Gaithersburg Faculty
Members Back From Trip

Viewing the Sunrise" from
the heights of Pixies Peak in
Colorado, while gazing on the
clouds below, was only one of
the many thrilling and exciting
experiences of Miss Edith Bar
nett, Mrs. Charles B. Nicol and
Miss Effie Ternent, members of
the Gaithersburg High School fac
ulty, who returned to their re-
spective home Sunday after an
educational tour of six weeks
through tht West. Sponsored by
the Pennsylvania University in
connection with the "All Ameri-
can Tours" which started out
from Lexington, Kentucky, on
July II, this "Motor Camp Tour"
covered a distance of 5000 miles
and included in its trip not only
the Worlds Fair at San Fran
cisco but the Colorado Rockies,
the Painted Desert, Petrified For
est in Arizona, Grand Canyon,
Boulder Dam, Los Angeles, Yo-
semitic National Park, Giant Red
woods, Salt Lake City, Cody Road,
Santa Fe, Black Hills, South Da-
kota, Chicago and other inter-
esting points. Their first stop in
st. Louis, Mo-, included a sight
seeing trip of the city where they
saw the Old Slave Market, IA
nous Shaw Gardens, Forest Park
Zoo, the Lindbergh Home, etc.
With the nephew of Reed
Smoot, senator, as guide, an en-
tire day was spent in Salt Lake
City, visiting the old house of
Brigham Young and his wives,
the famous Mormon Tabernacle,
where a concert on the worlds
finest organ was heard in addi-
ton the enjoyment of swim in
the Great Salt Lake, where it is
impossible to sink.
Mt. Rusnmore IN the Black
Hills of South Dakota, proved
another most interesting point,
this being the place where Bor-
glum, the sculptor is carving in
the granite wall more than 1000
feet high, the figures of Wash
ington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and
Theodore Roosevelt, which stand
out in bold relief and can be
seen for miles around, the figures
themselves having height of ass
feet. Altogether, it was a tour
never to be forgotten, according
to the returned travellers, and
one that must be experienced in
order to appreciate the wealth of
knowledge to be derived there
from.
