By ALEXIA LOWELL
Smith Huron District High
School was all aglow at 4:30
a.m. Good Friday morning as 36
eager students and three teachers
awaited a chartered Motorways
Bus which was to take them to.
New York City.
Passing through the Fort Erie
customs, we Ibreakfasted in Buf-
falo. To our diStuay bus trouble
detained .us here a few hours.
The countryside scenery was
beautiful and about dusk fte Cat-
skill :Mountains aroused a few
tired tourists.
The first glim.pse of New York
was a city of glistening iights in
a distance. Crossing the Hudson
River through the Lincoln Tun-
nel, which is two and one-half
miles long, we made our way to
the Wm. Sloane House where the
boys had reservations. 'The girls
advanced to the Martha Washing-
ton Hotel where they 'were book-
ed for the weekend. Even at 5
o'clock in the morning humorous
incidents arise and we were not
without these. Two boys locked
themselves out of their room and
one of the girls forgot her suit-
case keys.
Walk Through Shuns
Glorious spring weather lavor-
ed the students for a walk to the
United Nations 'building, The
girls, however, saw a New York
they had given little thought to.
Their first impression of the city
was rather undetermined Ibecause
of their walk through the alums,
vegetable street markets and sec-
ond hand dealers.
This was quickly forgotten
when the United Nations buildings
came into view. The sight of the
UN. overlooks the East Hudson
River and the city of Brooklyn.
The splendour of modern arch-
itecture is surely displayed in
these buildings where national
delegates strive for world peace.

After lunch. we took a bus
sight-seeing tour of New York.
A. wen -Wormed guide 4.00QMPAIX-•
led us.. Passing thrOugh the fin-
ancial district of IVIenhattan the
tamed Wall. Street finance build-
ings loomed before us and on
these narrow streets rwere parked
shiny black limousines. In this
small area. mare than ne-441f
of the world finances are son -
trolled. Proceeding on we same
to the shortest street in New
York on which only tour care -can
be parked.
Artists' Centre •
We passed through Greenwich
Village where many of the great
writers anthartists struggled early
and late for recognition. It has
now become a part of New York
City but has retained its individ-
ualism . as a 'borough.
!IVIanhattan's Third Avenue
holds a story all in itself. Out-
door auction sales along the
streets or perhaps several beg,
gars on one block all belong to
Third Avenue. Yes, even Sammy's
Bowery Follies are situated In
the heart ,of Third Avenue.
One of the most fascinating
settlements of New York City is
Chinatown on Third Avenue. It is
not Oriental in architecture al-
though there are a few pagoda -
like structures and one genuine
temple. This is seldom seen by
tourists, but we vislted this
ancientbuilding.
Leaving the temple, we walked
along the streets of Chinatown,
looking in various shop windows.
In a meat shop a Chinese man
was cutting dried fish and tying
them in, bundles while in his trout
windows hung dried duck (with
heads and intestines!) China-
town is the most law-abiding
town in America, at least with re-
spect to violence—it's only vice
being liquor.
See Fisheries
We continued our tour along
the East River and saw the pack
houses and fisheries. Then the
city of Brooklyn came into view.,
Brooklyn, unlike New York which
has only tenant houses, has.many
luxurious residential homes. Then
nearing the downtown area our
guide pointed out such places as
a newly -constructed glass bank,
Metropolitan Opera House, Times
Square and many other noted
places. Thu's ended our tour.. •
A few students hustled off to
the Empire State Building to view
the largest city in the world from
the largest bulding in the world.
From the eighty-sixth floor, Ob-
servatory Terrace, 1,050 feet
above •the street, we saw otteani-
mated map, 50 miles in diameter,
an area in which 15000,000
people live., Front this height
pedestrains look like pinpoints
and taxicabs are like small in-
sects milling in, orderly lanes
through the humming city. In the
New York Harbour the shining
bronze Statue of Liberty towered
majestically. •
We took the elevator to the
glass -enclosed Upper Observatory
on the one hundred -and -second
floor (1,250 toot level). Not only
is this the highest building fa-
shioned by man, but also the tele-
vision capital of the world. Perch-
ed on to of the fabulous Em-
pire State Building is a 222 -foot
20 -storey high T.V. tower.
