20 THE ECHO NEW YORK TRIP A GROUP of twenty-one girls and two chaperons, Miss Grace McCarthy and Miss Kathryn Megley, left Holbrook for New York on April 19, at 10:00 A.M. The group arrived at seven o’clock that evening at the bus terminal and went directly to the Piccadilly Hotel. After checking in at the hotel, supper was procured at the Automat. Since this was a new experience for most, it was enjoyed immensely. The next place of interest was Radio City Music Hall. An unusually enter- taining evening was enjoyed, and on return to the hotel at 12:30 A.M. the ten senior boys in New York on vacation were there for greetings. From all reports most of the girls didn’t really get to sleep until about 3:30 A.M. The next morning after breakfast was eaten at the Automat, a sightseeing trip of lower New York lasting three hours took the group down Broadway, to Trinity Church, to Wall Street, on a ferry past the Statue of Liberty to Staten Island, through Chinatown, and back to Broadway. The Brass Rail, which seemed to be a very fashionable place, was where the class had dinner, after which the places visited were St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Fifth Avenue, Empire State, Woolworth Building, and Radio City. An upstairs bus ride along Fifth Avenue and Riverside Drive completed the day. After supper and checking out at the hotel, all were bade farewell at the bus station by the senior boys and started on their all night ride home, arriving safely the next morning after a glorious trip. SUMNER HIGH By Elizabeth Card The gum we used to chew. The missies that we threw. The teachers’ scornful eye. How carefree were the days we spent at Sumner High! It’s true, to have some fun We left our work undone. But records cannot lie. We learned a million useful things at Sumner High. We’ve all grown to manhood; No longer we are boys. The world is full of contrasts, Sorrows mixed with joys. And we must leave our shelter amidst war’s awful noise. May God be ever nigh! When carefree days must waver, And studies grow much graver. When a world at war comes by, How peaceful are our memories of Sumner High.
