Smith Academy - Echo Yearbook (Hatfield, MA)

Text from Pages 1 - 78 of the 1953 volume:

=4 =4 Ml s H Foreword With the full co-operation of the faculty, the yearbook staff was able to produce a bigger and bet- ter Echo this year. This issue contains more pic- lures, good reports and several novel features, such as the purple title pages, the informal photographs, and the descriptive write-ups for the instructors. In order to make this yearbook successful, the staff worked for many months checking photo- graphs, improving reports and re-arranging feature pages. Therefore, it is with great pride, that we present to the school and to the community this 1953 Echo.

The students of Smith Academy and the people of Hatfield have always been grateful to Sophia Smith and to the Trustees who have carried out her wishes. We would like to renew and reaffirm this gratefulness at this time, because of the many fine improvements made in the building dur- ing our high school course. In addition to the structural improvements made in the build- ing itself, we are especially appreciative of the following: the painting of classrooms with soft pastel shades, the installation of fluorescent lighting, and the improvements of the auditorium. The auditorium, with its newly painted ceiling and walls, fluores- cent lights, sanded floor and comfortable theater-type seats, has given us an excellent meeting place. These improvements have made our four years at Smith Academy a pleasant experience, and we know that these improvments will be enjoyed for years to come. f A C SUBJECTS English IA, IIA, IIIA, IVA English IIIB, IVB EXTRA-CURRICULAR School Paper Advisor Prize Speaking Dramatics Freshman Advisor Graduation Speakers MISS MARY E.

Who were they but the Class of 1953 as freshmen at Smith Academy in 1949. Once we became used to the routine in high school, we lost our earlier despair about getting along in senior high and set out to prove we had what it takes to make a name for ourselves as a class. Twenty-three of us came to school that day in September and busily set about choos- ing courses, electing officers, and finding out what S. A. had to offer. The Mega- phone just happened to be sitting in on some of our class meetings, and when he left he knew quite a few facts — that Carl Wendoloski had been chosen to guide our class over the first year, with Jane Dugal, Sylvia Raffa and Judy Ryan as vice-president, secretary, and treasurer in that order; that Mr. Cassidy had unanimously been chosen as our class advisor; that the freshman class, being so proud of its freshman basket- ball team, had decided to send for letters for each member; that we had quite a few girls in our class who were athletically inclined; and that we planned to hold a Fresh- man Dance on April 14, with Ray Black ' s music floating out across the dance floor for the young S. A. couples to dance to. By the way, we could add at this point that the dance was a huge social success, which made up for the fact it was not so successful financially. And The Megaphone assured us that it was more important that all have a good time than that the class make a huge sum of money. This bit of wisdom was preserved, and served as a pattern for our future social events. As the freshman year pulled to a close, we watched the seniors busily preparing for commencement, realizing that some day we would be doing the same thing. We left S. A. for sum- mer jobs, assuring The M. as he is sometimes called, that we would return in the fall to join with him in more fun-filled activities. And return we did, with Jane Dugal taking over the reins from Carl Wendoloski lor class president, and he in turn taking them over from Fred Belden by passing on to represent us in the school ' s governmental department — the Student Council. This year Fred became our vice-president. Anne Faszcza our secretary, and Donald Bryant took over the duties of chief guardian of the funds. As the days passed The M., eyeing us with understanding, excusing us for our mistakes, realizing our youth, listened intent- ly as we made plans for our second social event, and ordered our class rings. He also witnessed those athletically-inclined girls in the class of ' 53 realize their aspirations as Sylvia Raffa, Jane Dugal, Judy Ryan, and Dotty Pelis made the team, and then in the male department Donald Bryant and Edwin Smith saw action for our basketball team. What stands out in everyone ' s minds for the junior year? Before the day arrives, it is referred to as The Ordeal — and after the day is over, as the Memorable Occa- sion. What am I speaking of? Prize Speaking! The Megaphone, poor thing — I believe he sweated and worried with us over the speeches as much as we did. But they came out all right, with each of us, although not winning first place, gaining new confidence in talking and expressing ourselves before others. SENIOR CLASS ADVISOR AND OFFICERS But then our junior year was filled with many other