23 TRAVELOGUE OF THE CLASS OF 1939 On Monday morning, April 10, 1939, a group of excited seniors boarded the New York Central at Albany. We arrived in New York City at 12:15 F. M. where we ate our lunch and then pro- ceeded by ferry to Jersey City. There we took the Baltimore and Ohio for Washington, D. C. We arrived at the Union Station in Washington, D. C. at 6:15 P. M. and were taken by taxi to Hotel Burlington where we stayed while in the city. In the evening we enjoyed our private dance which was held from 9:00 to l:()() o’clock. The second day of our trip consisted wholly of sight seeing. In the morning we visited the beautiful Franciscan Monastery. Its catacombs were one of the many interesting features to be seen there. We then proceeded to the Bureau of Federal Investigation where a “G” man conducted us through the entire building. Our next stop was at the Bureau of Printing and Engraving where we witnessed the making of United States paper money and postage stamps. Next we visited the White House. The rooms which we saw were very beautiful and were certainly typical of such a tine mansion as the White House. Our last stop that morning was at the Washington Monument, the top of which was reached by elevator. All of Tuesday afternoon was spent at the National and Smith- sonian Museums. There we saw the Spirit of St. Louis, the plane used by Lindbergh. We saw also gowns which had been worn by the wives of former Presidents of the United States. In the National Museum we saw the skeletons of many prehistoric animals. After visiting the museums, we were taken to the United States Capitol and were permitted to see the Senate and the House of Representatives in session. After dinner, the ride to the Congressional Library, best seen at night when beautifully illuminated, was enjoyed. Of par- ticular interest were the noted Gutenberg Bible, the original Dec- laration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States, the smallest volume in the world, and the beautiful mosaic figure which is made of thousands of pieces of different colored stones. Wednesday morning we stopped first at the George Washington Memorial at Alexandria. Then we motored to Mount Vernon, the home and final resting place of George Washington. Our next stop was at the beautiful Arlington National Cemetery. We visited the Lee Mansion, the Amphitheater and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. In the afternoon we traveled to Annapolis, Maryland, where we saw the midshipmen on parade. While there, we made a tour of some of the famous buildings and saw the largest indoor swim-
