WASHINGTON D. C. TRIP On Thursday morning, April 10, 1947, the Junior and Senior Classes consisting of 34 members, accompanied by Arnold Conrad, a faculty member, and Miss Cora Jane Ememhiser of Fort Wayne, left for the five day tour of the Eastern States. We started our long journey by going to Decatur then to Van Wert where we took Highway 30 through Upper Sandusky, Bugyl-us, and Mansfield, Ohio, where we ate dinner. After an hour we continued our journey through Wooster, Massillon, Canton, and East Liverpool. Then we whizzed through West Virginia, and arrived at the Fort Pitt Hotel in Pittsburg at five o'clock, We were so eager to continue our journey to Washington that we didn't sleep so we got a very early start on Friday. ' After spending Friday morning visiting points of interest in Pittsburgh, including Forbes Field, home of the Pittsburgh Pirates, we proceeded to our destination, arriving there at three in the after- noon. Before going to the Hotel Annapolis we went through the Wash- ington Cathedral, which was just being completed and saw many fam- ous tombs. About five we were in our hotel rooms with instructions to have fun but be on the bus at seven the next morning. On Saturday we got our first glimpse of this beautiful city with all of its colorful cherry blossoms. We also saw many important places on Saturday such as the White House, Capitol, Smithsonian Institute, National Gallery of Art, Ford's Theater, Congressional Library, National Airport, Tomb of the Unknown Dead, Christ Church Potomac River, U. S. Supreme Court Building, Lincoln Memorial, Jeffersons' Monument, Lee Mansion, Mt. Vernon, and historic Alexandria, Virginia. During the morning we had a group picture taken with Congressman Gillie. Sunday some visited the Washington Monument during the morning. Leaving Washington at one o'clock, we toured the Annapolis Naval Academy, a submarine on Chesapeake Bay, and saw John Paul Jones Tomb in Maryland, after which we proceeded to Gettysburgh where we spent the night in private homes. We saw the Eternal Peace Light when we visited the famous Civil War battle ground site on Monday morning. After taking our special guide back to Gettysburg we traveled the Pennsylvania Turn- pike which has a series of seven mountain tunnels. We arrived in Pittsburgh where we spent Monday night before returning home on Tuesday afternoon, April 15, 1947, where a very weary group of students bade farewell to our bus driver, Wayne Oxley, and guide, Tom Totten.
