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

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

A short but memorable tr ip to a

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.
