Bound for Washington DC

Garland Edgell has once again located a group picture, this one from a senior class trip (or perhaps a DGHS trip) to Washington DC in the spring of 1957. I must admit I have absolutely no memory of this trip, and I wonder if I knew about it at the time, for I most certainly would have been an eager participant.

Garland had the following to say about the trip:

"The Washington trip wasn't exclusively for Seniors I guess because there were some non-seniors on it. It was done on spring break 1957.

Mr. Corr was one of two faculty - the other was a woman. There were only the four boys and a bunch of girls. I think the girls were really disappointed in that.

The group saw the capital, toured the White House, Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, etc. We then took a ship from Baltimore down to Newport News, VA and toured Williamsburg. We ended up in Annapolis on Easter Sunday and attended church there with the midshipmen. I really liked the museum at the Naval Academy.

We took the train both ways and got little sleep. But we were young then.

There were a lot more on the trip than what were shown on my photograph. All girls. So at that dinner, there were probably at least two other tables I think. Wonder if anyone has any of the others."

If any of you have pictures or more info about this trip, let me know; I feel like I really missed out.
