OUR SENIOR TRIP Not Tuxedo Junction but Grand Central Terminal—that 3 our reward, after finishing our four long years of high school. Tues- day morning, June 24, we will leave Watertown with Mr. and Mrs. Charles Keeler, as chaperones. After hearing our first version of the Manhattan Serenade, we will check in at the Hotel Plymouth. We will take a tour of Manhattan with guides to show us the sights we have read about . We will eat in an automat and rush to the ball game. Onto the subway again, to have dinner before going to the IceFollies. The first day has gone and there is so much more we want to see and do. We'will get up early to see St. John the Divine, St. Patrick Cathedral, Grant's Tomb, and Harlem before going to the LaGuardia Field to watch the planes come and go, while we have lunch. A trip to the museum is scheduled for the afternoon, but we must leave in time to reach the Hayden Planetarium for their afternoon showing. We have seen Times Square in the movies—now we will take in a movie at one of those theaters where a name band is playing in a glamourous setting. That will put us in a mood for a twirl at a night club. On the next day we will board the boat for the Statue of Liberty and then another for Coney Island. Chinatown with its narrow streets find Oriental shops is next on our list. Perhaps we will sample the Chinese food before going uptown again—this time to stroll through the Zoo from the panda's pen to the African Plains. We must get to Radio City for a broadcast, a tour of the building, and the movie at the Music Hall. Higher and higher we climb as we take the elevator to the very top of the Empire State building. Now from the roof we can locate some of the places we have visited. We'll find a for- eign restaurant for lunch and then take in a musical comedy . Madison Square Gardens claims our attention for the evening. Our trip will have finally ended with great success. Tired and happy on our way home we find that on our tour we have gather- ed ideas for our future Albums. COMMENCEMENT
