Page Twenty-two THE RETROSPECT The Washington Trip EIGHT forty-four that memorable morning-, seventy-seven Seniors left the B. 0. Station at Elizabeth. After a long ride on the train we arrived at the Union Station in Washington. Filing into buses the gang was taken to the well-known (?) Cairo Hotel. After a short rest period we started on a trip up the Potomac River to Mt. Vernon. Before the delightful inspection of Washington’s old homestead, Mt. Vernon, a photographer, at his own risk, took a picture of these 77 said Seniors. After returning to the hotel that evening we had a fine southern meal, after which we went to the Congressional Library. In the Periodical Room we read an account of Roselle Park’s defeat at the hands of Hillside’s crack debaters. Leaving the Library by its massive steps we were momentarily stilled by the l eautiful sight of the Capitol lit up by many spotlights. That night after our return from the Library we had quite a lot of fun raising cain—(ask the boys in rooms 308-10-12). The next morning after breakfast we went on a tour of the city passing many beautiful and historically valuable mansions. Upon crossing over the Francis Scott Key memorial bridge we entered the Arlington Cemetery and viewed the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the Arlington Memorial Amphitheatre. From the cemetery we went to the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument. From there we went to the Zoological Park. By the way, has anylxxly ever seen a Buffalo nickel? Well, we did one better by seeing—Buffalo quarters, also “Buffalo Bill,” Senator Borah on horseback. After lunch we went to the impressive Scottish Rites Temple and, from there, swimming or to the movies. That night we had a dance in the lobby of the hotel. The next morning we visited the Bureau of Printing and Engraving, the White House, Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institute, Pan American Union Building, and the U. S. Capitol. An appetizing meal, a free afternoon, a short bus ride to the station, a long ride home on the train finished the Senior Washington Trip. Yea !! Did we have fun! By the way, did you ever hear the story of the chicken? Oh well, let it lay ! ! Advice to the Class of ’33 Kill all house dicks immediately on your arrival. Don’t see the Washington Monument by foot. Don’t take along a portable victrola. Don’t try dancing on the train. .
