SENIOR CLASS ACTIVITIES Pity the poor Letchworth Central School District! The new school had begun and the Senior Class of 1958 reigned supreme. At least that's what the Seniors thoughtl However the powers that be had different ideas. Anyway the more adventurous spirits were dampened ibut not quenched, for they seemed to burst forth about April 4th.I Even before we had time to organize any kind of resistance, we were hauled down to the cafeteria and were given magazine sales slips. The goal was S4000 and at first we didn't quite make it due to the fact that several of the best sellers were not in- cluded in the list. QThe company probably anticipated our sales tactics and purposely left these magazines off the list, lest we make them worst sellers. l Howeverwe made under-the-table negotiations with a neighboring school and sales slips for these popular magazines soon were available to the Seniors. With little effort on the parts of most involved, the total was boosted over the goal. - The Senior play was one of our first activities. After six weeks of hard, concentrated rehearsal, 'Mister Co-Ed was pre- sented October 25 and 26. With such an excellent cast and director, it couldn'thelp hutbe a smash hit. Fortunately it was a box office success also. During the basketball season we had four dances after home games. Since the youth from this area are such fervent hoofers, we made a mint 153253. Scattered throughout the winter and spring were three fish fries which brought S700 to our greedy little bank balance. Much to our sadness, we discovered that those fierce girls in red and white jackets had taken our candy machines away from us, sowe lost that source of revenue. However we were so successful in all our other activities that we made up for this deficit. Finally, Good Friday, April 4, came in all its glory and Arcade Station was invaded by 62 Seniors and 4 chaperones in all their glory. The train was to leave at 7:10 a. m, but it was slightly late. However the engineer broke the speed laws all the way, and we arrived in Washington, D. C. on schedule at 5:20 p. m. We went by crowded busses to the Hotel Annapolis where we received our room numbers. To the girls' great joy the hotel had nearly as many Midshipmen, Sailors and Marines as did its namesake, the Naval Academy. That evening was open: so some of us under supervision of chaperones went to SOUTH PACIFIC, some went to Cinerama and the rest descended upon the poor city itself. The next day, we rose early fwe thoughtj but many miscalculated the time it took to get breakfast, so they went without. ln the mornlngwe visited the Washington Monument, the Pan American Building with its lovely Spanish patio, and the White House. KHowever the guards refused our request for a private interview with Ike and Mamie.I After lunch we went to Mount Vemon, where we completely covered the grounds and house. Returning we toured Alexandria, stopping at Christ Church with its unusual wine glass pulpit, and the Washington Masonic Memorial. Continuing on, we stopped briefly at the Iwo Jima Marine Memorial. Skipping the Curtis-Lee Mansion, we hurried to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier so we would be in a good position to see the changing of the guard. It was a glimpressive sight. I'm sure future Seniors will be just as awed by this ceremony as we were. Again the evening was open. Some of the Seniors went up the river on a guided cruise, of course. Next morning, Easter Sunday, some of the more hardy students rose to greet the sun. However the sun skipped out on the appointment and sent the rain in its place. Nevertheless, most of this sleepy group continued on into the rain to attend a lovely Sunrise Service in the amphitheater at Arlington Cemetery. Others attended church in the city. In the afternoon we went to the beautiful Franciscan Monastery, the equally beautiful Washington Cathedral, and the not-so- beautiful Zoo. We were especially lucky, for we arrived just in time to have the doors closed in our faces and to be told that it was feeding time.Returning to the buses, we discovered a startling fact--our chaperons were human. Being very eager to impress this fact upon us, they agreed to smoke a peace pipe. All, I repeat, all of them did this, By the way, our chaperons were Miss Dash, Miss Saunders, Mr. Vogel, and Mr. Pearce. That eveningwe visited the jefferson Memorial Qbeautiful by nightl and the Washington Airport. All went well until one chap- eronwas discovered miss ing. After waiting several minutes, we were forced to make one last desperate attempt to find him. To do this, we drove slowly through the parking lot, leaned out the window, and shouted his name and description. Fast thinking Seniors in the other buses pointed the way and we soon had him back safely in our bus. Returning to the city we stopped for a most impressive visit to the dimly lit statue of Lincoln inthe Lincoln Memorial. Also, from the same place, we saw a full length reflection of the Washington Memorial in the reflection pool. In the moming at 6:45 a. m. , we were aroused from a deep sleep into which we had just fallen at 5:00 a. m.Our first stop was the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. We were told that samples were given out every February 30, but since it wasn't Feb- ruary we didn't get any. Next came the Smithsonian Institute. It is really a very interesting place. We tried to make a contribution to the old ox bones department but they made us take the chaperons with us. Aftera short stop at the Archives Building, we went to the National Art Gallery. A surprising number of Seniors turned out to be cultural and several came away carrying costly QS .251 reproductions. After lunch we kept an early appointment at the F. B. I. A seemingly short hour was spent touring the labs. We went in 66 strong and left 63 strong. It seems that these three people looked and acted so much like criminals that they were detained. From there we went to the Capitol where we had a class picture and a guided tour. Also we saw the Supreme Court and Library of Congress. However everyone 's feet hurt so that no one saw the inside of these buildings. Arriving early at the hotel, we managed to hobble around to get things toeat on the train home. However much of the food didn't get eaten for many of us were asleep before the train left the Union Station at 7:45 p. m. After a long bumpy night, we arrived in Arcade. I don't remember whether or not we were on schedule for everything gets hazy about there. In the future, we Seniors look forward to the Junior-Senior Banquet Qthat's because its freej and, of course, Graduation. When the Seniors finally realize that these are the last few weeks in our reign as supreme dictators of our 'good old Alma Mater, I'm sure tears wil! be in the hearts of more than a few, As a representative of the Senior Class of 1958, Iwould like to sincerely thank all those who have supported us in any way. We can never express in words exactly what this Washington trip has personally meant to each one of us. Again, 'thank you. 20 Mary Shennan
