CSENTU 1 --.M H LASSL... ff! I LM' - -fxa AUEZQ5' .-.4 . '- -1 - - -J'-31-' Stonington at 4:30 A. M. Sunday, April 23, and Stonington at 9:30 P. M. Sunday, April 30--and between those hours eight wonderful days in Washington, D. C., and New York City, and Boston. Our trip proved to be even better and more enjoyable than our fondest dreams. Sunday dawned fair and bright and we were grateful for a nice morning to start our journey. Everett Billings and Wendall Davis rounded upv the group, consisting of Betty Cross, Erlene Pray, Letha Barbour, Helen Steele, Dick Nash, Herbert Spencer, Donald Cripps, Raymond Buckminster, and Miss Morey as chaperone. NVe were in Bangor in plenty of time to secure our train tickets, ride over to see the ruins of the Windsor Hotel, and to be among the first to board the train so that we might all be together in the same coach. At 7:35 A. M. we were on the way to Portland where we arrived at 10:55. Lunches were brought out and did those sandwiches taste good! At 2:15 we arrived in Boston, secured taxis and crossed to the South Station, where at 3 P. M. we left on the 'fPatriot,' for the nation's capital. By this time it was rain- ing lightly, but since we would be on the train all day, it failed to dampen our spirits. At 6:00 P.

At long last the call came Next stop is NVashington-WVash- ington nextf, We weren't sorry to hear that. At 11:45 P. M. we arrived at Union Station. Oh, maybe our hats werenit on quite such a perky angle, and maybe we had hard work to prevent yawning, but we tried to look like seasoned travelers as we walked across the square to Hotel Stratford. We registered as speedily as possible, found that our rooms were all on the same floor, bade one another a sleepy Goodnight-see you at 6:30, and we were off to bed. The next morning we had breakfast at 7:15 at Child's Restaurant. Our first point of inter- est was the Bureau of Printing and Engrav- ing. We watched the printers and their assist- ants as they printed sheets of paper currency, watched the ladies who so competently ex- amined the bills for defects, we saw the sheets being counted and then wheeled away. Stamps and bonds are also printed there. Next we went to the handsome Congres- sional Library. It is instinctive for visitors to stop on the wide marble stairway and glance about at the dignified beauty of the building. After taking a peep at the original Declaration of Independence, at the Con- stitution and Bill of Rights, at a rough draft of Lincolnis Gettysburg Address, and many other historical documents, we saw a display of early pictures of Washington now being assembled in honor of the cityis Sesquicenten- nial celebration. The U. S. Supreme Court was our next stop. This beautiful building, completed
