Mount Vernon

On Saturday the whole class pill
ed into two buses and went to visit
Mount Vernon. This was tthe most
interesting of all the places we
visited with the exception of the
Department of Justice. 1t seems
incredible that the things we saw
there could have been preserved so
wonderfully for more than two
hundred years. The mansion itself
was beautiful being that of a typi-
cal southern plantation with its
huge white pillars but the grounds
were even lovelier for they We're
planned by Washington himself
and were surrounded by thousands
of dollars worth of lockwood. The
smaller gardens near the house
We're planted with honeysuckle and
roses and the larger gardens which
were lined with paths which wound
down toward the Potomac were
planted with shrubs and some of
them were practically woods. On
the shore there was a pavilion and
lovely little rustic benches. In the
mansion itself we saw private
rooms of George and Martha
Washington and Lafayette. These
contained colonial furniture such
as the very beautiful four-poster
beds and the very tall chests which
contain about six or eight draw
ers. We also visited the living,
sewing, dining rooms and kitchens
of the home. They were all very
beautifully furnished but personal
ly would rather live in a modest
ly furnished home and have all of
the modern conveniences. After
we left the mansion we visited the
tomb of Washington. This was of
red brick and it was covered with
ivy. This tour was very educa-
tional and we learned very much
about the manner of liv-
ing in Washington's time but 1 still
prefer to live in this era.

The Lincoln Memorial

One of the most fascinating
things I saw in Washington was
the Lincoln Memorial. This is in
the form of a Temple designed by
Henry Bacon, of New York. The
foundation of this great monument
to Lincoln supports thirty-six ruge
pillars which represent the number
of states in the Union when Lin
coin died. Above these pillars
there is a wall on which is inscrib-
ed the seals of the forty-eight
states, Delaware's being the first.
The Memorial consists of Lin
coins statue with his Gettysburg
address engraved on one side wall
and his second Inaugural Speech
engraved on the other. There are
no other monuments in this Mem
orial hewever, the statue of Lincoln
was so immense that it seemed to
fill the interior of the memorial.
The statue was true to the char
acter of Lincoln, which was that
of a master leading his people.
The hugeness of the memorial
made me speechless. When 1 look
ed up at Lincoln's great image, 1
could feel his presence and it gave
me the inspiration to carry on.
I also saw the Lincoln Memorial
at night. It seemed more impos-
ing then than in the daytime. The
ceiling was so constructed that it
threw beams Of light over the sta
tue of Lincoln. The beauty of the
statue in the light of these beams
could not be surpassed.
AS was leaving the Memorial,
I saw the Rejecting Basin which
was between the memorial and the
Washington Monument. This was
very imposing and made a suitable
foreground for the Memorial.

eighty-six million dollars, Ameri-
can motorists were discovering, as
never before, the truth of the
statement that gasoline is cheap,
only the tax is high" according to
the Sun Oil Company's District
Branch Manager, Mr.. R. Wier, Jr.
If motorists would realize how
much they are being taxed every
time they buy gasoline" he says,
1T would not be long before they
would unite in such a vigorous pro-
test that something would and
could be done about this situation.
However, many motorists forget
the three, four, five and six cents
a gallon they pay in tax, and go on
thinking that the oil companies
are making handsome profit on
gasoline. If the real truth were
known, gasoline was never as
cheap as it is today. One economy
after another has been made in the
production of gasoline, only to
have the savings wiped off by in
creasing taxation. These econom-
les do not mean that gasoline
quality has been reduced. Instead,
gasoline has consistently gone up
in qaulity. For instance, take Blue
Sunoco. Ten years ago, when it
was first introduced, we merely
advertised it as the first truly
knockless gasoline to sell at regu-
lar gas price. The motor fuel re-
quirements of modern engines have
increased tremendously since then,
but very time Blue Sunoco has
been improved in advance of the
new engine developments. For in
stance, today's Blue Sunoco not
only delivers high knockless pow
er, but also supplies truly high
test action for today's high COM
preston, high speed, motors. 1t
is clean burning, pure, lively, quiet,
but it still sells at regular gas
price and today's regular gas price,
exclusive of the tax, is several
cents lower than it was in 1927
when Blue Sunoco was first intro
duced."

a Visit to the Franciscan Mon
astery and the Shrine of the
Immaculate Convention

The Franciscan Monastery was
erected in 1899 and is in charge of
the Franciscan Friars. This mon
astery is known as the Commits
siarate of the Holy Land for the
United States, which has for it's
object the preservation and main
tenance of the Holy Shrine of Pal
estine, Egypt, Syria and Cyprus,
and the education of missionaries.
The Friars act as guides and take
people through free of charge, ex-
planning the plan of the church and
altars.
The church Is of Byzantine arch
itecture influenced by Franciscan
simplicity.
In the church are reproductions
of many Sacred Shrines of the
Hody Land and the Catacombs.
Some of the shrines and chapels
are: Chapel of st. Joseph, the Holy
Sepulchre, Stone of Amounting.

