boat stopped at Marshall Park for an hour. Many of us went on the rides and through the Fun House. We ar- rived back at the hotel about 1:00 A.M., having had a wonderful time but also very tired. Wednesday morning we started the day by meeting with Senator Margar- et Chase Smith. Later that morning we had an interesting tour of the U. S. Capitol and Senate buildings. At 11:15 we left for Annapolis. Many of us visited the Chapel and the Crypt of John Paul Jones. At 3:00 we watch- ed the magnificent dress parade. Af- ter the parade Charlie Masalin came aboard the bus and talked to us. That evening was also free. Some went swimming, some to Cinerama. Others went to see the movie, A Man Called Peter. Thursday morning at 7:30 we left for Gettysburg, Pa., where We saw the lighted map and also President Eisenhower's farm in the distance. We arrived at the Hotel Chesterfield in New York late in the afternoon. That evening we went to Cinerama, the R.C.A. roof, movies, Times Square or St. Patrick's Cathedral. Friday morning we went by subway to Battery Park, where we took the ferry to the Statue of Liberty. At noon we went to the Radio City Music Hall to see the Easter Pageant. We especially enjoyed watching the fa- mous Rockettes. After the show we took a tour of the R.C.A. Broadcast- ing and Television Studios. Some of the members of the group saw them- selves on Television. The rest of the afternoon was free, and most of the girls went shopping at Macy's, Saks, and Gimbels. After eating supper at a nearby cafeteria, we assembled in the lobby of the Hotel Chesterfield. There we divided into two groups. Most of the students went to the cir- cus and the rest went to the play, Kismet. Saturday morning at 7:30 we left New York City for Camden. We tried to sleep, but most of our time was oc- cupied by singing. We arrived in Cam- den at 9:20 P.M. We were very tired, THE MEGUNTICOOK 11 but, oh, what a wonderful trip we had! Our only wish is that next year's class and all other classes have as great a time as we did. i WHAT WOULD HAPPEN T0 THE SENIOR CLASS IF- Betty Boo couldn't laugh? Peter had a good memory?

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
