fers from previous years. Im
pressions one received this year
were : that the Americana has
been renovated and looks far
better . . . some cab and bus
drivers are rude; some are
kind; some delegates take their
roles very seriously; some
rooms are much too overheat
ed; prices' have tripled (25c for
a Hersihey bar?); service at
lunch counters is much too
slow; weatherwise, it was
balmy one day, windy and cold
the next, snow flurries, and
clear with icy winds other days ;
the Washington Monument to
closed for repairs; Jan Parham
prefers icy ground to shoes that
hurt her feet; there are fifty-
four steps to be climbed to the
Lincoln Memorial.
The changing of the guards
at the Tomb of the Unknown
Soldiers is impressive . . . the
flame at Kennedy’s grave
burnfcs on; the Elbert County
High delegation almost repre
sented the Palestinian Libera
tion Organization (Oh, No!);
the Smithsonian Institute can
not be seen in a few minutes . ..
disappointments the size of the
Hope diamond; Elbertonian
girls like Puerto Ricans who
are good-looking; time passes
quickly in D. C.; riding a plane
is fun and fast; nine people not
including the driver can get in
to a cab but the driver gets
nervous , .. teachers work when
they don’t have to.
In person Helen Thomas (not
Helen Reddy) is attractive . . .
Yankee foods taste differently;
a trembling, nervous Greg Mann
pled to the Security Council
for the Jordanian cause. We
hope to go again next year!
Students Attend
Presidential Classroom
BY JAN THOMASON
Two students from Elbert
County High, Elaine Roberts
and Susan. Simpson attended
“A Presidential Classroom for
Young Americans” during the
week of February 15th until
the 22nd. This classroom is a
non-profit program set up for
six weeks, with six week-long
classes, to inform high school
students of the main functions
of government, executive, legis
lative; and judicial branches.
Susan and Elaine stayed at
the Sheraton Park Hotel. They
were involved with seminars
pertaining to history of the
past, happenings of today, and
predictions of tomorrow.
The seminars usually lasted
three-fourths of the day. Susan
and Elaine heard very impresi-
slve speakers such as Senator
Hubert Humphrey, Jack Ander
son, former Justice Tom Clark,
and General George S. Brown.
The rest of the time they took
up sightseeing historic places
such as the Lincoln monument,
Jefferson monument, the White
House, Capitol Hill, State De
partment, and the Arlington
Cemetery. On different nights
they spent an evening at the
John F. Kennedy Art Center,
toured the city at night, and
they were also escorted under
rigid supervision in the Central
Intelligence Agency (CIA).
To close Elaine and Susan’s
exciting week, they attended a
banquet, after which they at
tended a dance.
