Washington Trip. fcontinueclj Chase Me Awhile!H After tiring of this game we went to bed. An hour later We arose, awoke the others, and had breakfast. Then we toured the Capitol fnotice the girls rubbing the man,s head on the door? No old maids among tlieml. Next the Corcoran Ccrackerj Art Gallery, the Red Cross Buildings, the Pan-American Union CApplestein tried to make the parrot swear in Spanishl, and lastly the VVhite House. No, we didn't see the President. He heard of our coming and beat it. After lunch at 1:30 we went shopping and shoplifting for souvenirs, and finally packed up to go. VVe noticed a sign on the door- Stop! Did you leave anything? Several mumbled, Not much. VVe rode to the station, boarded the train, and bid adieu to Washington. On the train home! The married fellows sat with their wives, but a few divorcees and bachelors held a side-show in the baggage car. Somehow Levin lost his trousers after being initiated into the Watersoaked Club. Raisins and banana skins, passed out by Ozzie furnished ammunition for a friendly battle between groups of boys andweA-mazons. Much rehned amusement was furnished by throw- ing water on those attempting to sing. The train stopped! Where? Somewhere between Baltimore and Philadelphia! We got out of the cars and held down the tracks for about 45 minutes while the broken cylinder was being removed. Finally, Trenton Makes-The World Takes greeted us and we arrived in Trenton at 9:59. Once out of the station we spread to the four corners of the city for a much needed rest. 5 Z 2 f I v we My fr' 'af ar 1' as wi MU i V V , :Q 3 ic, W, 1 ' K: gg Z 'ff 'lm . ffl ' ' 5-Y--F' 1- ,.., - 4 -- f,-2 ,,QQ,.Qilf f.

Washington Trip By GEORGE MCLAUGH LIN cg N Thursday, May 11, 1922, we, the Seniors, assembled at the P. R. R. station. ,mlm Skullcaps, skimmers and tweeds predominated. Our picture was taken at fiffhff 7:45 A. M.-probably for identification. At 8:00 a torrent, sweeping all barriers aside, boarded the train. At 8:26 the train crawled out of the station. After crossing the Delaware the first place of interest was Morrisville. Next in order came Philadelphia, somebody's mansion, Chester, Wilmington, and the Mason-Dixon Line. VVayman declares he saw clothes hanging on it. We passed Elkton without losing any newly acquainted couples, and finally, at 1:00 P. M. dis- embarked in VVashington. VVe went to the Capitol and visited the Senate and the House. After hearing a discussion on the tariff, our picture was taken on the steps of the Capitol. From there we took a three-hour sight-seeing trip to Rock Creek Park, Zoological Gardens fstayed there an extra ten minutes because Neubeck and Seibel became mixed up with the monkeysj, Arlington Cemetery, and finally, at 5:00 arrived at the Metro- politan Hotel. After a little red tape we received a key and a meal ticket. Many threw their keys away, but not the ticket. In our rooms we removed several layers of several states and then went to dinner. In the evening we wandered down to the Congressional Library, and many wandered right out again. At 10:00 we, except Reilly, who was interested in a book on some nology , left for the hotel. At 11:30 a sociology class left the hotel for a survey of Chinese restaurants. Others remained awake and kept others awake by songs, water, pillow fights, peanut fights, etc., etc. The house detectives sang such songs as, Shut Up or 1,11 Put You Out,', Pack Up Your Troubles,', You May Be Gone for a Long, Long Time! The roomers answered with Hail, Hail, the Gang's All Here, How Can We Leave Thee,,' and went to sleep. A Fifteen minutes later we got up. Our first stop was the Fish Commission, next, the Bureau of Printing and Engraving fno samplesl, and then took a hike up VVashington Monument. Clothes were shed at every hundred feet flucky it was only 550 feet highb. After the hike we took another hike through the museums. The girls were particularly interested in the old fiapper styles and jewels, the boys, in mineralogy. Luncheon Cdon't forget we needed itj at hotel 1:00 o'clock, on board steamer Charlie Macalaster at 2:15, sailed at 2:30, and arrived at Mt. Vernon at 3:40. After an interesting exploration of Mt. Vernon, we returned to the boat and steamed homeward, or rather hotelward. Cn deck we gave some cheers, sang songs, and watched the vaudeville acts performed by our professionals. Seibel as the Oriental Dancer proved most interesting. After arriving at the hotel we spruced up for a free evening. Some went to opera-comic, others of more common taste, to vaudeville. The acts were wonderful-several having fallen asleep during the show. After the rest we went back to the hotel and played with the house detectives You 17
