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.
