And, now, the big, wide world is stretched before us, a world in which, as our class motto says, UThe Road to the Top is Rugged.N Sylvia Hawkes 9.25.52 1113.22 Early on the morning of April 18, 1959, after a two-hour wait, we started on our class trip--destination New York City. Mrs. Grant and Mrs. Phinney were our chaperones. we were very lucky, for we made only one change in busses, in Bangor, Maine. From there on, we rode express, which was a quicker and much nicer ride. At Hartford, Conn., Mrs. Grant's sister, Mrs. Berry, met no and presented us with chocolates. A Mrs. Phinney won the prize for the best sleeper on our trip down. She made a business of it. Excitement kept the seniors awake, and Mrs. Grant had trouble finding room for her feet. At 6:30 p, m., and right on time, we rolled into the 50th Street Greyhound Terminal and took three taxis to the Piccadilly Hotel on hSth Street. This was so centrally located that we used taxis only to leave and enter the bus terminal and this because of our heavy luggage. Wehad four nice rooms at the hotel, w th radios and telephones in each, and these were in constant use.
