STUDENTS VISIT
STEWART, NEVADA
It was a tr ip th at w ill be long
remembered by the four students who
were fortunate enough to have taken
i t . Barbara Cleveland, Ida Largo,
Dennison Begay, and Bob Ekstrcm
were sele c te d
to
v i s i t Stewart
Indian School in Nevada.
Ida and
Robert w ill e sp e c ia lly remember i t
as the time when th e ir luggage went
one way and they another. At
San
fr a n c isco , the a ir lin e s
fo rg o t to
tran sfer th e ir s u itc a s e s . When they
arrived a t Reno,
they found th at
th eir luggage was in Fresno.
The group were chaperoned on the
tr ip by Mrs. Ethelmae Sanders, aca­
demic English teacher, and Mr. Ted
Young, teacher guidance.
..
When they arrived a t Stew art, i t
was the l a s t week o f school and the'
students were busy with p icn ics and.
reviews for te s t a . The sen iors were
already deep in graduation prepar­
a tio n . However, they s t i l l found a
lo t of time to be hospitable
and
made the v is it o r s f e e l a t home. The
senior p icn ic was held a t b ea u tifu l
Lake Tahoe, and the group
shared
th is outing with them. The Student
Council a t Stewart took them to see
h is to r ic V irginia C ity. While they
were th ere, they got to see many o f
the things th at they had read about
in books and magazines. The S ilv e r
Dollar Queen, the famed T e r r ito r ia l
E nterprise, the newspaper th at Mark
Twain made famous, and the su icid e
ta b le , where so many gamblers took
th e ir l i v e s . After they had
tired
themselves out with sig h ts e e in g , i t
was time to e a t, and the council
took them to dinner a t a very nioe
restaurant.
. On the way home the group had a
chance to observe people in casinos
lo sin g th e ir money.
A short but memorable tr ip to a
s is t e r sch ool makes new frien d s and
. g iv es new ideas but i t a ls o endears
students .to th e ir own sch ool.

Students To Ice Show
I f you have never seen an Ice
f o l l i e s , i t would be im possible to
describe them. In my opinion, they
are the most b ea u tifu l show o f a l l .
On May 12, a mixed group from
recreation went to Memorial Col-
llseum , Portland, to see them.
The elaborate costumes, bright
colored lig h ts shining on the io e ,
and gorgeous g ir ls make i t a show
to long remember.
I must admit, however, a l l th at
io e meed me a l i t t l e homesick.
