climbed to the top by the many
fights of steps while others pre-
ferred the elevator.
Next stop for the bus was
lunch and afterward came a visit
to the F.B.I. Here our club was
divided into groups and led through
the building on tour of all the lab
oratories of the FBI One inter-
esting stop was in the demonstra~
tion room where we saw an F.B.L
expert fire magnum revolver and
tommy gun.
Then we visited the Tomb of the
Unknown Soldier at Arlington and
were just in time for the changing
of the guards.
The White House was next and
we toured its many rooms. Among
them the Red Room and the Blue
Room.
Last, we visited the Franciscan
Monestary and visited the many
shrines in the huge Catholic
Church, each shrine more beauti-
full than the one before.
The club arrived back in Har-
rington at $3.50 p. M, and all agree
they had a wonderful time.
Junior Art Club:
Twenty-six junior high art stu
dents and guest boarded the bus
at a. m. last Friday on tour to
Washington, d. G.
The bus ride was. uneventful. We
sang and made lot of noise talk
ing back and forth.
Pennsylvania Avenue is always
exciting, especially, when in sight
of the Capitol. White Hause, and
Washington Monument
New corners eagerly ran up to
the top of the Monument, but the
seasoned students took the eleva-
tor. We puffed our way back to the
bus.
After lunch we hurried to Arl-
ington Cemetery to see the chang
ing of the guards at the tomb of
the Unknown Soldier.
Best of all was the guided tour
through the F.B.I. building. Here
we learned about the futility of
breaking the law. The F.B.L al
ways get their man sooner or later.
The Smithsonian Institute was
fun. We roamed through several
buildings. Old model airplanes fas-
cinated the boys, and the girls
seemed to linger at the wax figures
of presidents wives cycling the
fashion and headress of days gone
by.
The Franciscan Monastery was
our last visit. Within the church
are reproduced a number of the
Sacred Shrines of the Holy Land.
Outstanding were the Catacombs
which gave us some idea of those
in Rome. We saw many more
shrines and we'll known grottos
that are reproduced in and sur
rounding the Monastery.
