THE WASHINGTO TRIP At 7:20 on an unusually warm morning in November. 78 seniors, Mrs. Longenecker, Miss Gerber, Mr. Bucher and Mr. Koza sleepily boarded two Blue cmd White buses headed for Washington, D.C. F-. Although many of us seemed too sleepy to enjoy the ride. we were wide awake by the time we reached McConnelsburg, our first stop. Here we managed to grab a bite of breakfast before we were on our Way again. We arrived at the Washington Cathedral, our first touring stops about 12:00. Here we gazed on a truly beautiful site. This cathedral is being used by those who for official or un- official reasons are coming to Washington in large numbers. After leaving the Washington Cathedral, we headed for the zoo. We arrived there about 1:00 when the animals were feasting, and we were in grave danger. But we decided to join the crowd and fill our empty stomachs too. After we finished our fiesta, we paid the animals and reptiles our cordial hellos. When we decided the animals were tired looking at us, we departed from their home to continue our tour by visiting the famous Franciscan Monastery. After we toured the Monastery. we boarded the buses and we noticed that it was get- ting near eating time again. Thus the boys bade farewell to the girls and boarded the bus to go to the Burlington Hotel. We girls then went to our hotel and freshened up a bit and proceeded to Sholl's Cafeteria where we filled ourselves on delicious food. Our first evening stop was at the Wax Museum where, if you would stand still very long. you may be mistaken for one of the wax figures. The settings of The Alamo and Iohn Smith and Pocahontas were the two that impressed our group the most. The sports exhibit was also a prime favorite. This is the first year the Wax Museum was opened to school tours. The evening was completed after we visited Union Station and the Archives Building where original copies of the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitu- tion are kept. We arrived at our hotel at 10:30 P.M. to spend a restless night fThe boys probably had dreams of how they got out of the stuck elevator! I We were awakened early next morning to be told that we were scheduled to be at Sholl's at 7:30 for breakfast. . Thirty One

After leaving Sho1l's we toured the Lincoln and Iefferson Memorials. The Lincoln Memorial is of white Colorado-Yule marble. The plan is similar to that of the Parthenon, the temple to the goddess Athena on the Acropolis in Athens. Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address and his Gettysburg Address are inscribed on the wall. The exterior walls and dome of the Iefferson Memorial are of Danley Imperial panels carrying inscriptions based upon the writings of Iefferson describing the chief principles of his belief. After visiting these two remarkable memorials, we drove on to our next stop which was at the impressive Iwo lima Statue. This memorial is on 7112 acres of land bordering Arlington National Cemetery. We then proceeded to Arlington National Cemetery and observed the marvelous changing of guards at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. During the day we also visited the Washington Airport, Mount Vernon, the Library of Congress, the White House, and the Capitol. That evening, with Chinese waiters serving us, we enjoyed a superb meal and floor show at the Lotus Club. After we left the Lotus Club, we had a choice of entertainment for the evening. Swimming, dancing, and seeing a movie were the three choices of the group. Having enjoyed a thrilling day, we. exhausted, retired to our rooms. During the last day of our tour in magnificent Washington, we saw such sights as the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, the F.B.I. Building, Washington Monument, the Smithson- ian Institute, and various Embassies. At the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, we witnessed the process of making United States currency. An F.B.l. man guided us through the F.B.l. Building and showed us how many famous criminals were captured by this organization. A few tired seniors gallantly climbed the 50 flights of stairs of the Washington Mon- ument while others took the easy way and rode the elevator to view Washington, D.C.. from this high point. We ate our last lunch in Washington at the Government Cafeteria where many dif- ferent races of people eat. We spent our afternoon touring the famous Smithsonian Institute. Many seniors liked the historical part of the institute. One of the favorite attractions was the Hope Diamond. After spending about three hours in this fabulous institute, we were informed that it was time to depart from Washington. Our guide showed us various Embassies on our way out of the city. We, then, wearily said farewell to our guide and left for home. We, longing for some wonderful sleep, after spending three glorious days in Wash- ington, D.C.. arrived at the school about 8:30 P.M. Thus ended another memorable chap- ter of our life at C.R.H.S. Thirty Two
