..g,.-..-- Washington Trip Reviewed By Betty Eisenbiegler After many weeks of anticipation, our big day had arrived. We seniors of the class of '54 picked up our suitcases and boarded the train at Plainfield at 9:59 a.m. on May 21 for our trip to Washington, D. C. We arrived at the Mount Royal Station in Baltimore about 12:40 p.m. at which time we immediately boarded our sightseeing buses to go directly to Mount Vernon. During our bus ride to George Washington's home at Mount Vernon, points of? - interest along the way were point- ed out by our bus driver and guide. On our arrival at Mount Vernon we visited Washington's home, his tomb, and the extensive well kept grounds, Many seniors reverently stopped to note the room in which our country's great father spent his last hours. Our Washington tour then took us to Arlington National Cemetery Memorial Amphitheater and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier where we stood with awe to see the changing of the guard and the honors given to our war dead. The tour continued on the buses through Georgetown and the city of Washington, at which time we passed through the National Zoo- logical Park. En route public buildings and embassies were pointed out. The afternoon tour ended at the Ebbitt Hotel in Washing-ton where rooms were assigned to the mem- bers of our trip..Afterwards we ate dinner, A trip to the Jefferson and Lin- coln Memorials, which are illu- minated at night, followed dinner. The feeling created by the sight of these magnificent memorials will remain with many of us for a long time, The latter half of our eve- ning was spent at the ,Glen Echo Amusement Park. The following morning our group ate breakfast at the hotel and then checked out. Drowsily, we again boarded our buses for a ride to the Bureau of Printing and Engraving where' all our paper money and postage stamps are printed. During a tour of this building some of us were informed that no samples were available, so we continued our tour to the Washington Monument, The view of the city of Washing- ton from atop the monument is one unequaled. It was enjoyed by all who went to the top, either by walking or by elevator. Our sightseeing tour continued through the White House and the Smithsonian Museums, including the Arts and Industries Building and the Natural History Building, where exhibits covering a multi- tude of subjects are on view rang- ing from the Wright Brothers' first airplane to the famous Roosevelt Animal Exhibit. We ended this part of our tour at the National Gallery of Art where we were able to buy lunch in the Gallery's cafeteria. Immediately after lunch, the buses took us to the national Capitol where we had our pictures taken with New Jersey's repre- sentative to the House, the honor- able Mr. Frelinghuysen. The congressman took our privileged class to the actual floor of the House of Representatives where we were able to observe several bullet-holes left by the guns of the Puerto Rican fanatics. A most impressive and inspiring tour of the Capitol followed our meeting with Mr, Frelinghuysen. Again, we boarded the buses for the last time and gave a farewell to Washington, D. C, Those of us who went on the trip to our capital cannot help but feel proud of this great city. At 5:46 p.m. on May 22 our train to Plainfield left Mount Royal Station in Baltimore Many of us returned home filled with a feeling so great and heart- warming that we would like very much to make the trip again, Seniors Hired for Permanent Posztzons These seniors have gotten per- manent jobs through Mr. Minton B, Wooton.

..' I Roger Holt Tells of His Ambition: . h Calls NPHS Students Terrific! Canuck Vaneli' S UP By Lynne Boettger Roger Holt, a comparatively new student at NPHS, came here from Hillhouse High School in Connecticut. He is 5 feet 7 inches tall, has blue eyes and brown hair. It you were shown his family tree you would see that he is distantly related to Tim Holt, the cowboy actor. Fame seems to run in Roger's family. His father won the 1950 Metropolitan Art Award in New York City. Mr. Holt's exhibit showed a series of landscape scenes. Roger's ambition is to become an actor. Up to now he has had quite a lot of experience. Four years ago someone saw him in a school play in Florida and sug- gested he go deeper into dramat- ics. At that time he began taking lessons and seriously studying drama. Since then he has worked for three and a half years in sum- mer and winter stock in Florida, Connecticut, and New York. Roger also attended dramatic school at the Pasadena Playhouse in Cali- fornia.. Altogether he has appeared in twenty-five plays. Included in these were John Loves Mary in Con- necticut and the lead in The Wins- low Boy in New York. Working in drama so extensively, he has been on the set with many big name actors and actresses, some of whom are currently appearing on Broadway. At the present time Roger is re- hearsing :for Be Your Age, a play to be put on at the Foothill Playhouse in June. So far he has been in thirty-five states and has lived in five. From this traveling experience he ad- vises uanybody who can to travel because it's so educational to see how people talk and live. Roger has been to Yellowstone National e .. Park, Texas, the Rio Grande, Los Angeles, Pike's Peak, Salt Lake City and Canada. His travels have been by boat, train, car and plane. Of them all he thinks that it is much more enjoyable and educa- tional by car. If anyone has any complaints about NPHS, listen to the impres- sion it gave Roger. I like the methods of teaching and the way NPHS is run. I've been in nine different schools, and of them all, I prefer this one. As for the stu- dents, They take an interest in youg you're not just shoved aside. They're terrific! Along with Roger's praise there is also complaint. The foremost in this category is our crazy, mixed- up New Jersey weather. A warm, tropical climate is much more to his satisfaction. Aside from our disagreeable climate, New Jersey, to Roger, has been the most im- pressive state with the friendliest people. Roger decided that the people in Somerset County are tremendous. fNot particularly in size, we hopell Somewhere in his travels he has acquired a very expensive taste in foods. Filet mignon and delicacies such as caviar are most appealing to him. Several Faculty Members Leaving NPHS After June Miss Irene Snyder, who has taught practical mathematics and geometry at NPHS for two years, is leaving this year. She received her B.S. degree from the College Misericordia, and didgraduate work at Fordham, Columbia, aknd Petnnsyltanviak State University. Mr. Kenneth J.

He is presently studying for a doc- tor of philosophy degree in physi- ology and physiotherapy. All of his college work has been done at New York University. This teacher has several sug- gestions to offer for the improve- ment of NPHS. He believes there should be more pupil participation in extracurricular activities, and says regarding this, There are al- ways the same people in every activity. A well-attended extracur- ricular program is a most impor- tant item for a good school mo- rale. He would also like to see better lunchroom facilities and, the kg- 11.4. ...k dream of so many teachers, a new and larger school. Mr. Wolf will be a physical edu- cation teacher and coach at South Plainfield Higli School next year.
