THE LAWRENCIAN 31 Washington Hi-Iights From a Senior’s Diary Friday, March 31 Left Falmouth this morning at 11:00 and sailed from Boston on steamer St. John at 5:00. Got to the Canal after what seemed hours and were greeted by large delegations of Cape parents and friends wishing us Boa Voyage”. About 11:00 the boat started to roll and most of us went on deck. It is now long after 2:00 and it looks as though no one will sleep tonight. Saturday , April 1 Got my first glimpse of New York skyline this morning. Thrilled! Directly after dock- ing we joined Warrensburgh, New York, High School in a brand new $14,000 bus. After going through the Holland Tunnel and viewing the Newark Airport and Shanty-town, we settled down for a good rest. Arrived in Philadelphia at noon and saw the Betsy Ross house and Independence Hall. Lunch! Trip from lunch to Washington was uneventful. Arrived Wash- ington about 5:30, unpacked, ate dinner, and then went to see Kay Kayser where Hope Cotter and Ginnie Hall participated in his class of musical knowledge. Ginnie won a five dollar bill! Sunday, April 2 Got up early and went to church. Went to Mount Vernon this morning. On the way we passed cherry blossoms and were disappointed because they were white. We toured Arlington Cemetery and tried out the President ' s chair in the outside memorial auditorium. Went to the impressive Lincoln Memorial next. Spent the afternoon in the Natural History Museum and the Smithsonian Institute. In the museum there were a whale from Provincetown and a fish from Woods Hole. Went swimming be- fore supper to cool me and my feet. Went to Library of Congress, saw the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. Monday, April 3 Visited Franciscan Monastery this morning. Went to Bureau of Printing and Engraving. Had our pictures taken in front of Capitol. Saw the House and Senate in session. Looked and listened- at the Whispering Gallery”, the strangest thing I have ever seen. At the White House we saw the usual room; allowed visit- ors. Went to the Washington Monument and climbed up — and down the steps. This after- noon we went to the Naval Academy. It was Phyllis Studley’s 17th birthday today, so we had a cake to celebrate. Tuesday. April 4 Am I glad I went to bed early last night! Quite a few kids had occasion to remember that ' those who sleep, never weep . Enjoyed tour of Federal Bureau of Investigation. Spent rest of morning in zoo — second largest in world. Left after lunch for Luray. Drove along the Sky-line Drive. Southern fried chicken for dinner. And was it good! Found the caverns tonight where we learned the difference be- tween stalagmites and stalactites. Came back to hotel and bed. My poor feet — I wonder if they ' ll ever come back to normal! Wednesday, April 5 Traveled from Luray to York, Pa., today Somewhere in the wilds of Virginia, we came to a bridge whose capacity was five tons, so the busses had to empty and we walked over ahead of them. We stopped in Charles- town, West Virginia, and while we were in a drug store a woman came up and asked us where we all were from. We told her Fal- mouth, Cape Cod, and it turned out that she summers here on Shore Street. We visited Gettysburg and not only saw where Lincoln delivered his famous address, but drank sodas underneath the second floor room where he wrote it. Thursday, April 6 We left York early this morning and visit- ed Valley Forge in the pouring rain. After arriving in New York, we went to the Roxy Theatre and then we toured Radio City. Mr. Marshall walked down to Times-Square with a few of us where we bought a Cape Cod Standard-Times. Friday, April 7 Most of us got up early this morning and did” the shops. After lunch went on a tour of New York City. Saw everything from Riverside Drive to Chinatown. Saw the Bowery, and Market Street, and the Ghetto. We sailed at 5: .30 and watched the receding skyline until six; then went below for supper. Danced a while, and then to bed. Saturday, April 8 Home again! Arrived in Boston twenty minutes late, time enough to miss the Cape train. Had a grand time wasting away five hours until the next train, with twenty-nine cents in my pocket. Arrived at last in Fal- mouth. No sky-line to thrill, but how welcome a sight were the familiar buildings and faces!