Catacomb Chapel, the Grotto of
Bethlehem, and the Gethsemane
Valley which was beautiful gar
den that was outside of the church
and had many shrines. These are
just few of the many shrines and
chapels. Each one had a special
meaning and reason for being
built.
The Catacombs were reproduc-
tions of the ancient Catacombs in
Rome. In here are reproductions
of inches where the dead We're
buried and tiny chapels were found
erected to the dead and Purgatory.
The Shrine of the Immaculate
Conception is just very short dis
tance from the Monastery and is
on the grounds of the Catholic
University. The shrine is expected
to take about twenty-five more
years to be built. Only the cyrpt
of the shrine has been finished In
the crypt is q miniature of the
shrine as it will be. Money is re-
ceived by subscription.
Pillars are named by different
countries which have contributed
by placing pillar for the Crypt.
The affairs are beautiful, especially
the main altar and the altar of the
Marys, the latter having been
erectd by women having the name
of Mary. Wonderful Mosaic pic
lures were around the chapel
These pictures were of tiny colored
stones put together and from a
distance they looked like paintings
Neither the shrine nor the mon
astery can be adequately describ-
ed. The visitor to Washington
should certainly include both in his
trip to our capital.

Wherever you find this years |
Seniors, you find unusual and silly
incidents. We, dignified? Pass
judgment on us after you read
this.
The bed in room 6O5 wasn't built |
to stand more than two people at |
once-it collapsed. A certain red |
haired Senior in a flannel night
gown had to go after someone to
fix it.
Our boys, especially one of them,
are now noted for their generosity.
He gave the taxi driver a dollar
bill, and nonchalantly said Keep
the change" He found later, to
his chagrin, that the fare was not
eighty cents as he had expected, |
but forty cents.
We knew one of our boys had |
big feet, but we didn't realize they
were so big It'll he borrowed four
wastebaskets to hold the cot up.
No one, especially a Senior, likes
a snoring person. One boy in
room 314 snored; so what did the
other boys do but pour a glass of
water down his throat. Try it
sometime.
I would like to see the pictures
that a certain curly-headed girl
took with her movie camera.
Guides will have their jokes. On
the way to Mt. Vernon, as we pass
ed the Arlington radio station, our
guide told us to put our hands on
the windows and we could feel a
tingling electricity in
the air. After we passed the sta
ton, he calmly said, do you feel
the pane ?"
OF course no trip is complete
someone's getting lost.
One of our boys enjoyed the Arts
and Science Building very much.
He became separated from us and
we went on, not realizing he was
missing He wore out several
taxis looking for US, but finally we
met at the hotel.
These are only a few of our ex-
periences but, now, do you thinR
we're dignified?

THE CATS COME THROUGH

Back in September we predict
ed that the BearcatS would be a
ball team before the end of the
season. Later, after the Cats had
been kicked around in two games,
we still predicted that they would
turn into a football team. Yester-
day we had the pleasure of seeing
at least one of this seasons pre-
dictionS come true.
Because the Cats we're really
football team yesterday. True,
they lost the ball game, but only
by the margin of one point, and
against team recognized as one
of the best high school outfits in
this neck Of the woods.
The Canton characters didn't
exactly come to town Dragging
about what they would do, but ii
was really amusing to see the ex-
preston on their collective faces
as the game finally ran out and
the Bears never seemed to get
going.
The Black Bears are good
team also. They are big, tough
and have been taught by one OF
the best football teachers in Yves
tern North Carolina. But-the
Black Bears never seemed to get
going because a lighter Bearcat
line was Outcharging them all at
ternoon.
Our Scribe Brother, who came
over to report for the Canton En-
terpriSe. was frankly amazed. He
reported during the half that the
Cats were the best the Bears had
yet tangled with. In effect, he
said that the Bears were not suf-
/ fering an off day, but were play
ing the same kind of ball they had
been winning with all season.
All the same, the Black Bruins
were pretty glad to get back to
Haywood county with One-point
win. Fhey--weve q good ball team,
or they would have gone back on
the short end of the score.
Both teams put up great goa

years.
Four teams strong. the Bears
came to HenderSOnville highly
favored, but caked out win
only by a valiant goal line stand
in the fourth quarter.
In the first quarter the Bear
cats served notice that they in
tended TO be very tough, and that
the Bears would win only by four
quarters of good football. In the
fourth quarter the visitors show
cd that they were really a great
defensive team by stopping the
Cats on the two-yard line. And
that's the story of the entire ball
game.
The Cats received the opening

play, recovering Il tumble on

AndcrS brought the crowd up
roaring by taking a pass from Hill

were offSidc and the quarter was
over a few minutes later.
The Bears scored their lone
touchdown in the second. Sans
punted out on HcnderSonvlllc'S
2-yard line. AndcrS booted back
and the visitors got up to the ten
ward line. The Cats got their bad
break of the day at this point.
Anders' punt went high, was
caught by the wind, and came
down exactly where it started
on the 9-yard line. Schenck and
Flynn conSpireG for Z yards and
then Schenck went over for the
score. He repeated for the extra
point.
But the Cats were still tough.
They kicked off to start the sec

plays got nothing and what look

line broke through to black Sans

Anders took a short pass, later

Anders picked up s yards on two
plays and then Mobley ran his
own left end for a first down on

to toss Anders for a 6-yard loss,

the yardage back. There was Il
