NEW ¥ORK TRIP At 11:00 P. M. Easter Sunday, the Seniors were patiently awaiting the Sleeper for the long anticipated trip to the big city. Finally we heard a toot-toot in the distance and everyone bumped through the door carrying little bags and big ba s, followed by boy friends and parents to see us off. (Let's not mention those three unfortunate guys who forgot to jump off the train before it took off!!) Off we were for N. Y. C. Aftera very harassing, sleepless night we reached new York City and Grand Central Terminal about 7:30 .Monday morning. We donned our chapeaux once again and piled off--much in the same manner in which wo had piled on. We were all starved so we deposited our belongings at the Hotel Plymouth and took off for Kellogg's Restaurant. Shortly afterward we headed for Radio City Music Hall, wherewe enjoyed seeing the Easter Stage Show. Early after lunch we had our first subway thrills and spills on a trip to Bronx Zoo. (Incidentally this wasn't our biggesl fall-don't mention Boo or the Seniors will have a hen fight!!) At the zoo we met a lot of fellow apes which really made us homesick for Willsboro. After dinner we went through the Hall of Motion and after that, even though we were exhausted, we visited the Bob Hawk Show only to catch up on some lost sleep! (We didn't catch it, though, so if anyone sees any headin' his way, please return it promptly to the Seniors i) Early (10:30) Tuesday morning we headed for Rockefeller Center for a tour of the City within a city . Our very interesting uide told us many amazing things about the building, development and financial statements of Rockefeller Center and the various buildings. One of the most interesting, is the RCA building about which our guide told us many valuable facts. And then after lunch, we boarded a bus which took us all ovor the city--beginning at our hotel, goin through China Town and down to the water's edge. Here we got tickets for a ferry ride to the statue of Liberty. I will not mention what we did in- the evenings, as it might embarrass us but you can bet we had a good time!
