SENIOR TRIP Or Washington Here We Come!! Monday, March 31 -- 3:45 a.m. -- All of us are excited as we scramble into the school bus, on our way to Scranton. We certainly are a happy bunch in our new outfits, all dolled up and ready for the trip. Washington -- here we come!! Seven o'clock now, when we arrive in Scranton where we board the Jersey Central Train. We meet Mr. Robinson, our guide for the tour, and half of us play pinochle, while the rest sleep, as we make the best of the long journey ahead. To think that we have a whole car to our- se ves!! The train stops at Philadelphia where we eat our lunch, then back to the train. It's midafternoon by the time we reach Baltimore, Maryland. Our private bus, and driver Melvin Berrick, is waiting for us. He is nice, very nice, indeed. The bus takes us first to the Franciscan Monastery where we wander through the beautiful cata- combs. Since it is Lent, many of the statues are swathed in purple. Among the other places we visited the Altar of Calvary, the Martyr's Crypt, Purgatory Chapel, and the Grotto of Bethlehem. At last we're settled at the Ebbitt Hotel, on the corner of 10th and H Streets, our home for the next few days. Tuesday, April 1 -- Breakfast at 1:20 and we take our bus to the Mellon Art Gallery to see the many works of art on displag. Then, quickly, to the Washington Monument. Some of us climb all the way to the top. There are only 9 8 steps -- yes sir, we counted all of them. The smart ones take the elevator. Not so tiring is the Pan American Union Building. The usual birds flying about, the plants and ferns from different countries, and the wonderfully executed fountain in the patio combined the beauty of the American Nations. Next on the tour is the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Here we are shown the laboratories and equipment used in catching criminals. The guide shows us the map and layout which were used in trap- ping eight Nazi saboteurs, four of whom landed on the East Coast in June 1942. We are convinced that 'Crime does not pay. Lunch at the hotel, and we are off again, now, Melvin takes us to the Capitol to meet Congress- man Edwin Arthur Hall. He gives us his autograph and we have a group picture taken. After a trip through the Capitol -- impressive because of its size -- we tour through the city and see the Legations and Embassies. Also the home of John L. Lewis. Finally, we go through George- town, Fort Meyer, and the Arlington Cemetery, to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and than back to the Hotel for dinner. In the evening, most of us go to the movies. After the theater, we go to O'Donnells Sea Food for oysters -- more fun. Wednesday, April 2 -- It started raining just after breakfast as we leave for Alexandria and Moimt-Vernon. Most of us get soaked to the skin when we all walked through the grounds of the famous estate. On the way back we stop at Washington National Airport to watch the planes and then to the Lin- coln Memorial. Afterwards, we returned to the hotel and spent the rest of the morning shopping. First thing in the afternoon Melvin drives us to the Naval Academy at Annapolis. We see, a- mong other things the swimming pools and a sample sleeping quarters for midshipmen, the burial place of Iohn Paul Iones, and the Chapel. We miss the usual Wednesday dress parade, not held because of the rain, but we do see most of the Midshipmen marching to class fl-lubba Hubbal. This evening after dinner, some of us go swimming, while the rest watch. Chicago beat Wash- ington in a basketball game. Thursdayi, April 3 -- It s sort of sad to think that we leave today. After breakfast we go in the bus'to the Bureau of Printing and Engraving and watch money being made. Never saw so much money in all of our lives.. The next stop is the Smithsonian Institute and the New Museum where many historical items are preserved. At the White House we are taken through the downstairs rooms and see the room from which President Roosevelt gave his Fireside Chats. President Truman uses this same room when he speaks to the nation on the radio. Finally, we drive back to Baltimore, say farewell to Melvin, and catch the train. After lunch on the train, we arrive in Philadelphia about 2:30. During the stopover, some of us go to see the Liberty Bell ln Independence Hall. At 2:00 a.m. we returned to Deposit, tired and sleepy, aching bones but in cheerful spirits. 19