activities. Twenty of us had elected Stanley Cybulski to be our guiding light, with Jeanette Zalenski as vice-presi- dent, Arlene Pelc as scribe and Sylvia Raffa as treasurer. We named Jane Dugal and Donald Bryant to speak for us at the Student Council. Sports, as usual, called Edwin Smith, Donald Bryant, Richard Woloss, and Stanley Cybulski to play basketball, and Edwin Smith and Richard Woloss, to play soccer. Don Bryant ' s absence was felt very much at the end of junior year, both in sports and in school, because of his transfer to Northampton High. Although the senior play benefited the seniors, we felt that we had much to do with its success, for Jane Dugal had the lead, with Fred Belden, Carl Wendoloski, Anne Faszcza, and Judy Ryan with leading supporting roles. Another important event was filled with joy and sadness in our junior year — that was the fact that we took over the square dance concessions at the Town Hall on March 2, only to have it taken away from us because the dances were stopped. We felt pretty low, as we depended on this concession for money to finance our trip to Washington. So we went back to The M. for comfort; and, as usual, he told us, Where there ' s a will there ' s a way. A way there was, as you can see by noting how we raised money for our Senior Trip. Another event which took place in our junior year was the acquir- ing of a new class advisor, because of Mr. Cassidy ' s leaving — our choice was Mr. Bas- tin, the new coach. Well, our last year came and — well, let ' s let The Megaphone tell you all about our last year in S. A. It was a fall day when I had looked out my window in 1949, and today, three years later, I was doing the same — this time I looked out to see groups of students enter- ing the old academy — and this time I recognized the same faces I had seen before, but three years had made a difference — they were confident of themselves and could be the joy and pride of any high school. I attended their first class meeting and found them electing John Brassord as president; Jeanette Zalenski, vice-president; Pauline Sadow- ski, secretary; and Richard Woloss, treasurer. They also chose Stanley Cybulski, Judy Ryan and Sylvia Raffa to represent them in running the affairs of the school in the Student Council. Remembering the advice I had given them, they set out to make money. They planned a food sale first, which proved to be very successful. Then came the card party. As I sat there and watched the business-like faces of these students, I felt how qualified they were to go on their own next year, after commence- ment. Plans were also made for another food sale in the coming months. As usual, this class of 1953 saw many of its members out for extra-curricular activities. Boys ' sports claimed Ed Smith and Richie Woloss for the varsity basketball. Girls ' sports saw Jane Dugal, Sylvia Raffa, Judy Ryan and Dotty Pelis out for the varsity squad. Dramatics — oh yes — I went to the play, We Shook the Family Tree and enjoyed it immensely from my front row seat, watching the hilarious family of Judy Ryan, as Hildegarde, raise the family tree and more. In their senior year the students really came out for the school ' s publications. The yearbook, The Echo, had Fred Belden as editor and Sylvia Raffa and Carl Wendoloski were the co-editors of the school paper. c L A h m 1 1IHI hi JUNIOR NEWS In September, 1952, twenty blight and happy juniors returned to Smith Academy to continue their studies. In September the junior class welcomed to Smith Academy, Russell Laprise, who was a transfer from Wellesley High School. The officers elected to represent the junior class were Joseph Godzina, president; Bernard Goclowski, vice- president; Rita Vollinger, secretary; Robert Kowalski, treasurer; Pauline Backiel and William Wilkes, Student Council representative s. On October 3, 1952, the juniors had the pleasure of initiating the freshmen. The initiating committee consisted of Rita Vollinger, chairman; Teresa Brassord, Pauline Backiel, Robert Kowalski, Peter Backiel, Robert Baye, and Bernard Goclowski. Presi- dent Joseph Godzina acted as general chairman. This event proved to be very suc- cessful. We only wish we had taken some pictures of the stunts. A dance followed which was also successful. Members of the junior class who participated in the play, We Shook the Family Tree, were Teresa Brassord, portraying Sally; Joan Kalentek, portraying Jill; Peter Backiel, portraying Jimmy. The class was well represented in sports, by both girls and boys. In gh ' ls ' bas- ketball, Rita Vollinger, Pauline Backiel, and Teresa Brassord were regulars on the varsity team, and helped the team considerably all through the season. In boys ' basketball, Bernard Goclowski was elected captain of the varsity team, and helping him on the team were Robert Kowalski and Bruce Yarrows, while Joseph Godzina, who played center on the junior varsity, was a substitute for the varsity. Also on the junior varsity