TECH THTLER LHHE SUCCESS. In the autumn of 1949 I represented Danforth Tech when sixteen Toronto school-girls were given trips to New York with expenses paid by the Board of Education. Although it is an experience now months old, it could have been yester- day, I remember it so clearly. I will endeavour to tell you some of the details of this wonderful trip. We left Malton Airport at 9.00 a.m. on Thursday morning in one of the forty-seater T.C.A. planes. It was the first time any of us had flown and we almost hung out of the window watch- ing the -dwarfed country drift by. Anne Goldstein, Jarvis C.I., and I had one of the best seats, just behind the wing. The hostess brought us hot chocolate and cookies about half-way over, we ate thankfully, remembering breakfast about 6.00 a.m. We went up front and spoke to the pilot and, first thing we knew, the plane was over New York preparing for a landing. Vifhat an immense place even from the air! I can only attempt to de-scribe it. Toronto would fit into downtown Manhattan and New York is about two hundred times that size. Happy Landing When we landed, the immigration officer boarded the plane and asked to see some identification. Well, I didn't have anything. I told him and he said, You don 't want to go back to Toronto so soon, do you? Everyone had left the plane and there I sat. Suddenly I remembered the morn- ing paper. The picture of Riverdale and Danforth cheerleaders was there, and that is how I got into the 'States. At Lake Success We immediately boarded a bus for Lake Success and, after an hour's drive, we got our first view of the building where world peace is being planned. It is of natural colour brick in a very 63 modern design, a converted factory we were told. In front there are the flags of the 59 nations in a circle and the U.N. flag in the centre-a very impress- ive sight and one I will never forget. We attended a meeting of the Politi- cal and Economic Council from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m., before supper we were pres- ent at the radio broadcast by King Gordon to Toronto from Lake Success. We had our dinner in the cafeteria and then went back to the city and to our hotel. Evening Entertainment We went straight back to the hotel, changed clothes, and rushed out to see the show at Radio City Music Hall. T-he Heiress was on the screen, and the Rockettes Q36 precision dancersl were on the stage. VVhat a terrific show! I had never seen anything like it before, and probably won't again for a long time. The four girls I stayed with and I bought some hamburgers and coffee and took them back to have a midnight feast in our hotel room. Up at 9.00 a.m. A clanging phone aroused our five tousled heads on Friday morning. It was 9.00 a.m. and the bus left at 10.00 a.m. Stretching wearily we got up, lined- up for a quick shower and a quicker breakfast, boarded the bus, and there we were at Lake Success again. We were supposed to see Flushing Meadows, Friday, but it seems that the U.N. wasn't feeling very co-opera- tive because they didn't have a session that day. Still, all joking aside, Friday was a really exciting day. We saw Mr. Vishinsky, and I sat there almost spell-bound listening to him speak for an hour. No, I can 't under- stand Russian!
