New York City Trip Twenty tired Seniors and the two advisors arrived in New York City on April eleventh at 6:00 p.m. We were taken by bus to the Taft Hotel where we left our suit cases and went to Longely's Cafeteria for supper. From there we went to Madison Square Garden for Ringling Brothers, Bdrnum and Bailey Circus. Here we saw Emmett Kelly, which was a thrill for most of us. At the end of the performance, there was the Grand Parade. Their theme this year was the months of the year. For each month they had a special float and costumes. It was a beautiful parade, and we all enjoyed it tremen- dously. Tuesday morning after breakfast, we took the sub- way and ferry to the Statue of Liberty. We learned from our guide that this was a gift from France. Many of us climbed the spiral stairs that led to the crown. An elevator was there to carry the ones who didn't wish to climb all the way. 'Jhen we reached the head we looked out Miss Liberty's Crown at New York City. After leaving the Statue of Liberty we visited the Empire State Building, the tallest building in the world. We took elevators to the 102nd floor, and from there we had a picturesque view of N. Y. C. After lunch we went to the Museum of Natural History. This was a large building and a very interesting one. Tuesday night we went to Shubert's theatre for the Broadway Show, Can- Can$ most of the boys enjoyed,it, Wednesday morning we took the bus to the United Nations Buildings, Rockefellow Plaza, and the N. B. C. Studio. Wednesday afternoon was left free. It was raining so no one went to Coney Island or the ball game. Many went with friends to such places as New Jersey and Brooklyn. Wednesday night there was a dance at the Hotel New Yorker, which most of the students attended. Thursday morning we went on a bus tour of the city. We visited St. Patrick's Cathedral. From there we rode through Harlem and Chinatown and then on to the N. B, C, studio to watch the television show Feather Your Nest with Bud Collier. Thursday afternoon we went shopping at Macy's, which is the largest department store in the world. Here we spent most of our money. Thursday night we went to Radio City Music Hall to see the Easter Pageant and the movie, The Glass Slipper. After the Easter Pageant, which was very colorful and impressive, there was a stage performance by the Rockettes, and an enjoyable mock Easter Parade by trained dogs. We left for home at TOs +O Thursday night, and arr- ived in DeKalb at lOsOO a.m ,all tired out, but with many pleasant memories of our trip.
