Sneak Dag The eleven Seniors and their sponsors, Mr. and Mrs. Hanley, Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Counce, and Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Counce, spent the week-end at the Acacia Hotel in Colorado Springs. The group left Hayes Center at 6 P. M. Friday, April 24th, stopping at Goodland,Kansas, for dinner, and arriving at their destinatia1 about midnight. Saturday morning the Senior boys and their sponsors drove to Pueblo, where they went on a three hour conducted tour of thssteel mills, which are the lar- gest mills west of the Mississippi. It was extremely interesting to watch the huge machinery in operation, and see the molten iron converted into finished g-oducts, such a rail road tracks, nails, woven wire, and decorative fencing. In the afternoon we drove back to Colorado Springs, and each one sp nt the time as he or she wished. Early Sunday norning the entire group drove to Florissant, where we saw I petrified forest. This particular forest was discovered accidentally by Mr. Hanley's aunt and uncle. They had leased about 2000 acres for pasture, and noticing a formation that looked like petrified wood they started exploring and before their deaths, they had uncovered 22 fine specimens, the largest tree being 18 feet in diameter. From there we motored to Cripple Creek, which was at one time a booming gold mining town. Now, it is almost a ghost town, with many deserted and abandon houses and business houses. While there we visited the'Molly' gold mine, which at present has only a few men working. The guide told us that they do not be- long to the union and only receive 31.55 an hour. We went down 1000 feet in a cage which held about nine people, and then went back into the mine about 1800 feet. The guide was very helpful answering all our questions, and pointing out interesting facts concerning mining. After eating lunch we set out for Royd. Gorge. This trip took us about 20 miles through Phantom Canyon, a very scenic and picturesque mountain drive. In many places -there was room for only one can with sheer cliffs rising hundreds of feet above us. We had planned to make a tour of the state pen at Canyon City, but arrived there after visiting hours, so left immediately for Royal G rge.0f course, one of the main points of interest here was the magnificient suspension bridgeyhidn the braver ones walked across. Later we returned and visited the curio shops and cafe. About sundown we returned to Canyon City, where we enjoyed a delicioulchick- en dinner. That evening some went to shows or roller skating. Monday norning we left the Acacia about 9 o'clock and visited the Garden of the Gods. Here the giant rocks had taken many fantastic forms and shapes. Here we admired th beauty of the mountains and visited the Curio Shop at Hidden Inn.
