THE ELMLEO Our Washington Trip The ideal and hope of our high school career became a reality on May 21, l936, when the class boarded the train bound for Washing- ton. After four years of hard work to provide the necessary funds for this trip, it was with the greatest satisfaction and happiness that we settled back to enjoy this long-hoped-for event. Our first visit upon our arrival in Washington was to the Supreme Court building. A tour to the Congressional Library and the cele- brated Folger Shakespearean Library followed. The activity of the afternoon was our trip to Mount Vernon. Our class had decided to make this trip by boat and were glad of their decision. The impressive beauty of Mount Vernon made that phase of our trip truly memorable. Inspection of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing initiated the series of tours of the second day. Visits to the Washington monu- ment, Pan-American and Red Cross buildings, and the Corcoran Art Gallery preceded our anticipated visit to the White House. After lunch we went to the Old National and New Museum. Everyone en- joyed the sightseeing trip of the day when we gazed wih admiration at the various embassies, and homes of prominent people. The Arlington National Cemetery' the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and the Lincoln Memorial were the most outstanding points of interest to all the Seniors because we realized, as never before, the significance of these memorials. The last and, therefore, the most regretted day arrived, but it was in no way less exciting than the others. We spent the morning seeing as much as possible of the grounds, buildings, and notable features of our own U. S. Naval Academy. It was a regretful but appreciative, happy, and enlightened group that, on the afternoon of May 23, boarded the train for home. Page T1c'e111fy-six
