PAGE FIVE VL L. H. S. AMPLIFIER Account of Tour Given By Gould at Assembly Thomas A. Edison Offers Four-Year Scholarship Telling a few interesting inci dents of his .trip around the rim of the United States-, on a motorcycle, C. E. Gould, teacher of mathema tics, addressed the West Linn High student body Monday afternoon. He told of the extreme heat of Arizona—110 degrees in the shade Another thing that is different there is that while driving along the road occasionally one will see a sign reading “Dip 50 feet.” This means simply what it says, that there is a dip of that much in the road. While in Boston, Mr. Gould became acquainted with a young newspaper reporter, and told him of his trip1 and later sent Mr. Gould a copy of the newspaper, giving an account of his journey. One bit told of the terrible rain storms he ’en countered, and how the loose gravel had made it difficult to travel. This is all false, but it is true that much rain fell in the South. Mr. Gould said that the most in teresting placé that he visited was Washington, D. C. While here he sáw the Capitol and the Washing ton and Lincoln Monuments. í Thé Lincoln memorial is a large marble building. There aré 36 col umns on the outside of the building, that stand for the 36 states at the time of Lincoln’s death. The build ing has an immense opening, and Within is a huge sculptured statue of Lincoln, sitting in an armchair. On one side of him is a copy of the Emancipation. Proclamation, and on the other, his Gettysburg speech. - Another point- . of interest Mr. Gould saw was à Chinese Joss house, or Chinese place of worship in New York, beautiful teakwood objects, jade, and silk hangings adorned the walls. The trip covered 11,068 miles. Mr. Gould left Hood River June 5 and returned August 8. Mr. Thomas A. Edison is again offering a four-year technical School scholarship to be known as the Thomas A.
