W SHI ET mp On March 12, 1958, at 7:30 A.M. two Rollo buses came bounding down Broad Street and stopped in front of Keyport High School, where fifty-five ex- cited seniors boarded them and were on their way to Washington, D.C. Since we were all very hungry, we ate heartily at Sholl's Cafeteria in Washington, and then made our first stop at the Capitol Building for a guided tour. Later we visited the Supreme Court and the Folger Shakespeare Library. After gathering the stragglers we headed for the Hotel Raleigh. Our tired feet were very thankful' for the rest we had for a brief hour. After a very nice dinner at Old Club Tea House, we stopped at the Washington Airport, the third busiest in the world, then the Lincoln Memorial and the Library of Con- gress. Back at the hotel, the chaperones thought we would go to sleep, we had other thoughts. The next morning, at 6:00 A.M., however, as we heard the

weight lifter RICHARD BAUMAN is trying to draw a crowd. At the exit gate is policewoman CATHY FRANKE trying to guard PATI POLING, who is collecting for the heart fund. Quick, your attention, ladies and gentlemen, to that platform in back of us, something is going to happen! Look at all those balloons and streamers! Here comes the barker now. lt's STACY CARHART and he's announcing TONY SMITH and his Key Five who have just made a world tour and stopped here for this one show. After the Key Five there will be an extra attraction-the Keyport-Arena Fashion Show. They have received permission from the HAROLD O'BRIEN Modeling Agency to have Miss America, CONNIE SCACCO, Miss World, ODETTE HERTLE, and Miss Universe, PHYLLIS CASSIDY, to model fashions of the future! There are BETTY WAYTE and HELEN WALLING, acclaimed in New York City as famous dress stylists. Quite a few servicemen are enjoying the show, especially those Navy men, GEORGE AUSTIN and ANTON BOEHLER. Look over there! The Army men, CHARLES HENDRICKS and JOHN MOORE, finally caught up with them! Over at the administration building in the Publicity Department are those two art directors, JUDY MAINWARING and BONNIE GREATREX, sketching busily while MARLENE BERGER, secretary, is busy typing. On TOMMY BURKE's elevator, we pass by the offices of FRED SCHWARZ, lawyer, MARIE STOKES, interpreter, and government officials, JUDY LEPICK and ALICE METZGER. Stopping at the second floor, we enter the office of JOE KURDYLA, personnel director, who introduces us to some of the employees including flea circus director, JOAN O'DONNELL. Here is ANN RUSIGNUOLA, circus director, dictating letters to PAT COURTNEY, stenographer. In another office are accountant LOR- RAINE ORLANDO, bookkeepers DEANNA EAMELLO and HELEN POST, and receptionists PAULA DUSZIK and MARLENE CHASKOWITZ. Time is growing short now, but we must get a bite to eat before returning to the show. We stop across the street at KAREN GEVAS's restaurant where we find waitress MARGIE D'ATRIO waiting on MAR- LENE HYDE, foreign correspondent, and CAROL SICKLES, playwright, while cashier JUDY ARTELLI looks on. What's this? A school? Yes, it's for the performers' children. The school has a staff of five teachers: LEE CRAWFORD, English, FAITH VARLESE, history, RUSTY MANN, art, BILL HENDERSON, science, and FRANK McHUGH, math. There are two coaches: DAVE ANDERSON of Notre Dame and WALT ZAREMBA, former football star. The principal is JACK KEEFE. Let's not forget the medical staff which includes doctors LARRY DONNELLY and CHRIS GOODHAND, and MARLENE WINTER and FLORENCE RAWLINS, nurses. The circus has everything, even a barbershop run by HENRY CLEMENT and a beauty salon run by DIANE SHEPPELL. Wait! We can't return to the Big Top without visiting the fortune teller's tent. There it is. Looks like Madame CAROLE NORRIS is not here, sign says: OUT TO LUNCH. We can't wait. The show must have begun already. We arrive in time to see the spectators being amused by that clown, DOROTHY HOFF, followed by her pet pig and a trained monkey. Hold tight, ladies and gentlemen! Here come those daring young trapeze artists, LILLIAN EDMONDS, KATHY MANDEVILLE and SAN- FORD HARDY. Before their act is completed out comes PAUL HARTZLER, cowboy star. Now, friends, for our last act we present that magician, GEORGE LOCKWOOD, with his lovely assistant, CONNIE TREW. That was quite an afternoon! At the bus stop ROBERT JONES, tax collector, and sales girl JANET RAUPP are talking about TONY GRANATO, the new owner of the Surprise Store. On the way home we meet JUDY FERM, president of the People's National Bank. With her is BOB KENNEDY, guidance director at Keyport High School. At the corner is Jersey City playboy, MICHAEL JUSTIN, talking with DAVID BENDER, rich plantation owner, and MARIE AHLERS, champion tennis player. Home at last! Now to put some quiet music on the radio . . . Show's over folks, says JUD THORNE, radio broadcaster. Tune in next year, same station!

words rise and shine, we rolled over and said, llUgh!II We groaned at the thought of going to the Washington Monument, however, at the top we de- cided the view was well worth the climb and didn't mind it at all. We then came to what the students, at least, considered the most important stop, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. From there we went to the F.B.l. building, where we learned no criminal can get away. After lunching at Scholl's Cafeteria, we went through the snow to the Smithsonian Institute and then off to the Botanical Gardens. From there we drove to Arlington National Cemetery for the chang- ing of the guards at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier-an impressive ceremony. The last stop was the Jefferson Memorial. After dinner at the hotel we went to the movies. This, of course, was to give our beloved chaperones a well-earned rest. Our last day in Washington was spent visiting Mount Vernon, the home of George Washington. We then heard a speech given by Congressman Auchincloss of New Jersey. After a cafeteria lunch we started for the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland. There we saw the beautiful chapel and the tomb of .lohn Paul Jones. To the chagrin of all the girls, however, we missed the Midshipmen. All too soon we were headed back toward home, but those three glorious days will be forever locked in our memories. To our chaperones, Mrs. Carlson, Miss Reilly, Mr. DeFazio, and Mr. Jones, we should like to extend our sincere thanks for helping us have fun and enjoyment on our Washington trip.
