WASHINGTON • r Class of 1958 left DeKalb Junction at 7:00 Thursday, A ril 3, 1958. Many of us didn’t get p.M. on 1 because of the excitement. For many of us It -uch sl®fp . train ride. We arrived at Grand Central was our y;0o A.M. Friday. After taking a bus to Station aoo we ate a quick breakfast and boarded a train Pfr «Wngton at 8:30 A.M. u arrived in Washington at 12:20 P.M. A bus took the Commodore Hotel. We ate lunch at a nearby res- US t0 t and then started on tour. Our guide was Ed Curtin t-r- afternoon we went to the Capitol building. We saw fh statues of two of the most outstanding citizens from th6h state. We saw a chandelier in the President's room 8hich was iij. karat gold-plated. Also in the President's •oom were the sculptures of George Washington's cabinet. We visited the House of Representatives and the Senate chambers and saw where our Representatives and Senators sit while Congress is in session. A guide took us all through the Capitol and explained everything. In one room there was a bronze plaque laid in the center of the floor, and when our guide stood on one side of the room and talked her voice reflected up to the ceiling and down to the plaque. We all stood around it, and were amazed when her voice came up from the plaque. The building had to be made very uniquely in order for this to be accomplished. We then visited the Supreme Court building. The out- side is all marble from Vermont. There are many marble pillars on the Inside. A guide explained all the details to us. We also visited the Federal Bureau of Investigation, ur guide, who will someday be a G-man, explained how many riminals have been caught. We saw every kind of gun there blo H f a s? saw crime laboratory where they test hou°-hho? human or animal. Our guide explained 0U„ rnHH d°ue. We saw pictures of the ten top criminals dal 4tro!ft°u u? to range and we watched a Spe- in this building n tarSet Everyone was interested tour at R-'on m°-TninS we arose at 6:1+5. We started on Monument t+- • we visited the Washington walked down 555 feet tal1 with 898 steps. Many of us if you hurried11 ounc that it took about fifteen minutes We then went to the Pan American building. The patio was filled with' tropical trees and birds. We saw a banana tree, coffee trees, and many others. We also saw a Macaw which was 92 years old. There were four marble columns,in this building which were worth $10,000 each, and a $ 5 000 chandelier. Twenty-one republics belong to the Pan Amer- ican Union. Simon Bolivar is the father of this organiza- tion. We visited the White House. The walls are covered with brocade. We saw the Blue Room, the Green Room and the Red Room. The floors are covered with thick carpets, and there are beautiful chandeliers all through the building. We saw paintings of all the Presidents. John Adams was the first President to live in the White House. There are 132 rooms, and it cost approximately five million seven hundred dollars. Saturday afternoon Ed Curtin drove us over the Memo- rial Highway to Mount Vernon. We walked through the old mansion and saw things as they were when Washington lived there. We also saw the tombs of Martha and George Washing- ton. Mount Vernon is owned and maintained by the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association of the Union, founded in 1853 for the preservation of the home and tomb of Washington. We toured Alexandria, Virginia, and saw the Washington Masonic Memorial which was dedicated by the Masons to George Washington. We then visited the Custis-Lee Mansion in Virginia, which was owned by Robert E. Lee before the Civil War. Everything is the same as it was when the Lee's lived there. Our guide then took us to the Arlington National Cemetery, where we watched the changing of the guards in front of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. We stopped at the Iwo Jima Marine Memorial. This is the largest sculpture ever cast in bronze. It shows the raising of our flag in World War II. Saturday night some of us went to the Glen Echo Amusement Park, and some went on the Wilson Line Cruise on the Potomac River. Many of us enjoyed the ride on the roller coaster and also the rock and roll dance at the amusement park. Sunday morning we didn't go to the Sunrise Services at the Arlington Cemetery because it was postponed on account of rain. Some of us went to local churches and others stayed at the Hotel and rested. Sunday afternoon we visited the Franciscan Monastery, we saw the beautiful statue of St. Francis. We W Iked through the gardens at the monastery and also saw catacombs. The rest of the afternoon we spent in the 7o We saw every kind of animal imaginable there. Of course, we didn’t have time to see everything. Sunday night we went to the Jefferson Memorial, where we saw a large statue of Thomas Jefferson We then went to the Lincoln Memorial, where we 3aw a bfeautiful statue of Abraham Lincoln. We also went to the National Airport, where a plane takes off approximately every three minutes. Monday morning we left the Hotel about 8:00 A.M. for the Bureau of Printing and Engraving. We saw stacks