WASHINGTON TRIP On April 18, 1957, at 6:55 p.m., our sixteen happy qeniors and two -advisors boarded the train arriving at Union Station in Washington D. C. at 12:21 p.m. April 19. From there we were transferred to the Commodore Hotel, had our lunch at a near-by cafeteria, and started out on our first tour—to the Capitol of our United States of America—seeing the House and Senate Chambers and the Supreme Court. We then proceeded on to the Library of Congress and then back to our hotel to spend a free even- ing getting acquainted with Washington. Saturday, April 20, we visited the Washington Monu- ment where we reached the top in 70 seconds by elevator and laboriously descended the 998 steps to the bottom. We toured on to the Arlington National Cemetery, visited the Curtis Lee Mansion, passed the Marine Memorial Statue of the Flag raising at Iwo Jima, and watched the impressive changing of the guards at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. In the afternoon we toured to Mount Vernon and were guided through the mansion and beautiful gardens. Saturday even- ing we went to Glen Echo Amusement Park in Maryland. Sunday, April 21, the Frotestants attended the Sunrise Service at Arlington Cemetery and the Catholics attended Mass at the Franciscan Monastery. In the afternoon we toured the Franciscan Monastery and the zoo. In the even- ing we visited the Lincoln Memorial for a night view of the Lincoln Statue, tho Jefferson Memorial and the Wash- ington Airport. Monday, April 22, we went through the Smithsonian Institute, the Archives Building, and the Building of -Engraving and Printing. Immediately after lunch we left on the train for New York. Each of the Seniors was very impressed with our nation's Capitol and the memory of our tours and visits there with our class members will live in our hearts forever.
