-25- THE TRIPS TO 'WASHINGTON For three years the seniors of Clarksburg High School have taken trips to various points of interest. The first of these trips was made in June, 1955, when both the Seniors and the Jun iors went to Washington D. C. in a local school bus. The trip lasted seven days, and the entire distance traversed was about llOO miles. The next year the Juniors and Seniors went to Detroit, Buf falo, Niagara Falls, Cleveland, Akron, and Columbus on a trip that took them 108C miles in six days. This time they went in private automobiles. In June, 1937, the Seniors, without the Juniors this time, ventured on a fourteen day trip through the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, along the Sky Line drive of the Blue Ridge to Wash ington, then to Annapolis, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Atlantic - City, New York City, West Point and the Hudson Valley to Sche- nectady, up the Mohawk Valley to Buffalo, Niagara Falls, Cleve- land, Columbus, and home. This trip, in private automobiles, was the most ambitious yet attempted, although the Class of 1958 hope to duplicate it, or go even farther. Time goes fast on these journeys, and they end all toe quickly. But the members of the classes and their chaperone have the privilege of seeing many important and interesting places. The Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, the library of Congress, Mount Vernon, Arlington, and many other ' outstanding places are visited. The Smithsonian Institute takes at least a day of the four days generally allotted to Washington, although a month could be used there profitably. Then the Capitol is of course visited, so that Congress may be seen in action. A boat ride down the Potomac at night pro- vides a good, restful diversion as a closing event to the vis- it at the Nation's Capital. The United States Naval Academy at Annapolis is always interesting. Last year, however, it was scarcely the half-way mark of the'rip. Baltimore, Philadelphia, Atlantic City, and especially New York City intriguingly beckoned the expectant Seniors, who found this part of the trip even more thrilling than the days in Washington. Poe's grave and Fort McHenry in Baltimore, Independence and Carpenters Halls in Philadelphia, the Board Walk at Atlantic City, and even a view of the wreck of the Zeppelin, Hindenburg, left their indelible impression on the memories of the students, but New York City, with its Statue of Liberty, its harbor, subways, great ocean liners, skyscrapers, and Great White Way provided just as vivid mem- cries. Then back to the road again, the peaceful scenes of rural New York, the majestic Hudson, the Eric Canal, and fin- ally Niagara Falls--all are merely high spots in never-to-be- forgotten Journeys to places of world-wide interest. The classes return with a feeling of deep gratitude bo their friends who, by their support of various entertainments, help to make these trips possible.
