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.

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.
