We were at osed to arrive at 12:£5 p. m. but due to a freight 3U?Pn derailed on our track, we were forced to go back trPhiladelphia, Pennsylvania and did not arrive until f°.cX p. m. We were taken to the Commodore Hotel by Pxi and given an hour to change and prepare for dinner hich was serve i in the dining room of our hotel. That vening was left for getting acquainted with downtown Washington. Some of us went to a movie and were amazed to find that one ticket cost $1.50. Others stayed in our hotel room or walked around Washington. Saturday: March 28, 1959 At 6:I(.5 we were aroused by the telephone ringing in our rooms. We got dressed and went down and had our breakfast. At 8:00 we left the hotel for the Washing- ton Monument. We could not wait to go up inside the monument as the wind was bitter cold and there were many classes ahead of us. On our way to the Pan-American Building we received a panoramic view of Washington. We were surprised to see a 914. year old parrot in the Pan- American Building. We than went to the White House but were not lucky enough to see our President. Next we went to the Capitol and enjoyed our guided tour through this famous building. By this time we were ready for our lunch which we received at the S W Cafeteria and were completely satisfied and refreshed for our afternoon tours. That p. m. we went to Mount Vernon in Virginia and toured the home of George Washington, the old and new tombs, the gardens and kitchens. We then left for a tour of Alexandria and saw the Christ Church and the Washington Masonic Memorial. We toured the Arlington National cem- etery and saw the changing of the guard at the tomb of the unknown soldier. On our way back we saw the Iwo Jima Mar- ine Memorial.
