Senior History train bound for 'Westport one hot morning last August. We h 'L cal to ouiselves and quite filled it, as there were about fifty of us. There was lots of fun and things l 1 l durin the trip 'Xt Westport the class divided, half remaining there and half going to Eliza- were cept ivey g . . bethtown eight miles farther back from Lake Champlain. Our first impressions of Vlfestport, gathered near the Sta- HE CLASS of 1903 first met as Seniors on a aa. - - A -' ' -, ' Y B tion, were far from pleasing, but a walk towards the lake brought us into a more pleasant part of the town and inaterially improved our opinion of it. The looking up of boarding houses took some time, but everyone Hnally found a place. Several of the fellows put up at a small hotel on the main road, but one meal there was sufficient to make them change their quarters. The land along the line of the proposed survey was divided among the sections ' ' d l cted the strip nearest the town: an unfortunate choice as it of the class. Section 1 had the fiist choice an se c turned out, because, owing to a wide valley, the line doubled back and became about twice as long as that of any other section. This, however, was only the beginning of the misfortunes of Section I, whose hard luck Soon became proverbial in the class. The day after our arrival the work of the survey began and the inhabitants of the country soon saw with sur- prise, parties of engineers, with transits and levels, running lines through their cornfields and orchards which suffered materially from these operations. As the fellows did not like the long walk to and from work, a hay- l hich took them out in the morning and back in the afternoon. This ride made one of the wagon was securec, w most pleasant features of the survey and did much to enliven our stay. We found Westpo1't a very tame place compared with Granville, the scene of our junior Survey, but yet we managed to have a good time. The prin- cipal excitement to be found in town was the arrival, every evening, of the steamboat from Plattsburg. A5 the town is run on strict temperance lines the time was passed in a much more quiet way than during the survey of ' f Neve rtheless the crowd got together and made several attempts to impress upon the towns- the previous year. Q , no Jl the fact that they were entertaining R. P. I. students within their borders. One amusement frequently 1 A I 0 , e I indulged in was fishing, and many tales are told concerning the weight of the fish caught by Prof Flynn and Deutch. 31
