WASHINGTON

inals. on record. The first night out
Richard, Charlie, and W. Stanford
went to choir practice, of all places!
At the same time' a dozen varied in
cidents took place. Margaret O. fell
out of the bathtub, I am told. Jean
Wooten glimpsed what was believed
to be a little devil. It turned out
to be “Tinker” in his red pajamas.
The BPPA (Black Petunia Poker As
sociation) was in full swing at all
times except after twelve midnight—
Saturday. (Also a few rummy par
ties.) Harold was disappointed to
find that the “Gaieties” were closed
awaiting a new show. At the Bureau
of Printing and Engraving souvenirs
of seven dollar bills were handed out
to each member of the party, believe
it or not.
On to the roller-coaster, was the
cry Friday night as Glen Echo was
taken by 'storm. Bus drivers, Clar
ence and Mr. Smart, became favorites
of Dot and Eula Mae. Bill J. and
Bill H. came away with the nick
name of “Tubba”, while Margaret O.
and J. E. almost did not come away.
Three guesses why!??!
On Saturday a trip to Mt. Vernon
was in order. The crowd returned
to natural environment of barefoot
boys and girls from North Carolina.
During the day little “Termite”
hooked not one, but FOUR girls.
Please don’t underestimate “Termite.”
The climb to the top of the Wash
ington Monument was most inter
esting. Little Robert Dougherty had
to “rest” about half way up on the
trip.
On Sunday the capital became too
small for Charlie, Richard, Murphy,
Bill, and several others. They re
sorted to Baltimore for a breather.
Harold discovered that his shoes were
among some missing articles. They
turned up in suite 307, occupied by
Judy, Pat, Margaret, Kathryn, and
Jean.
Starting back, we discovered every
one had the brogue. Richard was so
wrapped up in it that he could not
pronounce many words: elevator was
alevator and finally came out lift. In
other words, the elevator operator
wore a lift uniform!!!
On the trip we passed the “Harris”
high school. The joke’s on Tommy.
At Endless Caverns the tall and the
fat had a rough time. In spite of
the fact that the guide forbade any
one to remove the stone formations.
Peeler, Jake, Streetman, and W. Stan
ford have stalactites imbedded in
their heads, while Big Bailey almost
stuck in the small places. He didn’t
become firmly lodged due to the wet
rocks and six people pushing from
behind.
Monday night a tired, but happy,
crowd of kids returned to God’s coun
try. The trip was really wonderful
and everyone enjoyed every minute of
the five days, including three full
daj^s in the city without a cloud in
anybody’s sky.
