S. Comet, which was to take us to New York. We had a very enjoyable trip on the boat and docked in New York Harbor at 7 A. M. Saturday morning. We had a glimpse of the New York skyline in passing and were hustled into a spacious bus and started on the long trip to Washington-city of our destination. At noon we stopped at the Quaker City, Philadelphia, where we visited Independence Fall, Old City Hall, and the fetsy Ross House. These buildings played an i portfnt part in the early history of our country and impressed us very much. After luncheon we afain started out and arrived in Washington in the late afternoon. Very happy and excit- ed we registered at the Burlington Hotel on Vermont Av- enue. When we arrived it was raining. When we left it was raining. It rained all the while we were there, but that didn't dampen our enthusiasm a bit. Sunday morning we started out on a tour. We rode in a bus with students from two other schools, and an excellent guide, who told us many interesting as well as informative things as we went along. During the morning we stopped at Mount Vernon, home of George Washington, Lee Mansion, home of General Robert E. Lee, Arlington Cemetery, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and Lincoln Memorial. In the afternoon we wandered through the several buildings of Smithsonian Institute and the Museum of Natural History, and at night we visited the Congres- sional Library which contains the original copies of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of our country.
