Woo SEN CLA-1929 On to Washington G:miO START the trip off right the arrival of the boat for Wilmington found the class voicing inquiries concerning a member who was conspicuous because of his absence. Miss Scholl counted noses again thinking perhaps she had overlooked his curly top and Mr. Quimby hurriedly explored every possible nook and corner think- ing probably that he had been mislead-but the search was of no avail. We boarded the boat eagerly and the moment was fast approaching when we were to leave-l- when lol and behold! what did we see but a frantic figure dashing madly up the gangplank. Two minutes to go and our number was complete. Lamont Cassaday had over-slept on the most important of mornings, but had managed to arrive in the nick of time. . On board the train at last, everyone looked around in an expectant attitude fully ready for adventure as soon as it should rear its head--but adventure, .it seemed was sleeping. Since we had not expected to arrive in Washington until past noon, a luncheon had been packed to satisfy our young appetites. Jimmie,Wentzell solemnly handed Dinky Van Meter a sandwich in which the boiled ham had been replaced by a piece which looked as tempting, but which was not so edible since it was made of rubber. Dinky bit into it ravenously, to the amusement of many interested spectators who were ready and waiting to give him the merry ha-ha. But the tables were turned. The victim ate on and in evident enjoyment finished the sandwich, then called for another. The joke was on Jimmie and his colleagues, who still maintain that there was something wrong in Denmark. The arrival in Washington was followed by a sight-seeing trip by bus. Bill Harris' interest in the buildings and points pointed out by the guide was admirable. So absorbed was he that he lost his cap out of the window three times as a result of extensive rubber-necking. The bus driver was about to explode from exasperation when someone prevented such a calamity by forcibly persuading Bill to change to a position of less vantage. Charlie Demaris made a grave error in the whispering gallery. He forgot that the smallest sound carries a great distance there and Gladys Mickel was not the only recipient of a tender message that he whispered. As luck would have it the elevator in the monument was not in running condition. The entire class feeling ambitious and full of vim started to scale the entire height afoot. It was interesting to follow some of them. On the nineteenth step Lamont Cassaday dozed peacefully. On the twenty-fifth Edna Lacy and Virginia Somers were gazing despai1'ingly at a picture of the monument and breathing heavily: Pauline Justice and Ferol Crispin were going through a program of run five steps, walk five and sit down for breathing space. Joe Demaris had made up his mind that it was easier to climb backwards and not have a vista of a mountain of unclimbed steps before his eyes. Every day was packed to the brim, our heads were stuffed with sense and nonsense and when we boarded the train for home we knew that' Washington- The City of Dreamsn had more than exceeded our expectations.
