THE SUNBEAM Dear'Diary-- April 6, l9h6 ' ' ' Eight of us seniors, one junior, Miss Proctor, and two out- siders arrived at the station in Biddeford around 9:l5 to- night. We left there at 9:30 for New York. All of us rode in the coach, excepting four who wished a good night's sleep.' We were fortunate in getting seats quite close to- gether. Besides the noise of the train to keep us awake we had two mice which ran up and down the aisle. Carolyn Usher had toeless shoes on, so we all told her that the mice would bite her toe. When she was almost asleep Harvey Smith tickled her toe and she screamed so hard I think she woke the whole coach. By the looks, I don't think there will be much sleeping tonight. April 7, l9h6 , We arrived at Grand Central Station at eight o'clock this morning. We were about half an hour late. We find those who rode in the pullman didn't get so very much sleep after all.: Mr. Green, the man who sponsored this tour had taxis waiting here at the station. We jumped into the cabs bag and baggage and shortly arrived at the Taft Hotel to check our baggage until our rooms were ready. Here we met our accompanying high school, Warrenburg. We went to the auto- mat-to eat breakfast---a place where you put a nickel or dime in a slot and out comes your food. After breakfast we rode on the subways to Riverside Church. Most of our heads nodded slightly during the sermon. 'After church we had dinner and then went back to the hotel. As soon as our sditcases were unpacked we went to the zoo. Here we saw many interesting animals. We enjoyed the baboon's foolish- ness as much as anything. We rested at the hotel for a while and then enjoyed a thrilling elevator ride to the top of the R. C. A. Building. The elevator man informed us we were going two'flights a second, so you see, we weren't standingi still. At the top we could look down upon the whole city. We went to eat and then met Mr. Green to-go to the television tour. This was very interesting. We saw how they make different sound effects and everything about television and radic. After this tour, we went to the Ice Show at Center Theatre. The ones that managed to keep theireyes open enjoyed it. We got out of there just in time to see the Crime Doctor broadcast. Some of the boys went to Billy Rose's Diamond Horseshoe instead of this broadcast. 'Lmst of us get back to the hotel around l2:CO ready for a good night's sleep. April 8, l9L6 V Got up in time to have breakfast and be on the bus at 8:00 to leave for Washington. Warrenburg High School was in 12

THE SUNBEAM , the same bus with us. We had a very enjoyable ride to Washington. Visited the Franciscan Monastery before going to Ebbitt Hotel. The evening was free so most of us went to a movie. NSaratoga Springsn, I believe it was. April 9, l9h6- Tuesday . We went to Arlington National Cemetery and to the tomb of the Unknown Soldier the first thing this morning. fThat is after breakfast! D Our trip to Mt. Vernon was tops for the day. We also visited Lincoln Memorial, Jefferson Memorial and Washington Memorial before dinner. After dinner we went to Ford Theatre, a little trip thought up by our- selves, and the Smithsonian Institute. Soon as supper was over, the bus took us to the Library of Congress. Some of our group stayed at the Library with Miss Proctor longer than others. The rest went back to the hotel and then went sightseeing around the town. We thought Miss Proctor and the folks with her would never return to the hotel to- night. We understand they had a little difficulty with north-west and southweast directions in finding their way back to Tenth Street, N.W., the location of our hotel. April lO, l9h6--Wednesday' We toured the F.E.I. Building this morning. We all thought we had better lead a good life after seeing this building and the ways the tF.E.I. have of tracking down federal of- fenders. Next, we went to the Bureau of Printing and En- ed we had been able to bring back a saw as souvenir of the trip. We al today, but, of course, didn't see dinner, some of us went back to the to stay until supper time. Nothing graving where we wish little of the money we so went to the Capitol the President. After Smithsonian Institute was planned for the evening so we did as we wished once more. April ll, l9n6--Thursday . In the morning we went shopping for souvenirs. We had our dinner and then started on our Skyline Drive to the Shen- andoah Caverns. Had e very delicious Southern-fried chick en dinner at the Shenandoah Caverns Inn. After our sup - per we went sixty feet underground in an elevator to see the wonderful caverns with their beautifully lighted sta- lagmites and stalactytes. There wesn't much to do after our ascent from the caverns. We were sort of out in the country, as you might say. We played games and then went to bed. I might add that the beds were very cold---they hadn't been slept in since before the warl World War II D1 And then too we are now used to nothing but steam-heated rooms. Haven't we been big city Whotelitesn now for about four nights? 15 3
