She is dis- tinguished by her pleasant voice, which shows the result of careful training. She aspires to become a great artist. EDWARD NEWTON MCLAURY FCEDQD Kortright, New York Basketball '28, '29.

WILLIAM RAYNOR 'GBILLH Stamford, New York Basketball '29, Manager of Basketball Team '29. Baseball '29, Class Plays '28, '29, Bill has laughed his way through high school and into the hearts of all his fellow students. He is a teacher's trial because his humorous ac- tions and speeches cause many disturbances in classes and study hall. Bill, however, prefers a quiet time as has been shown by his conduct on Wash- ington trips. The members of the Junior class of this year have voted to take him to Washington with them next year as their chaperon.

Y xg f nr CAMIQRA OUR WASHINGTON TRIP On Good Friday, April 29, at 6 a. m., the Senior Class of Stamford Seminary left Stamford for their trip to the National Capitol. The day was ideal for traveling, and, after riding a hundred and fifty miles, we stopped for lunch. After lunch we started out again and reached Harrisburg, Pa., at about Hve o'clock. We left Harrisburg Saturday morn- ing en route to Washington. On the way we stopped at Gettysburg. At Gettysburg we hired a guide to direct us around the old battlefield.- One who has never been there, can little realize the vast extent of the place. Monuments are erected to the different divisions of the army. Here also is the place where President Lincoln delivered his Gettysburg address. After we had been all over the battlefield we had lunch and then set out for the Capitol. We arrived there at about 5:30 and then went to the Senate Hotel. In the evening we went to the Congressional Library. This is one of the most beautiful structures in Washington. The next day being Sunday, everyone went to church in the morning. In the afternoon we went to the zoo. Here we spent two or three hours in looking over the animals and birds. In the evening some went to church, while others walked about the city. Monday we started a tour of the city and the surrounding places. The first place to which we went was the United States printing oflice. This proved to be a very interesting place. II
