"To see Washington in the spring
time is to see Washington at its
best" Washington was certainly in
all her glory during the recent Wis
it of the Frankford and MillsbOrC
senior classes. Beautiful spring
weather during our entire stay, did
much to add to the pleasure and
comfort of this o-be-forgotten
visit We also had the good fortune
of having a large, comfortable bus
driven by competent and exper-
fenced chauffeur, who knows Wash
ington and was capable of taking us
quickly and safely to any place of
interest desired. Add to this a well
planned itinerary including every
point of interest from an education
al standpoint, comfortable living
quarters, a congenial and orderly
group of students, a capable guide,
and the assistance and courtesy of
our government officials, one can
readily see that the trip was more
than a mere success.
While the MillsbOro students un-
der the direction of Mr.. Bennett
were working out plans for the trip,
the Frankford seniors, all former
pupils of Mr.. Benefits, proposed
that they go in the same bus with
Millsboro, bear half the transpocta-
ton expenses and thus enable both
schools to make the trip much
cheaper than by going in separate
buses. The plan was accepted by
Millsboro and one of the largest and
most comfortable buses of the Red
Star Line engaged. Prof. Bennett
also had rooms reserved at the Ken
dig House for both schools and in
formed Representative Houston and
Senators Townsend and Hastings OF
the proposed trip.
The bus left Frankfort about six
o'clock Thursday morning, stopped
at Millsboro and then proceeded on
to Claibourne, where connection was
made with the ten o'clock ferry.
The bay was at it's best that bright
spring morning and as one stood on
deck observing the glorious sur
roundings, he could not help quoting
"The years at the spring, the days
at the morn; the hilltops dewy
pearled. Gods in His heaven, alls
well with the world. Bubbling youth
glorious springtime, a beautiful
loving friends, and a clear
conscience; what more could be de-
sired.
After reaching Annapolis, we
spent some time in that old histor1-
cal city, including visit to the Ma
val Academy.
How lovely and enticing was the
between Annapolis and
The charming green
hills, the clear stately forests, and
the magnificent homes, all helped to
make a real panorama of beautiful,
ever changing scenery.
Upon reaching Washington, we
were taken directly to our room1ng
place with which we were greatly
pleased, both because of its conven-
lent location and the hospitality of
it's proprietor. Here we left our bag
gage and proceeded to the office !
buildings, where Principal Bennett |
secured letters of introduction and
tickets admitting us to public build |
ings and other places not open to
visitors. Both Senator Townsend and
Senator Hastings wrote Mr.. Bennett |
letters, while the secretary of Con-
gressman Houston accompanied us |