squad were William Wilkes, Robert Baye, and Peter Backiel. William Wilkes was also a substitute on the varsity. On the soccer team were five boys from the junior class: Charles Smith, Joseph Godzina, Bernard Goclowski, Robert Baye, and Bruce Yarrows. SOPHOMORE NEWS On September 4, 1952, twenty-five proud students entered Smith Academy as sophomores. At their first class meeting, they re-elected Michael Raffa, president. The other officers elected were vice-president, Joan Romanowski; secretary, Robert Byrne; treasurer, Stephanie Majeski; and Student Council representative, Charles Sadoski. The class sponsored a Halloween dance which was very successful. The Town Hall was decorated in typical Halloween fashion with corn stalks and pumpkins, while many balloons filled the air. Stella Kugler, as prompter, was the only sophomore who participated in the school play. The sophomore class excelled in spoils. Those reporting for soccer were Donald Sadowski, Eugene Dugal, Gerald Barsh, Robert Byrne, Richard Chechvala and Patrick Zgrodnik. The girls participating in basketball were Stephanie Majeski, Patricia Zagrodnik, Phyllis Cybulski, Jean Klocko, Jane Romanowski, Joan Romanowski, Leona Brown, and Frances Porada. FRESHMAN CLASS On September 3, 1952, eighteen freshmen entered Smith Academy — seven girls and eleven boys. The officers elected for the Class of 1950 were: president, Lawrence Goller; vice president, Joseph Erbe; secretary, Carol Ziezulewicz; treasurer, Joanne Sikorski; Student Council representative, Robert Betsold; the class advisor was Miss Ryan. Two boys were accepted for the soccer team, Joseph Erbe as a player and Ronnie Keith as manager. Many boys were out for the boys ' basketball team. Joseph Erbe made the varsity squad. Those who had positions on the J. V. team were: Lawrence Goller, Walter Thayer, Glenn Mathieu and Ronald Keith. Two girls were successful in getting positions on the school paper — Carol Fill and Mary Ziezulewicz. Mary Ziezulewicz also was given a position with the yearbook staff. In March, the class gave a farewell party for Joseph Erbe, whose family moved to Connecticut. In April the freshmen sponsored a successful spring danc . All in all, the freshman class has proved to be a big asset to Smith Academy. ACT nil STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council met earlier in the year and elected the following officers: Stanley Cybulski, president; Judy Ryan, vice-president; and Pauline Backiel, secre- tary-treasurer. The other members who made up the Council were Sylvia Raffa, sen- ior; William Wilkes, junior; Charles Sadoski, sophomore; and Robert Betsold, fresh- man. Several meetings were held and different subjects were brought up. Among the first was the problem of a senior homeroom. The beginning of the year found the seniors sharing the sophomore room. Much disappointment arose because of this. As a result, it was finally brought up before the Student Council, and with the approval of Mr. Jakobek, the seniors were given their own homeroom. Noisy classrooms and crowded corridors were also mentioned. Through the authorization of Mr. Jakobek, all teachers were asked to calm their classrooms and the students were warned that two minutes was ample time to get to class. A penalty for offenders was stressed. This system proved to be very effective. At another meeting, Junior Prize Speaking awards were discussed. The Council members decided that every speaker should be given a prize. First prizes consist- ing of six dollars were to be presented to a girl and boy winner; four dollars as third prize to both a girl and boy winner, and a prize of two dollars to each of the remain- ing speakers. This proved to be very satisfactory as each speaker received something for his effort given to this project. , All in all, the Student Council has taken up most of the important problems in Smith Academy, and was most ably advised by Mr. Jakobek. PRO MERITO This year, the Smith Academy chapter of the Pro Merito Society has increased in membership immensely, largely due to the fact that sophomores are, at present, eligible for Pro Merito rating. Thus, there are three groups, the senior, junior, and sophomore Pro Merito. The senior group consists of Frederick Belden, Jane Dugal, Anne Faszcza, Judith Ryan and Carl Wendoloski. The junior members include: Pa- tricia Novak, Joan Kalentek, Robert Kowalski and Rita Vollinger. The sophomore members are: Phyllis Baceski, Jean Klocko, Stephanie Majeski, Helen Pitchko, Michael Raffa, Jane Romanowski, Joan Romanowski, Charles Sadoski and Lorraine Woloss. A ' l students are required to have an over-all average of eighty-five or better to be eligible for membership. Tho Smith Academy Chapter is a member of the Massachusetts Pro Merito Society, which holds an annual meeting in the spring and regional meetings in the fall in vari- ous schools. This year no regional meeting was held, but the members of the Smith Academy Pro Merito