After we got back to the hotel we went to the Ed Sullivan stu- dio and saw the rehearsal of the Sunday night show and Mr, Rib - son arranged for us to be on the stage at night. We went to a restaurant for supper, then went back to the hotel for a little rest. I Later we gathered our equip- ment and went tti the studio for the night show. There was a big lineup to get in but the attend- ants let us in the stage door, where a lot of people were wait - ting to get autographs. 1 When the girls put on their hockey equipment we shared a '.dressing room with Julia Meade and the Irish dancers.

There! were a few pillow fights and lots of fun and tricks in the reems, but they turned the lights out at 12:00, and we all went to sleep. The next 'morning Mr, Ribson .knocked on our door at 7.00, After breakfast Mr. Smith took all of us down town to shop and look around in the stores. We bought souvenirs to bring home and we spent the rest of our money at the Fenny Arcade. We all wept over to the Madi- son Square Gardens, The mari- aker of the Gardens showed us all. around and told us how they took the ice out of the arena and set it up for boxing, basketball or wrestling. When we were. there it was set up for boxing and they had another ice sur- face upstairs that the players used for practice when the ice was out on the main floor. He asked us if we wanted to see the New York Rangers dressing room. and took us aft down there. We saw the first aid table, and some of the boys got on the training bicycle that they have in the dressing room. All the players sticks and equip- ment were hanging on hooks. He showed vs how light Andy Bath - gate's stick was. While we were there Dave Creighton came in to check some of his equipment. The pho- tographer took some pictures of us while we were in the dress- ing room. After we came out of the Gardens he took our picture again in• front of the building. At 3.30 a bus was waiting to take us to the airport. On the way back to Toronto we ate our supper on the plane. When you are ready to eat you press a but- ton and a small table unfolds. The stewardess brings the food on a tray. They served us shrimp cocktail, roast' beef and vegetables and chocolate cake. Most of the children gave the shrimps to Mr.. Ribson and Mr. Smith who seemed to like them, When we landed at the London airport, a lot of the parents were there to meet us, and most of them took our pictures as we came down the ramp: Everybody talked at once as we all tried to tell everything that had happened tq us — then home to bed and school the next morning. Our trip was over! I would like to thank everyone who helped to make this trip to New • 'York possible.
