Saw President, Hostages
KMHS Student's Views
On D. C. Experience
Ed. Not* — Denni* Caveny.
KMSHS aenioT, i* back from a
week attending the annual
Presidential Classroom in
Washington, D.C. The Herald
reprint* today hi* impres
sions of that trip.
By DENNIS CAVENY
Special To The Herald
The excitement began as soon
as I boarded the plane in
Charlotte. The wife of ex
hostage, Richard Belk, from Col
umbia, S.C., was on my flight. 1
was hoping the newly-freed
hostages would come to
Washington the week 1 would be
there and seeing her confirmed
my hopes.
Upon arriving at the
Washington National Airport, 1
was met by a Presidential
Classroom representative and
led to the main lobby where
about fifty students were signing
in. After proceeding to the hotel
we were given our room
assignments. There, I met my
roommates who were from
Arizona, Indiana and Maine.
After talking to them about their
schools and friends, 1 realized
that young people from all over
the country are generally the
same except for regional accents
of which I was frequently kidd
ed. I didn’t even know 1 had one!
As a member of the first class
of 1981,1 was fortunate in many
ways. One was that cameramen
would be filming our activities to
be made into a film to be
distributed to high schools. For
example on Sunday, several of
us went on a tour of religious
centers and the cameramen
followed along filming our reac
tions to the different religious
services. Also, on Sunday we
were allowed three hours to ex
plore the Smithsonian Museums.
Later we visited such attractions
as the Jefferson and Lincoln
Memorials.
On Monday, we attended
several seminars and revisited
the Smithsonian. Also, discus
sion groups were held and
students stated their opinions on
several important issues.
Tuesday wasn’t only an ex
tremely interesting day but
historical as well. After a couple
of seminars and a visit to our
congressman, we were most for
tunate in getting to see the
hostage motorcade which pro
ceeded down Pennsylvania
Avenue. Never in my life have I
seen and felt so much patriotism.
As the buses with the ex
hostages and their families pass
ed, 1 was surprised to recognize
several of them that 1 had seen
on television. That night we
were treated to an extraordinary
fireworks display beside the
Washington Monument. After
DENNIS CAVENY
returning to the hotel, we attend
ed the best seminar of the week.
The Ambassador of New
Zealand, His Excellency
Thomas Francis Gill, spoke
about his country and its rela
tionship to the United States.
This was really a day to
remember.
The next day was filled with
seminars and in the evening we
went to the Hayloft Dinner
Theater in Manassas, Virginia,
where Neil Simon’s “Chapter
Two” was being produced.
Thursday began with a
seminar and another trip to
Capitol Hill. In the evening we
went to the Central Intelligence
Agency where we viewed an ex
cellent slide show presentation
on the CIA’s activities. After
leaving, we went on a beautiful
, night tour of Washington.
On Friday the morning was
filled with seminars, but at noon
our individual groups were free
to go anywhere in the
Washington area. Our group
visited the Washington Monu
ment and from the top we saw
the Presidential helicopter land
on the south lawn of the White
House and the President and
several of his aides boarded. We
later learned he was going on his
first trip to Camp David. Late in
the afternoon the groups met at
Arlington Cemetery for a special
wreath-laying ceremony. In the
evening a banquet and dance
were held at the hotel. After the
graduation ceremony everyone
said their final goodbyes to their
many new friends. This was the
end of a hectic but memorable
week.
One of the most important
things I learned while in
Washington was that 1 personal
ly knew very little about the way
our government is run. All of the
students I met said that in their
schools a government class is re
quired in order to graduate.
Many said their classes are divid
ed into a mock congress and im
portant issues and bills are
discussed. I think a class like this
would be beneficial to our
school, and maybe it would in
crease the student’s knowledge
of how our government works
and how they can effectively
state their opinions and ideas.
I would like to convey my
thanks to the School Board for
allowing me to be one of Kings
Mountain Senior High’s
representatives of Presidential
Classroom. It was a learning ex
perience I’ll never forget.
