THE GATHERER 23 Empire State Building, so we made that our next stop. Amid the confusion, we somehow managed to get a few pictures taken, and, as many of us will probably never see it again, the pictures will serve as reminders. Most of us went to an Oriental restaurant, the China Dor, for dinner. The food was delicious and new to most of us. That evening, we went to the Roxie to see a movie, The Snowx of Kilimanjaro. It was 1:30 when we got to sleep, but we thought our First day in New York was worth the wear and tear. The next morning, we arose early in order to start our tour of the United Slater. You would have thought, with our arms loaded down with souvenirs, that were just back from a tour. Since the boat was leaving for Europe in a few hours, we were left to explore the ship by ourselves. We toured the state- rooms, the gymnasium, the drawing room, the dining room, the swimming pool, and all the decks--everything but the engine room. We ate lunch, and then continued our sight-see- ing by visiting the museums. At 6:00, we were waiting to take the train to Scarsdale, Betsy Clavel's home. After being served a delicious supper by Mrs. Clavel, we attended many Halloween parties. At 11:00, Mr. Cla- vel loaded the eleven of us into his car, and drove us around to see the city by night. We saw the Brooklyn Bridge, the George Wash- ington Bridge, Chinatown, Rockefeller Cen- ter, and by a little fibbing, we even got into the Waldorf Astoria. By 2:00, we were back at the hotel and very tired. Saturday morning, we explored the Bronx Zoo. After eating our lunch, we took the ferry to Bedloe's Island to see the Statue of Liberty. It was a little foggy, but we man- aged to get a good view of it. Around 3:00, we went back to New York City to go shop- ping. The girls went by themselves, and got a little tangled up in their directions, but managed to get back to the hotel an hour and a half late. That night we saw a basketball game at Madison Square Garden. The fea- ture attraction was the game between the Globetrotters and the Baltimore Bullets. A few of us wanted to go to church, so we chose St. Patrick's Cathedral. This church is the most beautiful one I have ever seen. It is built after the Gothic style, and has a lovely rose window. After church, we walked over to Rockefeller Center to watch the skaters. We then returned to the hotel, packed our suitcases, and checked out. By 4:30, we were on the bus, headed for home. At Boston, we stopped to change buses, and discovered that the bus had broken down, and we would have to wait awhile. At 7:00, the next morning, we pulled into Belfast, where we were met by Mrs. Colwell, and Mrs. Fulton Weed. We arrived at Deer Isle at 8:30, just in time for school, but were excused for the day. It was a very strenuous trip, but one will never forget. This is one of the many experiences that go to make our four years at Deer Isle High School the most enjoyable of our lives.
