PILLARS CDE TENNESSEE MARBLE After a long train ride punctuated by cries of Freiheit and Peet Bog Soldiers, we arrivedm-most of us whole-in what to civilized New Yorkers looked like a cave, but to Washingtonians served as a railroad station. We were hurried into busses that swept through impressively clean and wide streets. From the windows we got our first glimpse of the nation's capital city. We gaped at buildings, parks, and people who looked important. Given the opportunity to view Congress in session, we stared at faces we had here- tofore seen only in magazine pictures, and important people suddenly ex- isted as themselves instead of as written statements in books and newspapers. We were flattered and pleased that Representative Roosevelt and Sen- ator Lehman found time to speak to us and answer our questions. We were awed by the magnificent Supreme Court building and the realization of the importance of each member of the group that holds the balance of Justice. At the Smithsonian Institute and the Library of Congress, at Lincoln Me- morial, and at Arlington Cemetery, the past became unified, and the history we had learned in books took on new meaning. In our few spare moments we felt adult and adventurous, occasionally to the distress of the teachers, but more often to our benefit and enjoyment. We climbed more stairs than there are in Fieldston and saw more famous people riding in a subway then we ever see in New York. Leaving a practically deserted hotel behind us, we boarded the New York train, enlightened and exhausted. For four hours we slept, read, sang, played cards, and compared souvenirs. The next morning we all rushed for the newspapers to look for familiar names and faces.
