In elementary school, a student with good grades could be a crossing guard and take a school trip to Washington, D.C., to visit the nation's capital. Allan and Eric had the good grades and made the trip; Joel and Andrew did not. Arnold went as a parent chaperon. They took a night train to Washington, D.C. Here is Allan in Washington in 1966:
