Describes The
Senior Trip
CONTINUED from FIRST Page,

and then on to New York by train.
Arriving in New York about p.
m. we went to the Hotel Plymouth.
Then began an afternoon of fun
for all. First all went to Horn and
Hardharts for lunch. Then came
a tour through Rockefeller Center
which proved to be of interest to
all. After making a tour of all the
other parts of the building and
having our guide point out the
many things of interest, we went
to the Museum of Science and In
dustry. Here the mysteries of the
scientific world were opened to us.
About 6 p. m. all of us met at the
very top of this immense building.
From here we had wonderful view
of the city. Two very interesting
things which we. saw from here
were the Empire State Building
and the Normandie which was in
the harbor. After seeing the city
from the top of the world and buy
ing souvenirs, we returned to the
hotel to freshen up for dinner. At
ter dinner we went to the Radio
City Music Hall where we saw
"Tortilla Flat" We also saw a
grand vaudeville show here star
ring the Rockettes and the Glee
Club. Not being satisfied with this
much fun, we went to CHS to see
and hear a Observation-Disclosures
Diary" After the broadcast, we
stopped at drug store for re-
freshments. About 1880 a. m, we
decided to call it a day and turned
our weary feet toward the hotel
At s a. M, the next morning, all
hands were on deck for another
exciting day. After eating break
fast at Horn and Hardharts, we left
on a tour of the city by bus. We
saw such things of interest as
Grants Tomb, the Normandie and
Queen Elizabeth, Central Park, and
the many large homes of wealthy
people. Probably most interesting
of our tour was our visit to China
town. Here we went into a build
ing and were shown where a large
gfoup of opium eaters used to con-
gregate. Under Chinese influence,
we went to Chin Lees for lunch,
Then all enjoyed free afternoon.
Some went shopping at Macys,
Sak's, Gimbeps, etc. Others went
to see Jimmy Dorsey or some other
prominent orchestra. At Z p. m.
that evening, we ate dinner at Car
uso's, an italian restaurant. Our
next stop was the Long Acre Thea
tire, where we saw a Broadway
play entitled, "All the Comforts of
Home" After the play, some went
to hear Kate Smiths broadcast,
others heard the Philip Morris pro-
gram starring Martha Scott and
Jim Ameche in Bachelor Mother"
and still others went to the Hotel
Pennsylvania where they enjoyed
an evening of dancing at the Cafe
Rouge. This ended another delight
full day.
Again at a. m, Saturday. we
had breakfast. Then came a tour
through NBC, where. we saw how
the different sound effects were
made, had the thrill of having our
selves televised, and had the pleas
ure of seeing some of the studios
from which outstanding programs
are presented. From here we went
to a ferry which took us to the
Statue of Liberty. After climbing
up and down 152 feet, we were
ready to leave. After getting off the
ferry, we took a subway back to our
hotel, where we picked up our
bags and left for the Pennsylvania
Station. Here we had light lunch.
About 2:30 p. n., we said goodbye
to New York and looked toward
Delaware. The bus arrived in Mil
ford about 7:45 p. m. with tired
but very thrilled and happy group
of seniors with their cherished
memories of New York. Although
we had a wonderful time in New
York, all were glad to get home
again where they could rest their
tired feet.
