The Forty-Niners Though our high school da s are ending. And we ' ve reached our goal at last. We ' ll take with us fond memories Of the four years that we ' ve just past. Of the dearness of our old home room. The thimibed pages of many a book. The encouraging guidance of a skilled hand, All these and many more, we ' ll ne ' r o ' erlook. And may we achieve through the years to come, The goals we ' ve had in view. And may we forty-niners have great happiness, In all things that we do. Aim high — ever higher, That ' s always been our cry. So wish us joy and good fortune. As we leave dear old Norton High. 21

the ekvator, as everyone w. s too sceptical about reaching the top by the stairs. From the top we got a beautiful view of the Capitol Building and many other spots of interest. When we arrived at the Smithsonian Institute, we were warned that only 45 minutes was to be spent in both buildings. When we first spotted the Spirit of St. Louis , Lindbergh ' s first plane, there were cries from a certain girl in the crowd OH! is that really a plane? Are you sure it won ' t fall? Of course, she was assured by a very strong handsome Charles that he would protect her. The afternoon was spent at the United States Naval Academy. We made a complete guided tour of the grounds and buildings, seeing the chapel, St. John ' s College, the old State House, Queen Ann ' s Church, and the Tomb of John Paul Jones. The evening was free. Some went to the baseball game with Mr. f uller; some to the movies with Mrs. Fuller, and three were left on good behavoir in their room. We were good, for there was no one to bother us or no one for us to bother. Thursday, April 28. The first thing in the morning was the tour that we didn ' t take Wednesday through the Bureau of Printing and Engraving. We saw how all currency is printed. We gave enough hints, but they only give out samples the second Monday of every week. We then went to the Franciscan Monastery, the Shakespearean Library and the Supreme Court Building. In the Shakespearean Library we saw a miniature of the Globe Theatre and a large model of the inside of a Shakespearean Theatre with all the balconies. Most of Thursday afternoon we spent traveling to New York where we stayed at the Victoria Hotel. In the evening we enjoyed dinner and a Broadway review at Billie Rose ' s Diamond Horseshoe. Later that evening the chaperones separated and took different groups to movies. Friday, April 2g. At 9:30 a.m. we went to the RCA Building and met a very agre eable guide, who took us through the Broadcasting studios, where we saw Jack Burch rehearsing for a show. We also saw Rita, Edward and Mrs. Fuller on tele- vision from an adjoining room. We ate lunch in the Automat. It was fascinating to some but to others it was not enjoyable at all. The boys liked it so much they went back there for dinner. At 1 :3() some of the group left for a baseball game at the Yankee Stadium to see the Yankees and the Red Sox. The rest went on a sight seeing yacht for a 2 2 hour lectured cruise around Manhattan Island. Mrs. Lopez, formerly Marion Andrews, was chaperone for this cruise. After our activities of the afternoon, the girl ' s left in taxicabs for Mike ' s Ship A ' hoy for dinner. This place was very quaint. We sat in small boats to eat. After dinner we walked to Radio City Music Hall to see Bing Crosby in A Connecticut Yankee and also the famous Rockettes in their Easter show which was both beautiful and inspiring. Saturday morning, April 30, we did a little shopping and a little packing before going to Grand Central Station for lunch and boarding the train for home. Mr. and Mrs. Fuller expected everyone to go to sleep on the train but we read and played cards. We were all very glad to get home and to bed early for once in a whole week. 20
