FALL FASHIONS ARRIVING
at the department stores bring
the announcement of high board
representatives for 1968-69.
Representing Grant for Rhodes
is Barbara Kane. Candy Laxton
was chosen by Nordstrom Best;
Anne Pritchard by Charles F.
Berg; Debby Rengo by Meier
and Frank company; Gaile Thor-
stad by J. C. Penney company,
and Saundra Twedt by Lipman’s.
Some activities that the girls
participate in are teas, meetings
where they plan service projects,
fashion shows, meetings of supe­
riors, and modeling.
“IN THE SUMMER, we worked
on the (Meier and Frank) col­
lege board fashion show,” com­
mented Debby.
Journeys to Europe, South America
made by teachers during summer
EUROPE, SOUTH AMERICA,
and Central America ¿were the
locations visited by several
Grant faculty members this
summer.
Mrs. Anna Tempest spent four
weeks visiting France. “I spent
time on park benches finding
out what the people are really
like and what they think,” she
stated. Mrs. Tempest traveled
second class along with the
French people in order to get to
know them better, feeling that it
is important to be more involved.
WHILE VISITING THE Latin
Quarter in Paris, Mrs. Tempest
noticed a great feeling of ten­
sion around Sorbonne univer­
sity. “The policemen were every­
where walking in groups of two
and three. But I never felt the
need to clench my purse away
from the French people,” she ob­
served.

“Many of the French people
would talk freely, but when
asked about de Gaulle, they
would just shrug their shoulders
and walk away,” stated Mrs.
Tempest.
“I WAS MOST impressed by
the hippies that were every­
where. Not that I approve of
them, but they are gentle,” she
concluded.
Lloyd Ingraham took a gen­
eral tour through Ecrope, visit­
ing such countries as England,
France, Switzerland, Greece,
Yugoslavia, Austria, Czechoslo­
vakia and Russia. The tour took
about two months by boat and
bus.
WHILE IN RUSSIA, Mr. Inra-
ham found that the people were
friendly and didn’t seem to mind
the Americans being there.
While Mr. Ingraham was in
Czechoslovakia, the Russians in­
vaded. The tour got out slightly
before the borders closed!
All those on the tour had some
connection with education. Mr.
Ingraham added that junior class
president John Othus, whose
mother is a teacher, was also on
the tour.
MRS. RUTH ALCORN spent
eight weeks in South America,
visiting every country but two.
It was just a general tourist trip,
but Mrs. Alcorn planned her trip
well in advance so she could see
much more than the average
tourist.
Mrs. Alcorn took several jun­
gle trips. “It was interesting to
note,” she stated, “the differ-
ences in the types of jungles. In
Venezuela the growth was quite
scrubby and the soil was sandy,
while in the Andes the jungles
had plush growth with exotic
plants.”
WE WERE VERY fortunate to
see Angel Falls, the largest falls
in the world,” she disclosed. The
falls are only visible at certain
times. In fact, flying over the
falls, it appears as a cloud.
Mrs. Alcorn noted that many
people have found themselves in
South America after World War
II. Also, most of the people she
came in contact with were not
native born.
Mr. Wayne Robinson traveled
to British Honduras, which is lo­
cated in Central America, by
camper this summer.
“THE MAJOR HIGHWAY
there,” he noted, “is a paved
road with one lane.” He added,
“I’d have to pull off the road to
let the other cars pass.”
The terrain is a tropical rain
forest with dense jungles, tropi­
cal ferns as large as trees. “Oc­
casionally we would see a mon­
key or a big cat cross the road.
The birds were beautiful,” Mr.
Robinson observed.
Mr. Robinson noticed a great
feeling of nationalism among the
people who will get their inde­
pendence from Great Britain in
the near future. “It was interest­
ing to note,” he added, “that the
population is 90 per cent Negro,
and that the country is run most­
ly by these people.
“We had to have Powers’
modeling for our fashion show,”
said Anne.
Each store has its . special uni-
form for the reps to wear. Meier
and Frank girls are outfitted in
red and gray plaid skirts, red
vests, white blouses, and black
accessories.

IT HAS BEEN said that criti-
cism is the best teacher. Mem-
bers of the Grantonian staff
have learned to accept criticism
and value from the experience
each year when reports from
critical rating services are giv­
en.
The International Honor Rat­
ing has been awarded the Gran­
tonian from Quill and Scroll and
National Newspaper Service has
given an “A” rating to the paper.
COMMENTS MADE BY

an above average newspaper
doing a great job in covering
most school events,” “Granton­
ian has a beautiful format,” and
“Clean looking pages.”
Many suggestions were made,
most of which will be put to use
in this year’s paper.

“They really went all out,” said
Candy.
