Wilderness area. This served
as their base camp from Au
gust 6 through 31.
Map reading, search and res
cue, first aid, axe-manship and
knot tying were included in 4
days of basic training. After is
suing equipment and selecting
patrol leaders, boys in groups of
12 started on their Alpine expe
dition.
During the 10-day trip
into Three Sisters Wilder
ness area, John climbed
both the north and middle
sister, plus a few minor
peaks. Food for an entire
day consisted of 1 cup of
oatmeal, cheese and meat
cubes, and a cup of rice or
stew for dinner.
Next, a solo trip was complet
ed in which each boy was sent
out alone with 10 matches, a
knife and a coffee can. John was
stationed at Separation creek.
“All 1 had to eat was ber
ries, so I lost about 10
pounds,” commented John.
“I got so hungry, so tired,
and so lonely.
“The next day (after the solo)
we hiked 5 miles and then were
driven back to camp where we
prepared for the final expedi
tion.”
Patrol competition, which
was mainly to relieve ten
sion from the solo, included
frog races, a water jug race
and rope climbing races.
In the last week groups of 4
left the base camp for the final
3%-day expedition. Each group
followed their own approved
course, passing through pre
scribed points to check its prog
ress.
John and his team started at
Spookum Creek Forest camp,
then traveled south to Waldo
lake and finally north back to
the base camp.
“I feel that with this experi
ence behind me I can get any
job with the forest service or
park service. It’s a great refer
ence,” commented John.
“The instructors were the best
and the fellows were really good
guys,” added John.
When asked if he would do it
all over again, John declared,
“I’d do it a million times! It was
the greatest experience that’s
ever happened to me.”

Incoming lettermen
from varsity sports
to receive honors
Pierson's trip into wilderness area
“Fantastic, great, challenging”
were words used by Senior John
Pierson to describe his summer
trip to the Northwest Outward
Bound School for boys.

To honor the fall athletic
teams and coaches is the purpose
of varsity awards night to be
held December 1.
Because a banquet would cost
over $1,800 and the Royal G
would have to “foot” the bill,
milk, coffee, and dessert will be
substituted for this year’s menu.
The ceremonies will start at
7:30 p.m. in the auditorium and
end up in the cafeteria where pie
a la mode, milk and coffee will
be served.
A fee of 50 cents will be
charged parents. All “lettermen-
to-be,” head coaches of fall
sports, the fall, rally squad, and
past and present principals will
be the honored guests.

Freshmen, sophomores to choose
junior varsity rally squad members
Sophomores and freshmen will
elect junior varsity rally squad
members from 18 to 21 screened
applicants on November 29.
The 18 girls to be on the bal
lot will have been previously
judged by a panel of faculty
members and students in the
areas of character, appearance,
pep and skill. Prerequisites for
female applicants is they must
have been a member of the band,
Gendrills or the Pep squad.
In the past if there were only
three male applicants, they were
automatically chosen. This pol
icy has been changed so that any
boy participating on rally must
have a grade point average of
2.0 and at least one half of the
screening panel must have given
him a good character rating.
Concerning these require
ments, John Stuckey, activities
director said, “The prerequisites
for varsity rally are spelled out
in the Constitution on page 9.”
(The student must have been or
be a member of the band, Gen
drills, JV rally or the Pep
squad.)
“We believe that the same
principles that govern varsity
rally participation should gov
ern junior varsity rally partici
pation,” continued Mr. Stuckey.
“We also believe the girls should
have the honor of being on rally
only after they have displayed
enthusiasm and loyalty.”
