BARBARA EARNEST IS EDITOR

Barbara Earnest
“It was certainly different
from what I expected,” is the
way senior Barbara Earnest de
scribes her three week visit to
the University of Kansas for the
journalism division of the Mid
western Music and Art camp
during June and July.
“Everyone assured me it
would be flat and yellow
country, dry and hot. It was
hilly and green and very
humid, but it was hot!” she
laughs.
Barbara was enrolled in nine
different classes including radio
and television, creative writing,
feature writing, editorial writ
ing and news writing.
“I enjoyed the radio and
TV class very much. I wrote
and directed my own radio
script which was later
broadcasted to one of the
dormitories.
“I also worked on the Summer
Session Kansan which was pub
lished twice a week. Our adviser
was very funny and he enjoyed
sending us to places declared off
bounds for campers to get a
story.”
Classes were usually held
from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sometimes
it was so warm that they would
hold their afternoon classes at
night.
“Although our dormitory
was described as “one of
our loveliest scholarship
halls,” it was very old and
had no air conditioning.
There were only 24 girls
staying there while about
800 were housed in one of
the modern and air condi
tioned dormitories around
the campus.
“We were kind of isolated
from the other girls and all of
the boys which had its disadvan
tages, but we became better
friends with each other because
of it.
“The students came from all
over the United States. I was
the only one in journalism from
the Pacific Northwest, but oth
ers came from California, Flor
ida, Connecticut, Illinois, Texas
and many other states.”
No classes were held on week
ends, so the campers had plenty
of time for sightseeing.
“Besides learning more in the
field of journalism, I learned
more about people and the Unit
ed States. I had no idea that peo
ple and their ideas could be so
different. I certainly enjoyed the
experience,” she concluded.
Europe, Orient, Alaska visited
by wandering faculty members
Rock-climbing in the Italian
Alps, photographing grizzlies,
and sampling gourmet foods of
Europe were some of the activi
ties of our traveling teachers.
Others scuba dived and climbed
mountains in Greece and Cana
da.
Miss Gail Wright picked
up her new Volkswagon in
Europe. She drove through
the Netherlands, Switzer
land, Italy, Belgium, Great
Britain, Austria and Ger
many.
“Scotland is the most beauti
ful part of Britain, with the
downs and all,” she said. “We
stayed in private homes there
advertising “Bed and Breakfast,”
(similar to boarding homes) as
we did throughout the trip.”
“The most thrilling part of the
trip was the hiking and rock-
climbing trip in the Italian Alps.
The Sierra club sponsored three
weeks of hiking in the Austrian,
Swiss and Italian Alps,” she
said.
Clarence Beyer took his
family to Alaska. For a
week they lived in a remote
Forest Servicce cabin on a
small lake. “We had to take
a seaplane into it,” said Mr.
Beyer. “I lost count of the
fish I caught.”
They also toured Alaska while
camping out in tents as they

searched for gold in the beauti
ful and rugged Yukon territory.
Miss Wilma Crabtree also
•' visited Alaska. “We saw
mountain sheep, grizzly bear
and elk,” she stated. “The
highlight of the trip was the
visit to Dawson City.” The
deserted parts of the city
reminded her of a ghost
town.
In Dawson Miss Crabtree saw
the annual celebration of Robert
Service’s poetry. “The Crema
tion of Sam Magee” and other
poems were acted out.
Miss Dorothy Johnson also
was in Alaska this summer.
She taught at Alaska Meth
odist university in Anchor
age, and traveled about the
state when the term ended.
“I have a pin certifying that
I’ve crossed the Arctic Cir
cle,” said Miss Johnson.
She visited an Eskimo village,
Mendenhall Glacier, and Nome.
“You had to fly everywhere,”
she stated. “There are very few
roads in the state. It was quite
an experience,” she concluded.

Taiwan,
Japan,
Hong Kong, Angkor Wat,
Bangkok, Singapore, Man
ila, Melbourne,
Sydney,
Aukland, Nandi, and Hono
lulu.
“We have a beautiful grand
daughter!” exclaimed Mrs. New
comer, who saw the child for the
first time on Taiwan. “Spending
time there with my son and his
family was the best part of the
trip.”
“We enjoyed every place, we
were. People look, dress, and
drive differently,” she stated.
“They were very nice and cour
teous. The language barrier was
no problem.”
“We saw Christina Lim, our
1964-65 exchange student, in
Singapore. Her family was very
nice to us.”
Miss Mary Rask attended
school in Mexico. She stud
ied Mexican conversation
and culture, and took trips
to interesting spots. “One
weekend we visited Puerto
Vallarta, a seaside town
where “Night of the Iguana”
was filmed. The water was
very warm, and the sounds
at night were weird,” she
said.
“We also visited Guantajuato,
an old Spanish colonial town. It
was like old Spain,” she com
mented. “I attended a birthday
party in the home village of one
of the maids in my house. We
danced, ate and sang. It was
really fun,” she added.
Miss Janet Jack drove
through the Canadian Roek
ies. “I was thrilled by the
mountains, especially when
climbing Mt. Whistler and
Mt. Sulpher,” she comment
ed. “We visited Lake Lou
ise, Banff, and Jasper.”
Mrs. Marjorie Prendergast
drove through western Europe.
“I got a Volvo in Brussels,” she
stated.
Switzerland, Austria,
Greece, Yugoslavia, Belgium,
Germany, Holland and Sweden
were visited.
“I tasted everything I possibly
could, except escargot (snails).
I also collected pastries!” she ex-!
claimed. “We did an awful lot
of shopping,” she continued. “We
even scuba dove in Greece.”
