6 THE MEGUNTICOOK place. As Wednesday evening was free, some went to the ball game be- tween the Yankees and the Senators, others went shopping, and still others packed for the long journey back to New York in the morning. Thursday, on our return to New York, we visited Gettysburg and the famous Electric Map, which is used to relate the famous battle of Gettys- burg. After hearing the lecture of the battle, we boarded the bus and toured the grounds and saw the Ei- senhower farm in the distance. We arrived at the Bristol Hotel in New York early that evening. Two gen- tlemen of the party celebrated birth- days this eveningg the rest either helped with the birthday celebrating, went to the television show, Down You Go, or toured the city. Friday morning we visited the Statue of Liberty via subway and boat. We ate a light lunch on Bedloe's Island, then returned to the city and the Radio City Music Hall. There we saw part of the movie, Serenade, and the stage show, featuring the Rockettes in their Easter Pageant. After the stage show, we crossed the street to the NBC studios where we saw many of the techniques used in producing a radio or TV show. After the tour the afternoon was free. This time was used for shopping and sight- seeing. Friday evening we all attend- ed the third edition of Cinerama call- ed The Seven Wonders of the W orld. At 7:30 Saturday morning, the remnants of thirty-seven tired and weary seniors dragged themselves to the bus and left New York for the long ride home, arriving about 8:15 p.m. What a tired lot! But as we look back on the fun and thrills, we can only wish that everyone who is lucky enough to take this trip in following years will have as great a time as we experienced. CLASS POEM This is what happened to us, The nineteen fifty-six classy Though, now, we're all on our own, We can always share our past. We find our class president, Ronny, Hasn't settled down yet, He's now mayor of Lincolnville, He'll get hooked soon, I bet! Linda and Elaine became nurses, They got their R.N.'s, we found, But instead of 'talking care of their patients, They're busy chasing doctors around! Dick L. and Butch haven't parted yet, Although each has a family of threeg They finally married cute little twins, That makes them relatives, you see! Jean graduated from college, And her other wish also came true, She and the Mr. settled down with two kids. Well, Jean, best of luck to you! Roger, Bob D., Charlie, Eddie, Norman, and Bob C. Graduated from the University of Maine, They're very proud of their classmate, Bob Dean, Bein' the world's slowest person brought him fame! Gloria, Pat W., Dawn, and Pat H. were sec- retaries, And many a handsome boss they had, But they finally married millionaires, I don't think thaJt's doing too bad! David H. just roams the world around, And does nothing all the time, He tried to be another millionaire, But ended up without a dime! Sally and Keryn have a TV program, It's called Sweethearts from Camden High , Even though they're nort married yet, When you see one, the o-ther's nearby! Joyce and Joan are always traveling, They're going 'round the world again. Do you suppose the sights interest them, Or is it just the men? Carl W. is now famous for his cookin', He's taken over Agnes Gibbs' show, It really doesn't matter what he cooks, Because he thrills the ladies so! In a few years Cheryl became a secretary, Then she and Frank settled down, But she soon quit her secretarial job, She was busy chasing Frank, Jr., around! Mary Raynes is now a teacher, In dear old Camden High, She has proved to be an efficient one, And Danny, of course, is nigh!
