..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. Although quite a few boys signed up, only one is definitely placed, Norma Appolloni, Barbara Ar- nold, Albert Blattel, Phyllis Bro- kaw, Aida D'Adamo, Lorraine De Canto, Virginia Hacklander, Beverly Hill, Gail Jessop, Marilyn Latty, Shirley Olsen, Pat Sherer, and Eleanor Stephan have definite jobs. Because of the scarcity of sum- mer jobs, no one has been definite- ly signed up for a summer job. TED'S TYDOL STATION Tlrel - Batteries Lubrication Tel.