Society are eagerly looking forward to attending the state con- vention which is to be held this spring. ' s SCHOOL PU S. A. STUDENTS PRODUCE SUCCESSFUL YEARBOOK This year the staff of the Echo proudly presents a yearbook which, in their estimation, is unique and different in many aspects. The central symbol of the book is a megaphone. By using this megaphone, let us lins up the industri- ous staff of seniors and undergraduates. Holding the megaphone is the editor-in- chief, Fred Belden, ably assisted by his associate editor, Carl Wendoloski. In- side the megaphone are found the en- thusiastic staff members, diligently writing up their reports. Anne Faszcza, busily counting the ads, since she is business manager, is also thinking of things to write for the seniors. Concentrating on the same subject, senior write-ups, Sylvia Raffa, Jeanette Zalenski, and Arlene Pelc are also busily occupied. Dorothy Pedis and Judith Jenness are writing the senior- scope, while Judith Ryan is recording the Senior Class History. Jane Dugal is finishing the write-ups of the teach- ers, while the other members are like- wise engaged in their respective reports on school activities. They include Rita VollLnger, Patricia Novak, Mary Ziezu- lewicz, Joan Kalentek, Robert Baye, Teresa Brassord, Robert Kowalski, and Pauline Backiel. John Brassord and Stanley Cybulski are thinking of more people to solicit for ads. Always with- in hearing range of the megaphone is our advisor, Mr. Bastin, upon whom we greatly rely for advice and counsel. Because of the combined efforts of Mr. Bastin and the staff, this volume is now being viewed by you. BLICATION LOCAL STAFF PRAISED FOR OUTSTANDING PAPER At the beginning of the school term a large number of students turned out to participate in this project. The fol- lowing members were elected to their re- spective places: co-editors-in-chief, Syl- via Raffa, Carl Wendoloski ; associate editors, Anne Faszcza, Fred Belden; lit- erary editor, John Brassord; art editor, Ronald Barrett; assistant artists, Law- rence Goller, Donald Sadowski, Ronald Keith, Carol Fill, and Leona Brown. These artists, under the direction of Ronald Barrett, are given credit for do- ing a very commendable job. Sports editors were Judith Ryan, Robert Kowal- ski; business manager, Stanley Cybul- ski; assistant managers, Judith Jenness, Dorothy Pelis; freshman reporter, Mary Ziezulewicz; sophomore, Carol Breor; junior, Rita Vollinger; senior, Jeanette Zalenski; F.F.A., Robert Baye; Glee Club, Stanley Cybulski. Gossip columns and features were ably covered by Ar- lene Pelc, Jeanette Zalenski, Patricia Novak, Pauline Backiel, Stella Kugler, Teresa Brassord, Joan Kalentek and Phyllis Cybulski. To these members we give credit for securing information that made the paper a great success. Production staff consisted of Stanley Cybulski, Sylvia Raffa, Rita Vollinger and Dorothy Pelis. Mrs. Pruzynski and Miss Ryan, as advisors, gave much time and effort to make the paper a suc- cess. All the members of the staff did a very commendable job and as a result of their cooperation and hard work the pa- per came out on time and regularly. To those members of the school who were not on the staff, but who contributed their time and effort to help the paper appear on time, we express apprecia- tion. THESPIANS On November 21, a very good performance of We Shook the Family Tree, a comedy in three acts, dramatized by Christopher Sergei, was presented by the tal- ented Smith Academy Thespians. In the leading role, as Hildegarde, who was tired of being a wall flower and whose vivid imagination often got her into trouble, Judith Ryan gave a superb per- formance. Sally, Hildegurde ' s younger sister, who always tended to imitate Hilde- garde in her actions and gestures, was ably portrayed by Teresa Brassord. Carl Wendoloski, as Bob, the older brother who considered himself quite grown up, gave a wonderful performance of a good-natured and clever boy. Jimmy, the younger brother, an impish boy, gadget inventor and likable, was enthusiastically portrayed by Peter Backiel. As Mrs. Dolson, the mother, Anne Faszcza played the part in a firm and understanding manner which gave the family scenes a general appeal. Mr. Dol- son, the father, a good-looking man with gray hair, but without mother ' s patience and fortitude, was played eloquently by Freddie Belden. Ellie-May, a very attractive girl, Bob ' s age, who tries to look and act more sophisticated than she is, was cleverly por- trayed by Jane Dugal. As Jill, a cute girl in a babyish way, Joan Kalentek ' s per- formance was enthusiastic and sweet. Paige, a very young little girl with a serious face and manner, was effectively played by Judy Jenness. As Freddie, a perfectly nice boy, except for the fact that his mother made him wear knickers gave him an inferiority complex, Eddie Merski provides many laughs. Mrs. Shermer, Freddie ' s mother, very fussy and inclined to baby herself and Freddie, was well played by Peggy Ziezulewicz. Edwin Smith, as Mr. Shermer, gave a splendid performance, as a pompous stiff, little man. The action took place in the living-room of the Dolson home. The time of Act I — the afternoon in Spring; Act II — Saturday afternoon, the day of the Prom; Act III — tight o ' clock, the evening of the same day. Furniture was loaned through the courtesy of McCallum ' s Department Store. Under the direction of Miss Maude E. Boyle, music supervisor, the Smith Academy Choral Group presented music after Act I and II. Through the cooperation of the various committees we were able to produce a successful play.

