SENIOR On the afternoon of May 11 the seniors left for the nation ' s Capitol, Washington, D. C. aboard a train from Chicago. They arrived the morning of May 12 and began their sight-seeing tour of this beautiful city. Some of the important points of interest they visited were the White House, Capitol, Smithsonian Institute, and the Mint where they sow money made. It was an opportunity for all to see Congress in action and each student to personally meet his state representative. The most impressive scene was the changing of guards before the tomb of the unknown soldier at Arlington Cemetery. Following this they visited Mount Vernon, the home of George Washington, and took a moonlight cruise on the Potomac River. On the evening of May 13 they boarded the train for home. This trip was planned by Don Boender, Beverly Van Kley, Faye Van Oyen, Jim Molenaor, and Mr. Oppewal, class sponsor. Mr. and Mrs. Oppewal and Mr. and Mrs. Landhuis accompanied the group as chaperones. Page Twenty
