January, 1932 13 All the greyish slate piles, column banks and breakers, mines, and smoke in the distance brought forth the life and pictures of the hard work it takes to furnish us with heat for our comfort. So, as we saw many grimy-faced and tired miners plod wearily home with lunch boxes under their arms, we w ' ere thankful for all they do for us and glad that we didn’t have to follow their footsteps. And, of course, members of our class who were officers of the battalion en¬ joyed a trip to West Point. This trip was wonderful. Dressed in their uniforms, the members of this trip took the brunt of very amusing stories w hich you may secure by asking one of the boys who were there. The sights and interest¬ ing facts relative to this trip will surely be long remembered by everyone who went on it. There is one trip which conjured our anticipation long before we went upon it—the trip to Washington, the capital of our country. Here the members of our class saw the Capitol, the Lincoln Memorial, the Congressional Library, and a host of other interesting places. It is useless to attempt expressing how much it was enjoyed. However, we hung again pictures of a banner experience in the galleries of our memories. Everyone of the class of January 1931 will cherish the precious memory of Stephen Girard who made it possible for us to have such pleasure and instruction. We also wish to thank Mr. Frey, Dr. Melchior, Dr. Wolf, and Dr. Herrick for their part in this. School life is over, and gone with it are the trips we took, but the memories— thank God for them,—the memories are still with us. And so are good friends. The embers of these friendships shall never grow cold.
