some topic of special interest
to them. All entries were di
vided into the two groups for
judging. The judges, Mrs. Gil
bert Ellis and John McCor

areas: creative ability, scien

technical skill, clarity and
dramatic value.

On Motor Trip
Hornbrook - A trip of un
usual interest and beauty was
taken last week end by Miss
Phyllis Bird, Miss Marilyn

at the Forks school.
From there, they drove on
to Somes Bar and Orleans.
They stayed overnight in Or

down to Weitchpec and on
to the Hoopa Indian reserva

Miss Bird's, including Dr. and
Mrs. Richard Ricklefs, and
were taken to see the new
hospital there. Some time ago,
Dr. Ricklefs appeared on
Ralph Edward's television pro
gram, "This Is Your Life."
Since that time, sufficient
funds have come in to enable
the hospital to be completed.
Miss Bird obtained three In
dian baskets and some Indian
hats to add to her Indian col
lection. Saturday afternoon
the trio drove to the coast
and attended church Sunday
morning, returning home that
afternoon via the Redwood
highway and Grants Pass.
Miss Bird is a teacher in
the Hornbrook grammar
school. Miss Gratiot teaches
in Montague, and Miss Bruns
is Siskiyou county school
nurse. The travelers reported
