Wednesday the class visited the Capitol, the FBI building, and the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Later they enjoyed a dress parade at the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. That evening entertainment included a choice of swimming at the Ambassador Hotel pool, movies, or a nightclub. Thursday the class saw the impressive Wash- ington National Cathedral and Washington Zoo, and spent considerable time at the wondrous Smithsonian Institute. Friday marked the departure from the nation’s capital, and the afternoon and evening were spent in New York City, enjoying shopping, a circus, the Palisades, a television show, or the movies. At 9:30 an exhausted but elated group began the homeward trek to beloved Camden. At 7:10 the class sadly dismounted from the buses for the last time, and each member went his separate way (in most cases home to bed!) carrying many treasured souvenirs and rolls of film.
