26 Halfmoon Yearbook, 1942 You) })jyri txrru C- uJl3 . J n the first few days of the Fall semester, a group of enterprising Seniors got together to form a Washington Club. From the outset, the class of '42 knew that chances for the trip were slim. After but slight opposition, the group brought order out of chaos, and formed a club. We knew that at the last minute plans for the trip might have to be cancelled. We were willing to take the chance. Of course, all of this was be- fore the Pearl Harbor episode. After December the seventh, a few murmurs of dissention began to be heard, and.one or two mem- bers dropped out—nothing to be alarmed at. How- ever, our club was still making plans for the trip. The tour conductor wrote and informed us that he had definitely procured rooms in Washington for our group. The situation began to look better. Then, weird and wonderful tales began to creep back from Washington. On good authority we heard that fair city was at a stand-still. The trip be- gan to appear in a different light. Our hotel was miles from the heart of the city, and transporta- tion of any kind was at a premium. And so, it went on and on—no decisive action was taken. We Just let matters drift along. Then Friday, February twentlethl The regular meeting had been called. After a lengthy, and somewhat heat- ed discussion we disbanded, with all ideas of a Wash- ington trip put aside. Twenty-five years ago our parents had to dis- band their Washington Club, because of World War I. So . .history, by a queer turn of fate, repeats it- self. . .Well, a toast to the third generation, and may they have better luck with their trip, than the two immediately preceding generations did.
