Hap Tims oF THEir Lives. 
HILE their memory lasts, and un- 
der no matter what circumstances 
they ever visit the National Capital 
again the members of the Senior class 
of Story High School, Manchester, will 
never forget the trip made by the 
class the past week. All smiles, they 
alighted from the 10.32 train from 
Boston yesterday morning, a much 
enlightened, happy, but. weary crowd 
of students, freely admitting that they 
had had the time of their young lives. 
The party consisted of 15 students, 
Stanley Beaton, Francis Bohaker, 
Brenda Cook, Clara Corrin, Emily 
Ferreira, Abbott Foster, Catherine 
Gillis, Donald Height, Gladys Hil- 
dreth,. ‘Chester.« Hobbs, Pranks ar)

people from this vicinity were with 
the part: Miss Dora May Marshall, 
Miss Claudia Wilson, Mrs. George S. 
Sinnicks and son, Mark, of Manches- 
ter, and Allyn Brown of Gloucester. 
Commanders-in-chief of the expedi- 
tionary force against Washington were 
Superintendent of Schools and Mrs. 
John C. Mackin. 
The Manchester party left on Fri- 
day afternoon of last week Arriving 
in Boston they crossed to the South - 
Station: where they entrained for Fall 
River. After an uneventful trip. by 
boat from that place they arrived in 
New York and passed the metropolis 
_in the early morning with hardly a 
look. They were transferred to the 
Pennsylvania railroad docks by ferry 
and left Jersey City for Philadelphia 
at 8 o’clock Saturday morning. It was 
nearly noon when they reached the 
City of Brotherly Love, but they made 
the most of their time by visiting In- 
dependence Hall and the Betsey Ross 
house before lunch. Here the party 
scattered. That is, the Manchester 
party, growing in numbers by the ad- 
dition of another group of tourists, 
became separated from the 4co or 
500 in the main party in the trip. 
The majority of the larger party were 
from Boston. Among those who join- 
ed forces with the Manchester people 
were Mr. and Mrs. George E. Wales 
of Medford, the Misses Flynn and 
Miss Gillepsie of Roxbury, Miss 
Goodrich of Salem, Miss Arline Tar- 
bell of Hudson, three Winthrop High 
School boys, Messrs. Barber, Sum- 
merly and O’Brien and Miss Irene 
O’Brien of Winthrop. The party 
with the Manchester students as a 
nucleus kept together for the re- 
mainder of the trip and under the

guidence of Mr. Mackin had a splen- 
did time. After their lunch- they 
visited the. United States Mint and at 
3 o'clock in the afternoon took a train 
for Washington. It was dinner time 
when they reached the capital and 
the party proceeded to the National 
hotel where they remained during the 
remainder of the trip. 
In connection with their stop at the 
hotel it should be mentioned that the 
manager of the hostelry is T. K. Ruth, 
with whom Mr. Mackin was previ- 
ously. acquainted. Mr. Mackin was 
informed by the man in charge of the 
trip that the manager of the National 
had sent word to tell Mr. Mackin 
“that he can have anything he wants.” 
It was not until he met Mr. Ruth that 
Mr. Mackin knew to whom he was 
indebted for the promise. Mr. Ruth 
was a former tourist agent on the 
B. & O. railroad and in conducting 
other trips to Washington Mr. Mac- 
kin had become acquainted with him. 
Mr. Ruth made good his promise and 
the party was carefully looked afier 
all the time they were at the hotel. 
After dinner on Saturday night the 
party proceeded to visit the Congres- 
sional Library where they were 
amazed at the beauties of the place. 
They remained until after ro o’clock 
that night. 
On Sunday morning the entire 
party went on a sight-seeing trip ia

visited Fort Meyer, Arlington, the 
zoological gardens, Ford Theatre and 
irany points of interest all over the 
city. In the afternoon they took in— 
the Cocoran Art Gallery, 
On Sunday night the party received 
an unusual treat. One of the party 
suggested that he would like to at= 
tend a negro church. Mr. Mackin’ 
approached one of the negro waiters 
at the hotel and the latter invited 
them to attend his church which was 
the leading negro church in the city 
and was located on M st. He prom- 
ised to be on hand to receive them at _ 
the church and kept his word. ‘They 
were impressed by the singing of the 
negro congregation and by the partic- 
ularly splendid sermon by the negro — 
pastor. The antics of a negra 
“manny” who received the “power” — 
were a little disconcerting to some of 
the party, however. 
On Sunday evening word was re-— 
ceived by the party that arrange-_ 
ments had been made for the party 
to visit the White House and accord- 
ingly the next morning about i0- 
o'clock they entered the building to— 
be shown about the lower rooms. 
They were accorded the unexpected 
but hoped for privilege of shaking 
hands with President Wilson. The 
entire party passed in line before the 
chief executive for a momentary 
handeclasp.

the Treasury building, the Supreme — 
Court chamber and the House of 
Representatives. In the afternoon the —

ing. ‘the wonders of the Pan-Amer-— 
ican building delighted the party. In 
the afternoon a visit was paid to Mt. 
Vernon and to Alexandria. 
One of the choice possessions of the 
party 1s a group photoevraph taken in- 
front of the White House
