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 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.

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
