Capitol Hit By Eastside's Juniors Seniors The excitement built as spring break neared. While some were go- ing to Florida or staying home, a group of 37 juniors and seniors and their chaperones visited our na- tion's capital. On March 22 they set off in a Greyhound bus; it's desti- nation: Washington D.C. The trip was fairly rough and uncomfortable, and the need to change buses at 3:00 in the morn- ing didn't help any. But, the weary group coasted into D.C. twelve hours later at 8:30 a.m. After find- ing the hotel and freshening up, these Eastsiders tasted their first morsels of food, after which they were on their way to see the big city. The first full day of break con- sisted of a fairly easy day of sight- seeing; we were transported by metro bus driven by Big Mac . We, his little Quarterpounders , visited the Bureau of Engraving and Printing and then we made our way to Capitol Hill. There we shook hands with Senator Richard Lugar and saw Senator Ted Kenne- dy descend the Senate steps. From there we took an inside look at the Library of Congress. The day closed with visits to Ford's Theatre, the Petersen House, the F.B.I., the National Archives, and shopping in the Old Post Of- fice Mall. Day two the group visited the Washington Monument, and due to a two-hour wait, the tour in the White House was bypassed. How- ever, equally interesting were the Vietnam Memorial and the Smith- sonian Complex. There we visited the National Art Gallery, the Air and Space Museum; the Natural History Museum, and the Ameri- can History Museum. There was also a night tour. We saw the Lincoln Memorial, the Jef- ferson Memorial, Iwojima Marine Memorial, and the beautiful Ken- nedy Center. Day three we visited Arlington Cemetery, Mount Vernon, George- town, the National Zoo, Embassy Row and the breath-taking Nation- al Cathedral. All this! Needless to say, there were some droopy eyelids and yawning mouths. And the long trip home didn't help — 12 hours again on a Greyhound bus headed west with 37 weary tourists plus one lead-footed driver. We did return home safely, however, and the ex- citing weekend of amazing sights ended Monday, March 24, at 6:00 a.m. by Monica Miller The Washington Monument — standing strong Angie Staley, Lisa Shafer, Rob Zerkle and Missy Schiffli take a breather while waiting and proud. on the rest of the group after lunch. 26
