A number of Ukiah young people gave
the neighboring town of Albee a little
“Round-Up” surprise Sunday. Dressed in
cowboy attire, ladies as well as men, and
mounted on spirited horses they rode to
Albee and paraded through the streets. The
Misses Frankie and Ila Sturdivant, Miss
Helen De Vaul and Dick De Vaul were the
most spectacular, being dressed in chaps and
sombreros. They were joined at Albee by
Miss Emily Quant who rode “Old Hinderman
Brown,” famous horse of these parts. Miss Ila
Sturdivant and Miss Quant are both graduates
of Pendleton high school. Miss Sturdivant
is a native of Ukiah and is now teaching in
the Ukiah schools. Miss De Vaul comes from
Portland and is teaching in District 79. The
men who took part in the parade were Gordon
Mettie, Marion Morton and Claire Sturdivant.

Longtime Portland Trail Blazer radio
broadcaster Bill Schonely will turn his voice
to rodeo at the Pendleton Round-Up to help
bring the event to a statewide audience next
month. The irst-time radio network link will
be possible with the help of the Trail Blazers,
who have offered their satellite distribu-
tion system to stations around the region,
Round-Up publicity director Bob Miller said.
Any current Blazer radio afiliate can carry
that broadcast, which will be anchored by
Schonely. Pro rodeo veterans Butch Knowles
and Dick Kelly will call event action. Rodeo
broadcast veteran Butch Thurman of the
GMC Truck Pro Rodeo Report will interview
contestants in the arena and Schonely will tie
the broadcast together with color and updates
on standings, Smith said.