Cole Porter's "Can -Can" at
Sam S. Shubert Theatre high-
lighted our first exciting day in
New York. This arousing musical
comedy starred Norwood Smith
and Joan Holloway.
Easter Beauty
Easter Sunday in New York
City was a day of all days and
Mother Nature presented the sur-
rounding district with the warm-
est, most pleasant weather in 30
years. Donning Easter outfits and
bonnets, everyone set out for
church. and later to view the
Easter Parade oh Fifth Avenue.
Several went to St. Patrick's
Cathedral where a beautiful and
inspiring Easter service was pre-
Sented, Others attended the ser-
vice at the -Cathedral Cluire.1 of
St. JOhn-the-Divine, The Right
Reverend H. W. 334. Donegan,
Bishop of New York, delivered
the Easter message. This cathed-
ral seats 8,000 and was filled to
capacity, and it Iva supreme ex-
ample of European architecture.
.A. number of. students spent
Sunday afternoon at Carnegie
Hall enjoying the music of one of
the world's greatest orchestras,
The New York Philharmonic
Symphony. Other students made
their way to Central Park where
they planned to spend several
hours in the Metropolitan iviu-
segin 'of Art. However, the warm
spring weather permitted the
New Yorkers to enjoy Easter
Sunday on the Avenues. These
viewers detained the group. They
arrived at Central Park in time
to hail a cab back to their hotel.
But their excursion was not
Witheat excitement for the Baster
crowds were exciting. One lady
wore a Mtge bine veil hat with
tall Cuttings of flowers on top. On.
the other side of the street a lady
wore a "chapeau Wine" to com-
plete a fine Irish Weed suit.
etiebrate Anniversary
EkIr. and Mrs. 'Henry beibridge
celebrated their 49th wedding an-
niversary at the home Of their
son Horace on Sunday. Mrs, A.
E. Detbridge spent the day with
them And M. Charles Delbridge
And Miss .flora Delibridge called
in the afternoon.
Some 2,000,000 people thronged
Fifth Avenue Sunday afternoon.
Sunday evening we dined at
Longehamps at Fifth Avenue and
3 4th Street, Here we enjoyed the
splendour of a first class dining
restaurant,
Show "1 -Indescribable
The evening's entertainment
was spent at Radio City Music
Hall (Rockfeller Centre), where
the current, movie, lass
Slipper," was Pitying, starring
Leslie Caron and Michael Wild-
ing. The stage show was nude-
seribahle, My only comments are
it was beautiful, marvellous and
unbelievable.
Monday, as the boys said, was
the day for the "girls", for the
entire day was to be spent shop-
ping. Macy's, the largest depart-
ment store in the world, covering
10 acres, was the first stop for
Most. Then many proceded to
Sak's and then to Gimball's,
brousing in these noted stores, if
not buying. The shopping expedi-
tion along Fifth Avenue Wail eOP-
oiting and in most eases valuable.
The new spring styles published
in the latest fashion magazines.
can be found in theleading shops
ajong rim Avenue. ••
When we .arrived at the
Sloane House loaded with
boxes and parcels, to our sur-
prise we found •the boys had
'given us close competition, Near-
ly every boy bad purchased a
tablecloth or_two, for I under-
stand they found "a tremendous
little store." After checking, our
purchases and lunching, we set
out for Ziegfield Theatre, where
an Arabian musical, "Kismet,"
was playing.
About midnight 11fondaY, "bag
and baggage", we hoarded the
Motorways bus. As the New York-
ers said "from where?" we re-
plied "'Exeter, Ontario, -Canada".
Yes—we. were leaving that fabul-
ous city that leads the world -in
modern living for that leading
town--Exeter--in the heart of
Southern Ontario.
