Senior Trip to Washin ton pace broken only by stops for fuel and snacks until we entered Washington just as the dawn of Saturday morning was beginning to break. Did you want to visit Washington during the Easter holi- days? We certainly did, and so it happened that sixteen Seniors, all anxious to see the historical shrines in our national capital, seated themselves comfortably in the three automobiles driven by faculty members and anxiously awaited the start of the four hundred mile journey from Kanty to Washington. From the time of departure, two o'clock in the afternoon of Friday, March 3ISI, our drivers- Reverend Casimir Szymanski and Professors Edwin Dombrowski and Florian Yezerski-kept a This year's excursion fthe senior trip to Washington is a tradition at Kantyj was slightly less formal than those T A f S , . of previous years in that the Seniors were allowed to do what they wanted after visiting the points of interest on the agenda together with the members of the faculty. Accordingly, we broke up into several groups, each Senior desirous of seeing the place that interested him the most before visiting any other. The most popular attraction proved to be the Washington Monument, and some Seniors, entranced by its simple beauty, paid three or four visits to the memorial. The Capitol and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington, Virginia, also impressed us a great deal. Among the numerous other places visited were the Smith- sonian Institution, Franciscan Monastery, famous for its replica of the ancient Roman catacombs, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, in the Department of Iustice Building, the Lincoln Memorial and the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. On Monday afternoon, the three-car caravan broke up, with five Seniors returning to Kanty via Dillonvale, Ohio, with Reverend Szymanski. With Coach Yezerski arriving at Kanty Wednesday morning and Professor Dom- browski coming in Friday morning with four Seniors, after a one-day stay in New York City, our Washington trip was at an end.
