Little guys rodeo held at He He
The kids have their day at the lie
He Mill rodeo during the huckleb
erry feast. Two days of rodeo where
they all had fun trying their luck
riding those frisky little calves and
cows.
There were kids of all ages par
ticipating, some making their first
attempt to stay aboard these wiley
little critters. While: sme were brush
ing up on their skills and correcting
mistakes they made on prior rides
at other pce-wee rodeos. For those
who made their first ride some had
second thoughts of becoming a
rodeo cowboy, while others it gave
them all the more determination to
stay aboard the next attempt. Some
good prospects for better things
down the road were shown from
some of the young future cowboys.
Some people wonder why riders
have a big bell on their bull ropes,
some clowns will tell you that it is
to keep the rider awake during the
Sports Informational
meeting set
A fall sports informational meet
ing will be held Monday, August
24 beginning at 7:30 p.m. at Mad
ras H igh School cafeteria. All inte
rested parents and students are
encouraged to attend.
ride, but that is not true, the main
purpose is after the rider leaves the
bulls back the bell pulls the rope off
the bull.
The clown, the funny man in the
rodeo arena, one who keeps the
crowd entertained during slack
periods during the rodeo, he plays
an important role during the bull
riding event. Some of those big
bulls can get pretty mad and nasty
during the rodeo and are ready to
mangle anything in sight and they
usually go after the fallen rider.
This is where the clown comes
lying on the ground. It is very dan
gerous and several clowns have
been severly injured during the bull
riding events, as they take the bull
away from the rider in a fashion to
entertain the crowd, many times
getting themselves hurt in the pro
cess, but they show no pain until
after the show when no one can see
them. A lot of ace bandage and
linament is used to keep a clown in
the arena for another day.
Some people say that a person
must not be in his right mind to
want to ride a bull, and many more
agree, but its the life of a cowboy,
the challenge of man against
beast. Majority of the time the
beast comes out the victor. Rodeo
is considered the roughest sport
today. No matter what event it is in
the arena a cowboy or cowgirl can
get injured real bad.
As the young cowboys are learn
ing to ride and rope many of them
vision participating in the Cheyenne
Frontier Days rodeo, the Calgary
Stampede, the Pendleton Round
Up. the Cow Palace and many
many more of the big rodeos of
today. For those who make it, they
make it through a lot of bumps and
bruises and along the way.
So with the little britches rodeos
give the little guys a taste of what to
expect from rodeos in the future.
Each year there is something new
added to the fun rodeo at He He
Mill during the huckleberry feast.
This year is was a baton relay race
of a team consisting of four riders
to a team stationed out at stations
around the He He Butte with the
winner coming into the arena to
win the race. There were three
teams entered this year and proba
bly next there will be more. There
was the Heath team, the Scott
team, and the Squiemphen team.
The Squiemphen team was out in
front coming into the arena but
just as they came to the gate their
horse ducked back and the Scott
team passed them up entered the
arena to win the race. Next year
there are plans for a better rodeo
for the little guys.

To the People,
Again it has been a pleasure to

All of the students that attended
and came everyday, have good
swim skills and will be safer in and
around the water, than the ones
who only came three or four times.
The aides did a fine job, and
helped give individual help on var
ious swim skills to all the classes.
Thanks.
Thanks to the mothers, who came
and helped give their beginning
tots encouragement for the begin

Warm Springs youth took port in the Summer's End fun run. The run started in front of the Community
Center.
Many take swim
classes, tests
The Warm Springs Recreation
program would like to also note
the students who took part in and
completed the summer swimming
classes. At this time the program
has a 35 percent success rate, which
means that of 200 participants, 70
finished the classes and took the
final swimming tests. According to
Lyle Rhoan, recreation director,
many of the kids spent a lot of time
attending the classes but for some
reason they didn't take the tests.
He was not sure what reasons
many of the kids had for not com
pleting as he was certain that most
of the kids would have passed quite
easily.
The summer swim program encou
rages young people to learn basic
water skills and water survival skills.
Rhoan said it is important to teach
all children to be "drown proof."
He said the program will be pre
sented again next summer with an
emphasis on havinga great number
of youngsters completing the classes.
Students given recognition are:
Lucinda Tufti. Betty Jo Stevens,
Craig Graham, Robin Ike, Pita
Pitt, Roxanne Johnson, Jessie Reese,
Ina Wainanwit, Jeremiah Johnson.
Radine Heath, Matthew Glenn,
Denica Greene, Dinata Pittman,
