The Seniors Enjoy Their Trip to Washington On the morning of April 24th, we, the seniors, took leave of Hatfield High School for Washington. At Colmar, while waiting for the train, a fashion parade was witnessed by the spectators who came to see us off. The outstanding color of the young ladies' apparel was brown. The young men were outstanding in their brand new suits trying to look their best. At 7.12 A.lNI. we boarded the train and were on our way for a hectic time, including the acquaintance of the Doylestown crowd, who was accompanying us. Upon our arrival in Washington, D. C., at 10.50, we took a sight-seeing trip through the city. After this we went to the Franciscan Monastery which has beautiful gardens with a variety of flowers and shrubbery. The atmosphere was delightful. Next we visited the Washington Cathedral, and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. After this we went through Arlington Cemetery, and also through the home of General Robert E. Lee. Then we visited the Lincoln Memorial where we found the statue of Lincoln. We were told that Lincoln's nose was 8 long, his forefinger was 12 long, and the distance from his knee to his boot strap was 8'. The ceiling is SO' from the floor and everything harmonizes so closely one does not realize the immensity of the building. Then we returned to the hotel, New Colonial, where our rooms were assigned. In the evening we paid a visit to the Congressional Library which had many things of interest. The next day we went to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing where we saw how the U. S. paper dollars were made. Many of us yearned to have a few of them. Then we saw the Washington Monument which was ascended and descended by all good upedesf' Others preferred the elevator. Next we visited the Pan-American Building, the Corcoran Art Gallery, and the White House, where we had a special permit which allowed us to see the main floor, including the President's private dining room. However, much to our disappointment, we did not see the President. In the afternoon we went to the U. S. Capitol where we were fortunate to see a session of Congress. We also saw Senator Huey P. Long, the much talked about personage and one whom we had looked forward to seeing. Since nothing was scheduled for the evening, many of us gratefully indulged in a little relaxation. On Friday the Old and New National Museum had a curious effect on all of us. The drowsiness of spirit must have been caused by the atmosphere of antiquity, or, was it the results of the night before? We then stopped at the Aircraft Building, which interested everyone, and later we visited the Freer Art Gallery which houses Whistler's collections. After this we returned to the hotel for luncheon. In the afternoon we visited the Folger Shakespearian Library, where we saw the exact reproduction of the Shakespearian Theatre. Later we lost ourselves in musing over the modes of living in Washingtonis day, at Mount Vernon. His home showed to us, more clearly than otherwise could have been seen, how well he conducted every- thing. The blossoms were in full bloom and the foliage in the woods was fully developed. The sprinkling of dogwood and wild peach blossoms added to the arrangement of natural colors. We also enjoyed Martha Washington's private garden with its boxwood hedges and the many flowers in bloom. On the last day we journeyed to the Annapolis Naval Academy where we viewed the heroes of the gridiron and the navy. We were interested in their boat maneuvers, and also were delighted with their white puttees. In the afternoon, much to our sorrow ffor the time had passed so quicklyl, we packed our luggage for the journey home. We had enjoyed our trip enormously even though we were tired out and most of us were penniless. LIIARGARET CAPOVANI.
