• • • New York Trip At the early hour of five-forty-five on the morning of March 30, a happy but sleepy group (namely, the seniors) was gathered at the school, anxious to take off for New York. It didn't seem possible that the time had actually arrived for us to leave on our class trip, but it really had! Mr. and Mrs. Francis Visschcr were the chaperones. We arrived at Grand Central Station a little after noon, where we were met by Mr. Van Zilc and his aides. He immediately got us into taxis and we were on our way to the Hotel Taft, where we registered, received keys to our rooms, and were given time to get some- thing to cat. After a very satisfactory lunch (according to the few who ate), we were taken to N.B.G., where we were introduced to television, shown how sounds were produced, and had a look at Don Hallcnbcck. Radio City Music Hall was scheduled for the evening, where we saw the Rockcttcs in a most enjoyable show, along with the movie “Without Love.” Since we had no intentions of sleeping our time away while in New York, we bought some pop corn and nuts (our usual menu) and had a party. The curfew wouldn’t interfere with our good time! Saturday morning, the operator phoned us at 7:15, which seemed like the middle of the night, but not on Seventh Avc. However, we did manage to get breakfast in time to leave on the tour, taking a subway and then the ferry to the Statue of Liberty. A few of us had “dizzy-fcct” when wc completed our long journey at sea (approximately twenty min- utes), but we were thrilled at getting even the slightest idea of how a sailor feels on his first day at sea. Since it was a cloudy day, we couldn’t get a particularly good look at New York’s skyline, but we saw plenty. The ships, going and coming, produced a sensation for most of us. In the afternoon we went to the Empire State Building; cabs and people resembled ants fighting a war on the streets below. On Saturday evening we were free to do whatever we desired. The class split up, some taking in movies and others strolling around. Easter Sunday morning was free, some of us going to church, but others giving up the idea on viewing the waiting lines in front of the churches. The Bronx Zoo was scheduled for the afternoon, which proved to be a very interesting and entertaining tour. Sunday night wc were again “on the loose’’, meaning more shows, etc. On Monday morning we were again telephoned bright and early, giving us plenty of time to prepare for the Grand Tour of Upper and Lower New York City. This included Grant’s Tomb, The Cathedral of St. John the Divine, The Little Church Around the Corner, and Chinatown. After catching subways, buses, and walking for what seemed like miles, we found ourselves back at the Taft, which we were beginning to refer to as home. Monday afternoon and evening was ours for rest, shopping, and shows. Our time was our own on Tuesday. The girls made use of it by shopping at Macy’s, while the boys stayed at the hotel amusing their pet turtle. That night we went to a broadcast, where we saw Paul Baron’s orchestra, Danny O’Niel and Monica Lewis. Wc went to LaGuardia Airport Wednesday morning. It was rather hard, coaxing the girls away from the “wolverine’s paradise”, but we managed to do so in time to take the taxi to Grand Central, where we boarded the Albany train. We were an exhausted but enthusiastic group of droopy eyes as we neared home, but wc had a wonderful trip and a host of memories which wc would never forget. J'RUE! ! ! !
