SE NKJR T R I P ' on April 19, Saturday, the senior class of '52' with a few exceptions embarked on our journey to a new world for eight days. At 5:30 in the morning the girls werenft sure they had everything, to be frank, they weren1t sure they had anything. All were eager to start. We pulled into Pittsburgh in early evening and went to our hotel, The Pittsburgher. Our first free night. Then We thought of the things we forgot. Sunday morning, after the boys had driven the bell-hops and the telephone operator to distraction, we embarked once again in our streamlined four wheeled home. We waved good-bye to shining Pittsburgh and set wheels to Washington. We had a very good way to travel which was on the Pennsylavnia Turnpike. We saw also the Turseara Mountains, after which a few got air sicki We arrived in Washington in time to attend evening ser- vices at the Cathedral of Washington. Early Monday morning we took.off in a sight seeing bus to see all of Washington that we could. There were few historical mumnmmausand buildings that we missed. The beds were a welcome signt that evening. After breakfast Tuesday morning we crawled into our buses to head for New York. We stopped off at Philadelphia, and then reached our hotel, in New York, in time to get ready to go out again or get ready to go to bed. A few of us found out it made us just as tired to ride a bus all day as walking all over Washington, ' Our fifth day, Wednesday, oh glory, they alnost lot us get some sleep. There we went around Manhatten Isle to see the Statue of Liberty. It really was wonderful. That afternoon was free for shopping, shows, or sleeping. Oh our aching high- heelsl That evening we all went to various stage shows. HSouth Pacificn and nGuys and DollsYn No sleep that night, either. Thursday morning, everybody got up bright? and early. Where did those boys find all that vim and vitality????? It seemed as though each morning was earlier then the last. Big day, we saw all those men! Westpoint, avast! Could there have possibly been anything more to have seen? No, we didn't miss a thing. We were told to act like angels, and,of course, we did?????

Another free evening was ahead of us. We were over-joyed, and a few went to bed early. The other few went out te see what mischief they could scare up. The rest just seemed to go around in a daze. Early Friday morning we started for Pittsburgh on our re- turn trip. Joy, joy, we were so glad to see shining Pittsburgh again. Several of us didn't even see it. Did a bed ever feel so good? Those boys were still going strong. When did they get their sleep? We, poor girls weren't made of iron like them Sweetser, here we come. After they drug us out or bed Saturday morning, we got into our chariot and wended our way West. The singing wasn't quite as good now, but just as loud. The town of Sweetsor saw our shining, bright, intelligent faces late Saturday afternoon. Mbnday'morning the underolassmen told us how much they had missed us, how glad they were to see us again, how glad they were that we had had a nice trip, how nice we looked.with our New York airs, and how they hoped we wouldn't leave them again. The poor, simple, nieve, little darlings. What will they do without us next year? They probably won't. They'll never be the same!!!