Although the record is none too impres- sive, there is more to the story than can be seen. Smith Academy played schools with an enrollment of nearly five boys to every one of ours, and also had a green squad, made up mostly of first-year men, while the other schools in the Hampshire League had veteran squads. Next year it will be just the opposite, with S. A. having- lost only three letter men. Our boys showed scoring punch, scoring in all but two games, and with improvement on defense next year, the outlook seems bright.

Facing the loss of almost the entire varsity at the outset, Coach Russ Bastin succeeded in moulding together a fast, well-balanced squad. Capt. Bernie ' ' Foots Goclowski combined a deadly set shot with a sweep- ing left-handed hook to become the fifth highest scorer in the Hampshire League. Playing with equal effectiveness alongside him were Huck Smith, the veteran and playmaker with a surprising set shot; Bob Kow Kowalski, the speedy right for- war d with a good shooting eye; Mike Raff a, fast, well co-ordinated, and dependable; Boungie Woloss, smooth-playing, with a clever fake; Joe Red Erbe, the tall, re- bounding center, who caught on fast to a new sport, but, since he is no longer at- tending Smith Academy, is unfortunately lost to the team. These six boys were competently backed up by Joe Godzina, Ronnie Barrett, Bill Wilkes, and Chas Sa- doski. Richard Cechvala capably managed both the varsity and the J. V. ' s. The over-all record of the varsity this year was 14-8, and it stood in a fifth place tie in the league standings. With most of his varsity coming back for another season next year, Coach Bastin is casting envious eyes in the direction of that covet- ed Hampshire League championship. J. V. BASKETBALL Among the bright spots of the ' 52-53 season was the hustling, aggressive J. V. squad, which promises to contribute substantially to next year ' s varsity. Some of the brighter prospects are Joe Godzina, the rugged center; Ronnie Barrett, a fast, hard- driving guard; and Bill Wilkes, who is developing into a good all-around basketball piayer. Also contributing heavily to the spirited play of the second team this year re Chas Sadoski, Peter Backiel, Bobby Baye, Pat Zig Zgrodnik, Larry Goller, Bobby Thayer, and Glenn Mathieu. The future prospects of a basketball team can well be judged by the performance of its junior varsity. The hard, driving play of this year ' s J. V. ' s serves to indicate a continuation of the success of the varsity basketball teams of the past two years. f I m w BASEBALL With the loss of only four regulars from laf.t year ' s nine, and with the return of many of last year ' s stars, Coach John Lefty Symaneyk is looking- forward with con- fidence to an eminently successful season on the diamond this year. The pitching staff is spearheaded hy the hurling mastery of Foots Goclowski and Joe Godzina, backed up by Wallie Gallant and Robert Baye. Behind the catcher ' s mask this year will be Huck Smith, a stalwart veteran of three past campaigns and a hard hitter. Among the other veterans competing for the various positions around the diamond, at the time of this writing, are Ronnie Barrett, Bob Kowalski, Mike Raffa, Boungie Woloss, Herbie Smith, and Chas Sadoski. Included among the new prospects are Richard Cechvala, Larry Goller, Edward Merriam, Ray Gore, and Russ Laprise. The boys expect to start off the season with a bang against St. Michael ' s on April 10, and then rush into the thick of the fight for the Hampshire League championship. GIRLS ' BASKETBALL Smith Academy produced a near-championship girls ' basketball team this year with a record of five wins, four losses and one tie. Under the capable coaching of Mrs. Florence Muller, of the faculty, the Hatfield lass ; es surprised many opponents with their clever faking, their wonderful passing, and their excellent team work. The Junior Varsity team did an exceptionally fine job also, with a score of four wins and three losses. An added attraction, for the Varsity team this year, was the new pur- ple and white garbertex uniforms with the school letters plus the numbers on the blouses. The team was managed this year by Anne Faszcza, assisted by Judy Jen- ness. The schedule: January 20 27 30 February 6 10 13 March 3 6 9 13 Hopkins 24 J. V. 23 Northampton 32 J. V. 18 Deerfield 16 J.

