PI-V-C+ that it was worth seeing. The only disheart- ening thing about this visit was that they had to walk approximately 416 miles, or so they said. The girls, to pass the time away, walked around the canal watching huge boats and enjoying ourselves to the utmost. It was quite chilly and wet that morning, but we refused to let this fact dampen our spirits. From here we went to the Isco Chemical Plant located in Niagara Falls. We failed to obtain very much information on account of the fact that we were unable to hear our guides when they were explaining the process to us. However, we saw the commercial pro- duction of NaOH, C12, NaOCl, FeCl:i, and Ca CO1-112, thus making our study of chemis- try more real. We next went to the Hydro- Electric Plant in Niagara Falls. We were all very much surprised to see how exceedingly clean this plant was. We saw the machines in which water power is converted into elec- tricity, etc. The visit was very interesting. We had a very nice guide in both of our groups. From this plant we went to Hotel Converse. Upon arriving at the hotel, we were told that for the sum of twenty-five dollars we could be taken in taxis over to Canada to see all the views as well as the colored lights on the Falls. We liked the proposition so we went, but upon arriving at our destination we were all more or less disappointed. After seeing the lights on the Falls, some of us went skating, and some went to the movies. After skating, we were each given a news- paper which was called Spills and Trills. It was very interesting. Upon arriving at our hotel, we were all rather tired, but realizing that this night was our last one out we de- cided to have as much fun as possible. We got some gingerale and 90? of the class was in one room drinking gingerale, swapping yarns, playing cards, or reading the skating paper and other magazines. Our celebration broke up at approximately three-thirty, and we all went to our respective rooms. The five- thirty call from the hotel clerk Cwho by the way was awakened by Messrs. R. Briggs and Slug Smithj was received by a group of sleepy children. We had enjoyed ourselves previous- ly but, oh! the getting up! What a jolt! At six-thirty we were on our way to Roches- ter. All of us had had our breakfast, but few were conscious enough to know it. We slept until we came to Rochester. Here we went to the Eastman Kodak Plant. Here, we saw film made, the boxes for film constructed, the film put into the boxes, the boxes sealed, and the boxes of film packed for shipment, practically all of the work was done by machines. Mr. Walker remembers very little about the trip through here except leaning up against a post and falling asleep, Miss Cassidy had to keep walking in back of him and prodding him along. It was all rather amusing. By this time we were all so exhausted we cared little to go through Bausch 8: Lomb Optical Company, so we cancelled the trip. About this time we christened our chape- rones with new names, they were Princess Papafooey, Miss Cassidy, Chief Bottle-Nose, Mr. Walker, and Big Chief Running-Nose, Mr. North. We all began an auction. We sold Big Chief Bottle-Nose's strange liquid made by the Injuns to cure everything and anything. We also sold a few other things. Chief Bottle-Nose and Chief Running-Nose tried very hard to teach Princess Papafooey how to speak one phrase of French correctly, with the proper actions. It was really very funny. We all nearly collapsed from laugh- ing. Mr. Walker finally was turned over a seat and spanked soundly by the boys-and I mean spanked! Miss Cassidy had him practi- cally on the floor begging for mercy. Our last lap of the journey, from Rochester home, was the most interesting. We were humored by the teachers-at their expense fthe poor crea- turesD. We bade farewell to the students as they departed one by one. Although we had a very entertaining time, we also obtained a world of knowledge from our trip, and we sincerely hope that next year the science classes may have a trip such as this one. page twenty seven
