WASHINGTON TRIP On Friday afternoon, April 3rd, a small group began to gather in front of the school at about 3:30. Of course you don’t have to be told—it was the seniors about to start on their Washington tour. By 4 o'clock goodbyes were said, pupils and luggage crowded into cars, and we were off for Saratoga. There was a small delay in Saratoga, but when the train did arrive, again goodbyes were said to parents and friends who had accompanied us this far on our journey. In Albany we boarded the sleeper and it seemed that then, and only then, did we really start on our Great Adventure. Sleeping on the cars was rather a novelty to most of us and there wasn’t much sleeping enjoyed. All night long one could hear giggles or voices calling from one end of the car to the other. Our first sight of Washington was rather depressing. It was about 7 o’clock in the morning and a low fog or mist seemed to be settling over the city. But it took more than that to dampen our spirits. While we were there we visited some beautiful places and gazed on impressive sights, such as the Congressional Library at night, the National Museum, the Smithsonian Institution, Bureau of Printing and Engraving, Pan-American Build- ing. Annapolis and the Naval Academy, the Monastery, Mt. Vernon, the Wash- ington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, the Capitol and the White House. But don’t think that we went around the city viewing everything with awe- stricken manner. We had our own good times. I don't think anyone will ever forget Mr. Schultz being taken for one of the boys and ordered out of the girls’ room, or the difficulty of trying to eat ice cream with nail files and paper drinking cups. Some of the boys bad difficulty finding their pajamas, but they were finally located under the davenport covers. Fred Carlson knows the difficulty of trying to sleep on a bed covered with cracker crumbs. On our way to New York we stopped in Philadelphia and made a tour of that city in buses, stopping only at Independence 11 all to see the Liberty Bell. Roxy’s in New York is nice and provided good entertainment, but it was not enough to keep a group of seniors awake after being up most of the night before and traveling all day. The seniors agree unanimously that this trip is well worth working for and wish to take this opportunity to thank all those who in any way made it possible. Marion Beaulac, ’31. T wclve
