Oh, what week it was! For

i Vii, what a week IL was. Fol
the seniors, at least.
1t began Tuesday morning
wien twenty wide-awakc SEN
Tors and their two chapcrones
greeted the dawn with lively
song as they happily rolled over
the highway toward Washington
md the Cherry Blossom Festi-
val and a week they will re-
member for many years to come
AS the day wore on, song lag
sd but spirits remained high,
And then, as Washington's Ma
sonic Temple came into view,
Shelby Cartrettc, Seth Hinson,
Elaine Leonard. Pearlic Bar
field and Bea Canady gave a
loud cheer and we were off on
our round of sightseeing. Be-
fore bedtime we had visited the
Lincoln Memorial The Jcffer-
son Memorial, Union Station
and the Congressional Library.
Wednesday was busy day
for the seniors. Rising early, we
toured Arlington Cemetery.
Hilda White, Rcba Cribb, Earl
Duncan. Frances Cartrette and
Jimmy Shelley were especially
impressed by the changing of
the guards at the Tomb of the
Unknown Soldier. To make the
day more complete, such places
as Mount Vernon, Washington
National Airport, the Aquarium
and the Civil Service Bureau
were visited. And how can we
forget climbing the 1913 steps
that lead to the top of Washing
ton Monu ment? Certainly not
Rctha Crib, Doris Barnhill, and
Douglas GaSkinSi But tired
though we were, we were quite
ready to view the great, To-
mIlc-long Cherry Blossom par

thursday morning we made a
good start by visiting before
breakfast the Federal Bureau of
Engraving and Printing. Then
wc toured the beautiful Bctani-
cal Gardens. q. the Franciscan
Monastery, and the Capitol
building. Thursday afternoon
was strictly for pleasure as we
saw "CinCrama Holiday" which
our chapCroncs. Mr.. f. V. Sas-
ser and Miss Eunicc Ward.
especially enjoyed. In the eve
ming we went on a moonlight
cruise down the Potomac Rives
out to the Marshall Hall Amuse-
ment Park. Henry Strickland,
Bca Canady, Jack Butler. and
Betty Ward really got a bang
out of dancing to the music of
a live band in the moonlight.
Friday was a busy day too.
We saw such places as the White
House. the National Museum of
Natural History, the Mellon Art
Gallery. the Air Force Medical
MuScau. the Smithsonian Insti-
.tute. the Ford Theatre and the
Peterson homo.
Saturday, with backward looks
the city of Washington was left
behind. But the sights of the
great city were soon in the back
OF our minds as we wondered
through The lovely Caverns of
.uray in Virginia and observed
he beautiful scenery along the
Skyline Drive. Paul Merritt
Marjorie Cartrette, Tommy Nor

to enjoy this most of all.

four years it has been held in
Washington and the Presidents
from Alexandria have yet to be

CIV retained its margin to

half-length. GNU faded to
another five lengths back.
GW's time for the mile was

home in 5:17.4 and GNU in
5:37.1. 1t was the fourth time

The Yale coach, Jim Rath-

Want Tip on EquoIizing
Heat in Radiators?

Perhaps one or all of them will
have to be employed.
The location of the thermo-
stat should be considered first.
If it can be relocated to more
central point in the house it
will have the effect of making
the oil burner run longer so that
steam has time to reach all rad
iators. Consideration, though,
must be given to the possibility
that the room nearest the fur
mace may become too warm.
The use of air vent valves bet
ter suited for the purpose than
the ones now on the system is
practically certain to give the
desired results. The one ad-
Unstable port valve that you
installed has no value unless
similar valves are also installed
on all other radiators. Ny recon-
mendation is that this be done.
Then you will be able to control
the escape of the trapped air
in the system and make all radi-
Iators heat simultaneously. The
port on the valve nearest the
furnace is closed to the smallest
opening. The one in the mother
in-law's room is opened wide. All
other valves are set at some mid
point depending upon their
distance from the furnace.
Also. investigate that valve
at the end of the large steam
pipe in the cellar. If it has been

How can I stop this condition."
10. B. asks.
Answer-The drains from both
lavatories are connected to the
same line. There is q partial
Istoppage in this line that causes
the water to back up. If you
want to clear this yourself, rent
a long plumbers snake" from
a hardware store. Remove the
trap from beneath your Iavatory
and run the snake" far enough
into the pipe that projects from
