Kennedy at Arlington National Cemetery. They also visited George Washington's home, Mt. Vernon, the House of Representatives and Senate chambers.

Students Enjoy A Break Students in back of Carter's Grove Plantation rest after the tour. Academy students visited the colonial town of Williamsburg. Williamsburg was the former capital of Virginia that was restored to its original appearance in the eighteenth century. The students enjoyed portraying citizens of Williamsburg pre- senting a petition to the governor. They also learned how candles, tools, and food were prepared in that period. In Wil- liamsburg, students acquired historical knowledge as well as having a good time for three days.
