Senior Trip On May ninth, 1950 the Seniors accompanied by Mr. Haviza and Mrs. Johnson, left for their trip. Leaving from Richmond we traveled all day. That evening we reached Pittsburgh, and spent the night at Fort Pitt Hotel. Our second day was spent seeing interesting places, such as the Gettysburg Battlefield, the Eternal Light Peace Monument and the Presbyterian Church that Lee attended, the magnificent Washington Cathedral, and continued with a drive down Massachusetts Avenue. That night was spent in the Annapolis Hotel. The third day was spent sight seeing. Among the sights were the Washington Monument, Capitol Building, Supreme Court Building, Congressional Library, Airport, Mt. Vernon, Christ's Church, Smithsonian Institution, Lee's Home, Arlington National Cemetery, Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the Lincoln Memorial. After this the class retired to the hotel tired and hot. That evening was spent in Washington. The fourth day we left Washington, and drove to Baltimgre and onto Philadelphia where we visited Independence Hall. We then crossed the Delaware River and passed through the Lincoln Tunnel into New York City. That evening was spent at the Shelton Hotel. The fifth day we toured upper and lower New York, took a three hour boat trip around Manhatten Island. Buses met the boat and took us to lower New York to see the Bowery, Chinatown and the fabulous Wall Street. The tour ended at the Empire State Building. We spent that evening and the next day, free for plans with our Sponsors. The seventh day we saw sights in upper New York, Central Park, Harlem, Columbia University, Riverside Tomb, and Grant's Tomb. We then left New York and journeyed on to West Point. We reached Auroura that evening and stayed overnight at the famous Mark Twain Hotel. On the eighth day we drove to Niagara Falls. We saw the falls from both the American and Canadian sides. We then crossed the Rainbow Bridge into Canada. The night was spent in the London Hotel in London, Ontario. On the ninth day we started home after a long and tiring journey we reached Losantville, thus completing our long worked for and dreamed of trip, and ending our days together.
