Playing records to make the time go faster on the Washington trip are Georgene Eichelberger and Sherry Repay. During the pilgrim¬ age to the nation’s capitol, students find other preoccupations such as eating, reading, or just talking. Gladly disembarking. Governors and other Hammond high school students fumble for scattered magazines and luggage at the Wash¬ ington station. After a night with little sleep, the travelers welcome a chance to stretch and get some exercise. Students Journey To Nation’s Capitol More than 200 Morton, Hammond High, Clark and Tech students made the annual pilgrimage for juniors and seniors to the nation’s capitol this year. Six days were spent getting acquainted with the city of Washington and nearby colonial towns. Enroute to the capitol, a stop was made at Marion Ohio, where chartered buses took the group, first to the Ohio Wesleyan University Campus in Marion, and then to the Ohio State University campus in Colum¬ bus for a complete tour. At the Washington station students put on their coats, grabbed their luggage, and collected their wits before going to the Raleigh Hotel. After checking into their rooms at the hotel, students were free to do any extra sight-seeing that they wished to include in their itinerary. Chartered buses took the group of tourists to Jamestown, Yorktown, Williamsburg, and Fredericks¬ burg, Virginia, to view historical memorials. They also visited Swannaroe, headquarters of the Univer¬ sity of Science and Philosophy; Stratford, the birth¬ place of Robert E. Lee, general; and Mount Vernon, the home of George Washington, first president. Having tired themselves out with all the walk¬ ing and talking of a picturesque tour, our Hoosiers were happy to start for Indiana and settled down for a quiet trip home. On the train coming home students exchanged experiences they had had on the trip. During this time they were able to recooperate and prepare for their morning classes. Paying respect to one of the nation’s most honored monuments, students stand quietly during the changing of the guard, a very ceremonious procedure, at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. This monument, located in Arlington National Cemetery, is only one of the many historically famous places that the tourists visited while on the a nnual tour to the eastern part of the country.
