« emor Trip J LL that we, the Senior Class of 1938, have left arc happy memories of our Washington trip. We left Schuylerville by private cars at 6:30 Monday morning, April 18, to be at the Albany Station at 8:20 A. M. The weather was rainy, but by the time we arrived at our destination the rain had ceased. We arrived in Washington at 6:15 P. M. The highlight of this part of the journey was crossing the Hudson River from New York to New Jersey by ferry. That evening, we were much impressed by the grandeur of the beauti- fully illuminated Congressional Library. To be able to study in that read ing room should inspire anyone. Tuesday and Wednesday were devoted entirely to sightseeing. We visited the Bureau of Printing and Engraving, where it was thrilling, but tantalizing to gaze upon a share of the Nation’s wealth. The National and Smithsoneon Museums provided a paradise for art-lovers. Then there was a special visit to the Bureau of Federal Investigation where a “G” man acted as guide to explain fully how criminals are successfully “tracked down.” Special letters enabled us to go through the White House. We likewise visited the U. S. Capital and the U. S. Supreme Court Building, where guide service was included. A ride to the top of the Washington Monument was most enjoyable because of the expansive panorama of the surrounding territory brought to view. One afternoon was devoted to a trip to Mount Vernon, the home and last resting place of George Washington. A stop to the Arlington National Cemetery was made, where we were fortunate in seeing a funeral of a soldier. While on this stop we visited the Lee Mansion, the Am- phitheatre, and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Here, we were able to witness the impressive ceremony of the changing of the guards. On our return trip we stopped at Alexandria. We also stopped at the Lincoln Memorial, a very impressive spot. Another entire afternoon was spent at Annapolis; we arrived in time to see the cadets march in from the drill field, then visited many of the prominent buildings—McDonough Hall, Bancraft Hall, the Chapel where lies at rest John Paul Jones, and Dahl- gren Hall where the midshipmen have indoor drills. On our way back we went to the Franciscan Monastery. The catacombs, a replica of the original ones of Rome, were grand to see. All evenings were free for us to further acquaint ourselves with Washington and the friendly folk there. We started back to New York at 11:30 A. M. Thursday morning. Upon our arrival in New York, busses transported us to the Victoria Hotel. While in New York a group of us visited the broadcasting studio, “toured” through the world’s largest stores, and tried to absorb some of the phases of New' York life. Most of us took in the Tommy Dorsey pro- gram; many went to the Yankee stadium to see the Yanks play the Senators. We stayed in New' York until Saturday afternoon. We arrived home tired but very happy with our minds filled with “So Many Memories.” We hope that next year our heirs, the Juniors, have the opportunity to visit the beautiful city of Washington and have as pleasant a time as we had. —Jane Cormie, ’38. —25—
