Forty-Niners Travelogue On Monday April 25, twelve members of the Senior Class met Mr. and Mrs. Irvin Fuller at the High School to start our trip to Washington. All were excited with eyes shining and beautiful new clothes. We all reached Providence on time and the chaperones didn ' t have to worry. We boarded the train at 8:20 a.m.. and to add to our excitement we shared a car with Millis High School. One of the Millis boys was a born clown and tried on the girls ' hats to give us a fashion show. We had our lunches with us, so we had a wonder- fully messy picnic. On arriving at (jrand Central Station at i2:oo a.m., we walked to the H. O. Bus Terminal (which seemed to us to be at least fifteen blocks) where we deposited our suitcases and then decided to walk around town to pass two hours. During our tour we went to the Empire State Building which all of us enjoyed (except, perhaps, the few that left their stomachs at the top). I am sure Carmella was glad when our time was up. as she had a blister and was aching to sit down. We went back to the Bus Terminal where we boarded a bus that took us on a ferry to Jersey City. We didn ' t get a very good view of the Statue of Liberty, but hoped to on the way back. Finally in Jerse ' City we boarded a train which took us through the States of New Jersey. Pennsyh ania, Delaware and Maryland. Ve had a ery good dinner on the train even to the coffee that Shirley couldn ' t calm down. Undoubtedly the coffee had nerves; it shook so. We arrived at Baltimore where we met our tour guide Bill and a group of students from New Ipswich, N. H., who were to share our bus with us. Of course, no one minded, especially the girls, because there were five boys in their group. Our first stop in Washington was the Congressional Library where members of the class saw the original manuscripts of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States. On our way to our hotel we took pictures of the beautifully illuminated Capitol Building and visited the Lincoln Memorial. When we arrived at the Hotel everyone was tired but excited. We were assigned to rooms and got into them, but didn ' t stay very long. We went roaming through the hotel until i i :oo p.m. Finally, when we thought everyone was asleep. Doris started talking, and then ever one started to talk. At i :20 Doris got up again and wrote some cards home. At 2 :oo a.m. we were all asleep. Tuesday morning everyone got up at the ungodly hour of 7 :oo a.m. to enjoy a wonderful breakfast in the Chantilly room. Breakfast consisted of scrambled eggs, burnt toast and over-fried potatoes. It was very appetizing. At 8:30 we went to the Capitol Building where the traditional picture of the group was taken. In our guided tour through the Capitol Building we were shown the right wing, which was called The Cuspidor by Will Rogers, and then to the Senate Chambers and the House of Representatives. In Statuary Hall there is a small metal plate on each side of the room. We were told to stand around one while the guide weuX to the 18
