OUR VISIT TO NE `s' YORK—
THE WONDER CITY
(Written by RON KLOPP)
"Wow," we yowled, staring at
the massive and strange structures
as we arrived at the famed city of
New York on Friday afternoon,
determined as South Huron Dist-
rict High School students, to reach
the city since our departure on
Thursday night.
The most prominent point of
interest, after we arranged our-
selves at the hotel, was the Em-
pire State Building. Soaring . up
86 storeys, we stopped at the
observatory terrace on the 86th
floor for our first aerial glimpse
of the city. Ten hundred and fifty
feet above the street, we looked
down and down on an animated
map of toy cars and ant -like peo-
ple, flowing orderly through a
network of streets.
The thriving section of Wall
Street projected its spires from
the lower buildings surrounding
it and in the New York harbour,
the bronze statue of Liberty
glimmered on Eedloe's Island like
a jewel reflecting the sun's bril-
liance. However, we were not at
the top of this building and we
ascended to the 102nd storey
1,250 feet above the ground level,
on top of the highest building in
the world.
Returning to the hotel, we pre-
pared for the first musical, "Bells
Are Ringing" starring Judy Hol-
liday at the Schubert Theatre.
Saturday morning, after the
"rise and shine" signal at seven
thirty, we began the sightseeing
tour of the city. We visited the
famous Wall Street where the
moneyed interests of various
businesses are controlled. China-
town, where pagoda -like buildings
house strange perfumes and dried
foods such as fish, octopi and
shrimp in true oriental style.
From Chinatown we ventured
into the worst Negro section of
New York, called Harlem, and in -

the futuristic design of the build-
ing. Here our tour included a
visit to each of the four magnifi-
cent meeting rooms, furnished ex-
quisitely by Denmark, Sweden,
Czechoslovakia, France and other
nations. Saturday evening we
enjoyed the second musical ‘"Lil
Abner" at St. James Theatre.
Accepting the rain (in bucket-
fuls) on Sunday morning, we
made our way to the largest
cathedral in the world, that of
St. John -the -Divine. The deep
rumbles of the five manual organ,
the intense colouration of the
ritualistic procession of the offic-
ers of the cathedral and the fact
that this was Easter Sunday, and
we were in the largest cathedra
to be found, made an impression
on our minds far greater than we
had witnessed before this.
Radio City Music. Hall on Sun -
:lay night was the most memor-
able part (for some) of the trip.
The unique stage with various ele-
vations, the deep scallops of the
.urtain, the declining movement
)f the n' -^hest' a, and the harmony
of the four -console organ, created
in us a feeling of majesty and
content.
The execution of activities on
Monday was left to our own dis-
cretion, and many chose the "Let's
shop this morning, and sightsee
this afternoon" plan. Most, at
one time or another managed to
visit the Historical Museum of
New York, the Heyde" P• anei -
ariom, and Rockefeller Centre.
Rockefeller Centre was mag-
nificent with its statues of Atlas
holding up the universe and the
shining bronze Prometheus guard-
ing the ice rink in the lower
plaza, transformed into an open
air restaurant during the summer
months. After oul• last m'�su:ai
"The Music Man" at the Majestic
Theatre, with a cry of "Exeter or

bus at 12 p.m. and fell fast asleep.
