Pag« Three The Nyssa Gate City Journal, Nyssa, Oregon OUT OF r L. THE PAST Arriving at the HarneyCounty Rodeo grounds this week were a load of buffaloes wh'ch will be used at the Oregon High School Championship Rodeo, July 7, 8, and 9 in Burns. Unlike the thirteen events which are limited to high school cow boys and cowgirls, the buffalo bucking is open to the public. Entries can be mailed to Sherrif’s Deputy Marvin Wil son at the sheriff’s office in Bums, along with a $10. fee. Winner of the three days of buffalo riding will also be re cognized as the World’s Cham pion buffalo rider. He will receive a championship belt and buckle in addition to the prize money. Burns has the only rodeo in 10 YEARS AGO 40 YEARS AGO Part of a letter written by the 1961 American Foreign Ex change student, (AFS) by LEILA ALAMPAY Saying “goodbye" is one part of my trip to the United States that I do not like, especially when 1 have grown fond of the people around me and love my American family. I am looking forward to the bus trip that’s in store for me, but I am not eager to leave. On August 20 of last year (1961), my family, Mr. and Mrs. Paul House, Bonnie and Butch, met me at the Boise air port. When we arrived home, Dad said, “Well this is your home—Welcome home." Those were the first words I had heard that evening, and I felt right at home with them, too. I’d been wanting to live in a small town for a change and I’m glad I was sent to Nyssa because I don’t know any other better place to live. Before I left home, my mother was wor ried when we couldn’t find Nyssa on the Oregon map. I told her not to worry, AFS had taken care of that. After my first letter home, her worries were over. My English teacher, Mr. Clyde Swisher, is one of the best teachers I've ever had and I congratulate NHS for having a good instructor like him on the faculty. Believe me Nyssans, I’ve en joyed my stay here, I like you, I like Nyssa and I’m hoping to return. I am thinking of pester ing my American family again some day--maybe 1964, 1976 or 1982. Who knows? After a tour of the United States Miss Alampay will leave from San Francisco and ex pects to arrive back in the Philippines around August 12. “A trip to Tokyo Japan as stenographer for the American Trading Company of Denver held many thrills for me ten years ago,” said Mrs. Grover Vest in a delightful chat for Nyssa Civic Club Wednesday. “My first pleasant surprise was the double value of Ameri can money. The Japanese were kind. When I became lost in the alley-like streets, someone was always ready to start me the world to feature buffalo out right, or take me home.” riding and four television sta “High fences separate many tions will have camera crews homes from the street and you around the arena fences to re cannot see the beautiful little cord the event. gardens.