of money three feet high. We watched them print the money, check it, count It, and mark the money that had flaws. We also saw a ten thousand dollar bill. We then went to the Smithsonian Institution where we saw the gowns of all the Presidents wives, the Wright Brothers’ plane The Kitty Hawk , Charles Lindbergh’s plane The Spirit of St. Louis and many other interesting things. We left Washington at 2:00 P.M. Monday, April 7, and arrived at New York City at S'-kS P.M. CLASS OFFICERS Fred Hitchman----------- President Gerald Rose---------Vice-President Gerry Merithew------------Secretary Dawn Newvine--------------Treasurer CLASS MOTO We have crossed the bay; the ocean lies ahead CLASS COLORS Royal Blue and Silver CLASS FLOWER Yellow Roses CLASS HISTORY When we started our climb in high school in 195 ij. we had I4.i1. members in our class. Gerald Rose was elected President; Eugene Coller as Vice-President; Jane Baker as Secretary; and Janet Halladay as Treasurer. Class advisor was Mr. Healy. We had very few activities during the year. In our Sophomore year of 1955j we had 31 members. Carol Stevenson was President; Dave Doiron was Vice- President; Janet Halladay was Treasurer; and Bethany Petrie was Secretary. When Janet left to go to Gouverneur, Pat Stafford was elected Treasurer. Our class advisor was Mr. Chase. Student Council members were Joyce Hall and Eugene Coller. Jane Baker left us and attended school in Hammond that year. Our next big step was in 1956 when we became Juniors. We had 214. members with three new members: William Scott, Janet Phair, and Jane Baker. In September we elected class officers. They were: Gerald Rose, President; Fred Hitchman, Vice-President; Geraldine Merithew, Secretary; and Joyce Hall, Treasurer. Mrs. Kentfield and Mrs. Bigelow were our advisors. Our Student Council representatives were David Doiron and Dawn Newvine. My classmates and I were very proud to be wearing our class rings. We all had a wonderful time at the Junior Prom in June. When exams were over we started looking forward to the coming year when we would be seniors and go on the senior trip. We finally reached the top of the ladder, for we are now seniors. We all know that we had to work hard. During the year Carol Stevenson, Watson Weatherup, Juanita Reed, and Bethany Petrie left us. We then had 23 members in the class. In September we elected officers: Fred Hitchman, was elected President; Gerald Rose, Vice-Pres- ident; Geraldine Merithew as Secretary; and Dawn Newvine as Treasurer. Our advisor was Mr. Cline. Our Student Council members were Joyce Hall and Eugene Coller. Eleanor Bishop is President of the Student Council. On April 3 we left on our Senior Trip. We all enjoyed ourselves very much. We are all very proud that James Parks won a state scholarship and also received a letter from Governor Harriman congratulating him. James Parks is valedictorian with an average of 9i|.83 and Barbara Hayes is salutatorian with an average of 93.66. These are the highest averages since the school has been centralized. David Doiron was editor of the yearbook, the Demon, and he did a very fine job. William Reed was editor of the school newspaper. We wish to thank everyone who has helped In the last four years to make our senior trip possible. NEW YORK The Senior Class of 1958 left Washington for New York,. Hav April 7, 1958 at 2:00 P.M. We finally boarded the in for our four hour ride to New York. Arriving at the rtel president at 6:00 P.M., we were assigned our rooms. fr° Fot settled and then went to Romeo's for dinner. The evening was open for movies and a tour of Broadway. The next morning we started our tour of New York City. The first visit was to the United Nations which displayed the flags of many countries in front of the building. The U N. is made up of the Assembly Building, the Conference Building, and the Secretariat Building. Seven ornamental doors, a gift from Canada, lead into the lobby of the Assem- bly Building. As we entered the lobby, to the right of us was a large gold ball hung on a chain. This ball swung with the movement of the earth. It was swinging slightly while we were there. In the Conference Building there were three chambers; the Economic and Social Council Chamber, the Trusteeship Council Chamber, and the Security Council Chamber. These rooms were designed by different countries. Many gifts, such as murals, curtains, and clocks, were given to these rooms from other countries. The North and South Ends of the Secretariat building are solid gray Vermont marble. The circular pool and fountain in front of this building is a gift from the children of the U. S. and its territories. We then left the U.N. and walked most of the way to the Empire State Building. At the Empire State we waited in line for the elevators which took us to the 86th floor. On the elevator we chewed gum like mad so our ears wouldn't pop. We didn’t go to the 102nd floor because we didn't have time. The view from the 86th floor was thrilling. There were telescopes which you could look through. This building offers a visibility of 80 miles in diameter on a