WNAXQU-IUIUCISUCDRJ I guess all the Seniors will remember that bright sunny day on April 20, the special day to which we had looked forward all year long. All the seniors were gathered outside of the high school at 6:50 that morning. Was anyone late? Oh - welll People who were going by in cars to work or else where gawked at us in bewilderment.I guess they had never seen us in such finery before There stood the boys dressed in their new suits with red, pink, and yellow neckties Beside them stood the beautiful girls in new dresses, fav topcoats, bedecked with corsapes :ent in cars to Springfield, where we boarded a train for New York When we pot off the train in Grand Central station, we felt lost amid the throngs of people that were milling around We had a feeling that people were staring at us Could it be we d1dn't appear at home in the big city and they took us to be their ncountry cous1ns9' The boys in our group were pawking at the high buildings, as the irls were buzzing with excitement Because we had to wait a short vhile for a bus to New Jersey, we were allored to go outside to get something to eat All the boys, fifteen in number, went in one group Finally we spotted,however as soon as we had entered, a smiling man dressed in a formal black suit sreeted us He led us down glossy stairs Lin single file! through a maze of mirrors, brilliant glass chandeliers and other fancy decorations Finally we were seated in a dimly lighted room vith gleaming white candles on the tables We didn't know just what to do, or what to say All that we wanted was a hamburg, when here we were in a place where one served a full course dinner At last, Johnathan took the situation in hand He asked the waiter if there was any minimum or cover charge The waiter replied that there wasn't, but that anything we ate we would have to pay at least three dollars for This was too much for us and so we promptly stood up and the whole fifteen of us marched back through the underground palace and out the door As the head waiter waved frantically at us, amazed at our sudden departure, his words nWhat's the matter? What's the matter9n were trailing after us as the door closed Then came the train fide to Washingtom, I think the boys will remember the card games we had, especially the boys who lost their britches remember We had to get adgusted to sleeping together and during the process there was a wild time I think Bill Jackson will testify to that Most of our days in Washington were spent tour ing ell ve remember the climb up the Nashinvton Monument, the beautiful scenes at ht Vernon, the visit to Annapolis, and the many hours we had to spend waiting in line to see some of these historic places It seemed as though there were a million other Groups from other schools in Iashington at that time We had some of our nights free after coming back from tourinp,so that we went looking around Jashinvton where we found some very interest ing places I am sure that the boys will never forget nDawwood's P1ace', where they served those 'juicy hamburgsn and milk, O O -, M, A 3 q W9 'ul ' , 0 Jn J O ' - O I ' 4.