They includ- ed Jane Dugal, Anne Faszcza, and Arlene Pelc, who are seniors and leaving- this year; and Teresa Brassord, Joan Kalentek, and Pat Novak, who will be back again with an on-the-go group. The girls ' outfits were purple corduroy two-piece suits with white tassels at the collar. They were very peppy during their stay on the team, and their splendid performances really gave the boys an urge to try to win every game thai they could. JUNIOR VARSITY CHEERLEADERS Smith Academy was very fortunate to have the same three J. V. cheerleaders again this year. They included Judy Ryan, a senior who will be leaving this year, and the Romanowski twins, Jane and Joan, who are sophomores and will be back again next year to join the varsity group. The J. V. team had very attractive purple two-piece suits with white turtleneck frontpieces knitted in. They cheered the J. V. ' s on to vic- tory every chance they could with plenty of zest and good snappy routines. We glad to have them with us these past two years. were s 1. Practice makes perfect. 2. Unblended voices. 3.

' the ' Waitin ' for the Chattanooga Choo-choo SENIOR CLASS TRIP Monday : Eighteen members of the senior class, eager and excited, met at the Northampton station, April 20, at 7 a.m. Joined by Mrs Battey, we boarded the train for Springfield. There we met the eleven students and four chaperons from Chester. The entire morning and part of the afternoon was spent on the train heading for Baltimore, Md. Our first experience was that of trying to eat on a train. Some found it difficult, others amusing; but all succeeded in satisfying their appetites. Arriving in Baltimore, we boarded a motor coach which brought us to the Old Bay Line pier. Aboard the City of Richmond, after depositing our luggage in the assigned rooms, we all went exploring. After an excellent meal, the entertainment of the evening con- sisted in taking snapshots, roaming the decks, dancing, and making new acquaintances. We retired to our rooms at ten-thirty then the fun began!!! The boys, not under the eye of Mrs. Battey, had their individual pa jama parties; the girls retired, after writing home. Tuesday: Following breakfast aboard the boat, we started out for Williamsburg, Virginia, to tour its restored buildings. Our guide was a pleasant Virginian named Sarah. She was so helpful and friendly that we liked her immediately. After passing through Norfolk, crossing Hampton Roads — which is not land at all, but a meeting point of waters, we visited the Mariners Museum. At colonial Williamsburg there were many things to see. First there was the simple but beautiful Episcopal church, lighted only with candles hanging in brass chandliers, and with its grave markers of famous men in history. After lunch at the noted Williamsburg Lodge, we spent the afternoon visiting the capitol with its House of Burgesses and Governor ' s Council rooms restored exactly as they were in colonial times; the Governor ' s Palace, with its beautiful flower gardens, pond, and the Maze, made of shrubbery six feet high; the Powder House, con- taining old cannon shot and muskets. Once more aboard our bus, we headed for Jamestown. There we saw the site of the first settlement in America, with the walls of the first church still standing; we also admired the statues of Pocahontas and r t m €■ t « V C r %  c «- «r «r C C c • c r r r r r r + t Comme - gi, comme-Qa ' Wife Beaters Song and Dance for a penny by The Kangaroo ' Two heads are better than one Captain John Smith. Returning to Norfolk — passing through famous Yorktown, the scene of Cornwallis ' surrender to George Washington — we arrived at the boat in time for dinner. That evening, the weather being warmer, we played games on deck, followed by dancing. However, a group from South Carolina took over the dance floor and we Northerners had to sit and watch them shack, as they called it. Sailing all night brought us back to dock in Baltimore. Wednesday : After our last breakfast aboard the boat, we left reluctantly, boarded a train, and arrived in Washington at eight-thirty. There we left our luggage at the Carlyle Hotel. A motor coach took us to the Smithsonian Institute, where we saw all the inaugural gowns worn by past Presidents ' wives; the first