clear day. At 1:15 we left the hotel for Battery Park. We took a ferry across New York harbor to the Statue of Liberty. At the Statue of Liberty we rode the elevator which took us up through the base of the Statue. Then we began climbing stairs. These stairs spiraled around a post and were steep and narrow. It was quite a climb and we were all tired when we reached the bottom. We then went back to the hotel to have dinner. At 6:30 we left for Radio City Music Hall. Here we I saw the Rockettes, a stage show, an Easter Pageant, and a movie, Merry Andrew starring Danny Kaye. The orchestra, after it had clayed, went right down into the floor. On the stage there was a revolving circle on which part of the stage show took place. That night some of the boys went to see the 6l4.,000 Dollar Question with tickets that had been given to them. The next morning at 8: 5 we left the hotel on a tour of upper and lower Manhattan, from Grant’s Tomb to the Battery. We stopped at the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine. This is the second largest church in the world. Our guide told us that there was no debt on the building. As we entered it there was a Rose window which had a life- size figure of Christ in it. We left here and then walked through Chinatown which was very eerie. We then returned to the hotel. After dinner, the afternoon was left to ourselves. Some of us went shopping, or saw a movie, or just went walking on Broadway. That night taxis took us to Grand Central. We boarded the train and at 10:00 P.M, we left the city of New York with many happy memories. Thursday at 8:30 A.M. we arrived in DeKalb Junction, a tired but happy group. CLASS PROPHECY In 1968 on my way up the Washington Monument, I met „ ail, short man coming down. As I took a good look, I a s'rn t was James Parks who is now a guide in the monument sav? rting people up and down the 898 steps. As a result esc °le(7S°a1re worn off up to the knees, his 0 mov e fin s I noticed Nettie Durham still looking for a cheap theater on the streets of Washington. I hope she one soon as the soles on her shoes are getting thin. While visiting the airport in Washington, I saw Jan Baker now a stewardess on the Pan American Airlines. Bill Reed is now a lifeguard at the Hotel Ambassador t'Tashington and in his spare time plays the tuba for Guy Lombardo. I noticed Elizabeth Keyes in the White House working as guard to keep people from touching the Trails . Elizabeth’s blisters are still healing. Barbara Hayes and Eugene Coller are now owners of the Hotel Commodore and are very successful in their busines Joan Woodrow is now a guide in the Capitol Building and 1 hear that she is a very good friend of the President. When I got off the train in New York City, I noticed that? Vivian Aldous is now working as a cook in the diner at GS-rrand Central Station. Dawn Newvine is driving a sight-seeing bus from New York: City to Patterson, New Jersey. As I was riding along, I noticed that she is just as wild a driver as ever. I went on a tour of Chinatown and found that Ann Puller is now running a very profitable chicken market. She treats the chickens much better than the other markets in Chinatown. I met Joyce Hall on Broadway one night and she told me that she was working as a guide in the United Nations Buil ding. As I passed Romeo's Restaurant in New York City, I saw Sylvia Bush cooking spaghetti. The Italian food she consumed on the trip must have appealed to her. She is still limping from her ten-year old blisters. As I approached the elevator in the Hotel President, I noticed Dave Doiron sitting in the corner of the elevator. He seemed to have given up trying to get out of the infernal machine. As I 1'ialked into the lobby of the Hotel President in New York City, I saw Fred Hitchman at the souvenior stand still arguing with Irene because she wouldn't change his dollar bill. I went to the Sixty-four Thousand Dollar Television show and sitting in the front row was none other than Ernest Walrath. He is still drooling over Barbara Britton and beside him sat Gerald Rose drooling over the $61|,000, Bill Carpenter is still at Radio City Music Hall watching the Rockettes and slowly making his way down to the front seat. As I got aboard the Staten Island ferry, I noticed that Bill Baker was now the captain. Down on Fifth Avenue I saw a new house. I guess Dick Fletcher and Gerry Merithew liked New York better than I thought they did. As I came out of the elevator In the President Hotel, I saw Miss Wake standing outside her door. I guess she must have locked herself out again. Mr. Cline Is now head, -waiter in Jack Dempsey's exclusive restaurant. He is realTy working his way up. In his spare time, he exercises the horses for a riding academy in Central Park. It Is now 1968 and I, Mrs. Eleanor Bishop Brotherton, have taken my husband and four children on a tour of Washington and New York. I did not go with my class members because I was too busy making my wedding dress. When we get back in DeKalb, my private maid, Shirley Woodrow, will take care of the children. Fra.nkly, they are driving me daffy.
