the Tomb of Martha and George Washington. The sun was shining beautifully and all appreciated the good weather we had, up to then. On our way to Annap- olis, we stopped at the Penn Daw and had a delicious lunch of southern fried chicken. We continued to the Naval Academy where we girls had a delightful time. We tried to see Miss Flahive ' s brother, but were unable to wait for him, as we had to get a train from Baltimore at 5:30, much to our disappointment. On the train we ate in the dining car, after giving the waiter a hard time. It seems that he had never seen anyone drink iced tea the way we did. We arrived at the Hotel Taft in New York at approximately ten o ' clock, and after getting rid of our back-breaking luggage, took a walk down Times Square. We were fascinated by the lights and so many people rushing up and down the streets at so late an hour, but it was only a matter of hours before we were a part of this mad rush. Thursday morning came so suddenly! My, what tricky hours. We ate in the Taft Coffee Shop and had a chance to digest our food excellently on a tour of the NBC building, where the various sound effects were demonstrated and we saw the control rooms and studios. Some of our group were interviewed on television, and the rest could see them on a screen in the next room. At 11:30 we went to the radio program, Quick as a Flash, where Eddie Pickett was chosen one of the contestants and actually won $35. We proceeded to the observation roof, which is seventy floors up, where we ate our lunch and viewed the city. This was our first rainy day, but we got passes to see the city from the roof when it was clear. It the afternoon, we took a three-hour Manhattan Cruise, and saw many interest- ing buildings and skylines and got an excellent view of the Statue of Liberty. In the evening, part of the group went to see Billy Eckstine in person and Riding High, while the rest went to the Roxy and saw Fran Warren, the Harmonic Cats, and Cheaper by the Dozen. Friday! Our aching feet! We went on a sightseeing tour through China- town, the East Side, the financial district, and the Bowery. The guide amused us with his corny jokes, although some of them were really funny. It seemed he had one for every building. We continued to the Automat, where we spent a very fascinating noon hour. In the afternoon, we exercised our vocal chords at the Yankee Stadium where the Yankees were playing the Senators. Since we did not root for either, we were asked whom we were for. Our answer was obvious — the Boston Red Sox. Of course that was followed by many an argument. Dinner was provided at the Hotel Bristol in the Pink Elephant room. The Lady Kath- erine Circle had generously given us tickets to the television program, 20 Ques- tions, so we enjoyed part of the evening at NBC again. Following the broadcast, we went to Radio City Music Hall and saw Daughter of Rosie O ' Grady and the Rockettes in a beautiful stage show. Saturday, that sad but wonderful day! Part of the group went to the Empire State Building and shopping, while the rest stayed, dead-to-the-world, in their rooms. At three o ' clock our ever-ready chaperones escorted a dejected-looking group into a bus which took us on a tour of uptown New York, Riverside Drive, Grant ' s Tomb, Harlem, and the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, arriving at Grand Central Station at six o ' clock. Our comfortable train was never so alluring as then. The ride home consisted of sleeping, eating, talking, singing and playing that never-to-be-forgotten card game, I Doubt It which our chaperones taught us. We arrived in Providence at 9:45. We would like to give the coming seniors a little tip as to their class trip. First, stay in Washington more than three days; second, don ' t believe all the great things you hear about New York (only half are true), and third, choose as won- derful chaperones as we did, and you will have the most wonderful time of your life, and that ' s just what we had!

Student Council again had charge of the kinchroom clean-up this year. Two members are appointed to clean the lunchroom after recess for a certain period of time. After this time has elapsed, two more members are appointed. The Student Council is also arranging to put up bulletin boards in the school to keep students posted on happenings in N.H.S. One of the most notable things the Student Council did this year was to succeed in lengthening the recess period five minutes, which was greatly appreciated by all the students. The Council also has charge of the Memorial Day program which is presented this year. As usual, the members of Student Council attended two conventions, which always prove to be both interesting and entertaining. This year the conventions were held at Fairhaven, Massachusetts, on December 7, 1949, and at Somerset, Massachusetts, on April 15, 1950. The members of Student Council for 1950 include: Mary Camara, Betty Drane, Vincent Ferrini, Lucille Teixeira, David Rocha, Ernest Roy, Derek Little, Margaret Atkins, Charles Mosher, Yvonne Boisse, Mary Moniz, Malcolm Cheever, Jean Zwolensky, and Kit Knapton. Senior Class Trip It was Monday, April 17, at 7:51 a.m., when twenty-one members of the Senior Class and Mr. and Mrs. Irvin Fuller bade farewell to the Attleboro Depot and embarked for Providence. We boarded the 8:20 train to New York and spent an enjoyable four hours singing, playing cards, and eating our picnic on wheels. At 11:55 we left the train and transferred to a motor coach which took us through lower New York City and across the Hudson River on a ferry. The Sta ue of Liberty could not be seen distinctly, as it was quite misty. At one o ' clo ck v e boarded the train at Jersey City and arrived in Baltimore, Maryland at 4:55. We were met by a comfortable bus and taken to the Stafford Hotel, where we enjoA ed an appetizing dinner. We then serenaded our interesting and jolly bus driver on the way to Washington. He pointed out the many famous buildings, including the Congressional Library, Lincoln Memorial, Jefferson Memorial, Washington Monument, and the beautiful Capitol illuminated against the sky. A weary, but wide-awake group arrived at the Hotel Hamilton about ten o ' clock that evening. Most of us explored the building, unpacked, wrote cards, lost our way in the halls, and last, but not least, went to bed ( after being told to be a little more quiet by the house detective). Tuesday morning dawned sunny and extremely early! After a welcome breakfast in the Gold Room, we were on our bus bound for the Bureau of Engrax - ing and Printing, which we toured and saw the various processes money goes through before it is completed. We went to the top of the Washington Monu- ment and had an excellent view of Washington. The remainder of the day was spent in a tour of the Capitol ( where we had our group picture taken ) , the Smith- sonian Institute, the Pan American Union, and the F.B.I. Buildings, which we all agreed was one of the most interesting of all the buildings. That e ' ening, we had a grand time at Glen Echo Park in Maryland. Incidentally, there were a certain few of our girls who haunted the Roller Coaster six times! By Wednesday, a little of our pep had left us, needless to say. We packed and climbed into our bus and went to the Lincoln Memorial again, as man - of us wanted to see it in the day time and take pictures. We dro e through Fort Mm r and visited Arlington National Cemetery, the old and new Amphitheatres, and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, where we saw the ceremony of changing guards. We continued to the Lee Mansion and went through it, also the sla e quarters; then on to Mt. Vernon, where we roamed the lovely grounds and saw