American locomotive; the Winnie May; the U. S. flag which inspired Francis Scott Key to write the National Anthem; and many other wonderful things which contributed to our knowledge of his- tory. Then, to the National Museum, where the collection of African animals from past President Theodore Roosevelt ' s collection, skeletons of prehistoric animals, and other interesting items were found. Next, to the National Gallery of Art and the Archives Building, where we saw the original copies of the United States Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and the English Bill of Rights. After lunch at the Carlyle, our coach took us to Mount Vernon, former home of George Washington. The site was beautifully located on a high bank overlooking the Potomac River, surrounded by flowers and lawns. Down at the river front we visited the dock. Another thing we saw on the grounds were the tombs of George and Martha Washington. Our next visit was to the peaceful Arlington Cemetery. There, of course, was the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. We saw the change of guard — a very impressive ceremony which took place at exactly five o ' clock. A short distance away was the Memorial Amphi- theatre, constructed entirely of marble. Our guide said it is only used four times a year for ceremonies. After dinner at our hotel, we visited the Lincoln Memorial; the 1 huge Congressional Library, with its mosaic dome, historical documents, even President Eisenhower ' s campaign speeches. The night was one of the most exciting in other things besides touring. That was the night that the kangaroo came into existence; the girls didn ' t behave and go to bed early; and Irene had an interesting lobby date. Pillows are such dangerous weapons! Fill ' er up Just where they belong! Ahhh! Majestic!! Sore — some foursome ' Thursday: This morning our first trip was to the Bureau of Printing and Engrav- ing — the place where United States paper currency, bonds, and stamps are manufactured. It was a tempting sight — all that money! Next our coach brought us to the Washing- ton Monument, which many of us fools decided to climb. We regretted the decision many times on the way up. The view from the top was spectacular. After the climb everyone ate a hearty lunch. In the afternoon we enjoyed a tour of the U. S. Capitol, including Statuary Hall, the House of Representatives, the Senate, the former Supreme Court room, and other interesting and historic features of the building. From the Capi- tol we walked a short distance to the United States Supreme Court building. The evening we had to ourselves. Some went to Glen Echo Amusement Park, others to the movies, and a few went touring the city at night. Friday : After breakfast we left Washington ' s Union Station and arrived in New York at 1:20. There we were assigned rooms at the Taft Hotel on Seventh Avenue, near Times Square. After getting settled, we attended Radio City Music Hall for a three-hour matinee. Dinner was served at the Down-Under Restaurant in Radio City and then we took a guide-conducted tour of the National Broadcasting Company radio and television studios. Following this we went to the roof of the R. C. A. building, seventy-seven stories above the street, where we viewed the city at night. The rest of the night was free, and everyone went his own way. Saturday: The morning was left open for shopping trips in the city stores, a tour of the Empire State Building or just sleeping late. Following lunch, we had a guide-conducted motor coach tour of downtown Manhattan, Wall Street, Greenwich Village, Fulton Fish Market, the Bowery, and Chinatown. In the latter two, we saw poor living quarters, men wandering at leisure or sleeping on the sidewalks, no grass or trees, stores and restaurants dirty and foul smelling, garbage littered streets, few women and children. Everyone eagerly boarded the bus, and we pi ' oceeded to Grand Central Station. The train left Grand Central at five and arrived in Northampton at nine. Although tired and exhausted, the class agreed the trip was well worth while. i f i C f r r t- r  V VV VV -VV , VVVVV V 5rS VVV V SV Compliments of WADE ' S Compliments of Hamburgers — Hot Dogs PALL-MEL Ice Cream WEST HATFIELD Whately, Mass.
