, Y --we THE SENIOR TRIP TO NEW YORK At this time of the year every Senior has two main thoughts in his mind. The serious thought of graduation and the happy thought of spending three days in New York with the rest of his class on the yearly Senior Trip. We are leaving West Winfield at 11:00 A.M. on June 28, and intend to arrive at Hotel Plc- cadilly about 6:00 P.M. and have dinner in the Hotel dining room. Later that evening we will take the combined National Broadcasting Company Studio and Television Tour. This tour will take approximatly one and one half hours and will be conducted by trained guides. It will include visits to points of interest in the development and a description of all art work, architectural features, and the history of our project. We expect to find the television Studio very interesting for this is such a modern invention. The upper floor of the seventy story RCA Building will be our next aim. This story, 850 feet above the street is a promenade 200 feet long and 20 feet wide. We are anxious to see how it feels seventy stories up. At the end of the tour we will stop at the Radio City Music Hall for a movie and the HRockettes.H If time permits before retiring, we hope to see the Bright Lights of Broadway. The following morning we will board the yacht Marilda at West 42nd St. and Hudson River. On this boat trip we will see Ellis Island Immigration Station, Statue of Liberty, Battery Park, Queensborough Bridge, Tri-borough Bridge, and the Navy Yard and see the cruisers and Battleships anchored and the New York Skyline. The afternoon and evening will be spent at the New York World's Fa1r.Perhaps later that evening we will visit floor 102, of the Empire State Building, 1250 feet above the ground. Friday morning we are allowed to do any individual sight-seeing or shopping that we wish. In the afternoon we will start for home, tired but happy andqfull of the wonders of New York. --Betty Jane Watkins -x 149 S if f-7 fy 5 w QM A Sw
