will long remain in our minds. Many of us had never seen anything THE MEGUNTICOOK 9 like it before. We attempted to sleep that night, but no one was able to for more than four hours. Sunday morning many of us had planned to attend church at St. Pat- rick's Cathedral, but no one got up in time to go. We had an early breakfast and left New York for Washington at 7:30, stopping in Philadelphia. We visited Independence Hall and saw the Liberty Bell. Also I might add, Sandra finally got to see Dyer for two or three minutes! The next stop was at Valley Forge, where we toured the headquarters of George Washington. We arrived in Washington at the Ho- tel Burlington about 5:30. After get- ting unpacked and settled, we ate sup- 'per at the Dee Cee Diner which was to be our hangout , so to speak, while in Washington. That evening we toured the Archives Building, where we saw many important docu- ments, including the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Then we visited the National Gallery of Art. We next visited the lighted Lincoln and J efferson Memorials. Monday morning we had a guided tour through the Bureau of Printing and Engraving, where 10 billion dol- lars' worth of paper money is made each day. It broke our hearts to see them burning up the old bills. Why couldn't they donate a little to us? While we were waiting for this tour to begin, we had a singing bee with a school from the South. Just as we started on our tour, however, they gave a big cheer for Maine! At 8:45 we visited the Washington Monu- ment. Most of us went up in the ele- vator, but some of the more ambitious students climbed up. At 9:25 we left for the Smithsonian Institute, where we tried to see all we could before 1:00. We were very interested in the Museum of Natural History and the Army Medical Museum. We ate at the Government Cafeteria that noon. Af- ter dinner we left by bus for Arling- ton National Cemetery. We got there in time to see nearly the whole cere- mony of the Changing of the Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. We visited the huge amphitheatre

10 THE MEGUNTICOOK WASHINGTON TRIP and saw the mast of the Battleship Maine. At 1:30 we left for Mount Vernon. Most of us were very im- pressed with the lovely home, grounds, and the beautiful view. On the way back to Washington we pass- ed the National Masonic Memorial at Alexandria, Va. At 4:00 we again went to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier where we saw the complete ceremony of the Changing of the Guard. We drove around the new Iwo Jima Marine Memorial on the way back from Arlington. After ar- riving in Washington We visited the Congressional Library. This was probably the most beautiful building any of us had ever seen. That evening was free. Some went swimming at the Hotel Ambassador pool. Others went to Cinerama and quite a num- ber went with Mr. and Mrs. Webber to see the movie, East of Eden. That night most of us sent a lot of cards home. Carolyn LaCombe, by the way, sent 15 post cards but forgot to put stamps on them. That proves how tired we were! Tuesday morning at 8:15 we left for the Pan American Union Building. We enjoyed our tour very much, and many bought souvenirs at the gift shop there. At 9:30 we got in line for the tour through the White House. We once again had lunch at the Gov- ernment Cafeteria. Some little Negro boys sang and danced for us beside the bus afterwards. They surely had rhythm. At 12 noon we left for our trip to the Skyline Caverns, 69 miles outside of Washington. The Caverns are supposed to be over 7,000,000 years old. This tour was one of the most fascinating of all. On returning to Washington we cleaned up, had supper, and at 7:30 we left by bus for a cruise and dance on the Potomac River on the boat Mount Vernon. The
