fain WASHINGTO The Class of 1958 left for its senior trip to XVashington on Nlarch 25, 1958. The train pulled out of the YVest Trenton station at 6:22 bound for Philadelphia, where We changed trains, minus one of our passengers. Her alarm, so we heard, had failed to awaken her on time. At Philadelphia, we boarded a B. 61 O. train which took us to Baltimore. From Baltimore we took buses to Annapolis to see the Naval Academy. After a tour of the Academy, we wcnt to Carvel Hall where we had our lunch. There we met our missing classmate, and we Cele- brated the birthday of another classmate. XVe still do not know how she man- aged to Hnish that huge dish of strawberry shortcake that was given to her. From Carvel Hall we went on to Fort McHenry. At 5:30 P. NI., we boarded the steamer, the City of Riclmzoml, which was to take us from Baltimore to Norfolk. After dinner on the boat, there was a talent show. Along with this show we also held a fashion show. Hell never forget those uglamorousl' models in those ulovelyw clothes. Some of the girls also learned that Mr. Adams was very talented in the art of jitterbugging.

5 lla. 11 'f Senior Class Trip On the next day, we traveled by bus to the Marine Museum and then on to XVilliamsburg. where we visited the Capitol, the Governors Palace, and other places of interest. Our next stop was Jamestowng from there we returned to the boat. Some of the fellows can verify the fact that the bay was not calm that night. Many parties which were planned for that last night aboard ship, for some reason, were never held. Bright and early Thursday morning we left our ship and traveled by bus to Mount Vernon, the home of George XVashington. After that we stopped at the Kitcheteria of the Hotel Harrington in XVashington. At the FBI building, we witnessed a shooting exhibition and toured the laboratories. On the lawn of the Capitol, we had our class picture taken. After a tour of the Capitol and a ride around XVashington to see the points of interest, we made our last stop at the Union Station in XVashington. There we boarded a train, and at 8:20 P. M., 109 weary travelers climbed down from the coaches at XVL-st Trenton. This was the conclusion ot a wonderful three-day senior class trip.
