 SENIOR SNEAK DAY, OR SNOWBOUND IN WORLAND Spirits were high as the seniors left for Cody chaperoned by Mr. Nick Moore and Mrs. Joe Genereaux. As they went through Shell Canyon, they stopped to admire the lovely falls and climb on the rocks. The destination, Cody, was reached late in the afternoon. Motel facilities included a heated, indoor swimmingpool. After ashop- ping expedition, all hurried back to the motel and a before-dinner swim. Saturday they had a class dinner, and the manager of the res- taurant permitted them to take pictures with an art collection. Each of the pictures cost at least $1,000, and the seniors were very careful of their movements. (Bad luck with the film resulted in no pictures.) A tired but happy group started home on Sunday. A quick call to the Worland Highway Department proved that rapidly fal ling snow would stop them there. Monday was spent in Worland playing cards, games, and talking. Tuesday a second attempt was made to get home. It was de- cided to detour through Billings, since there had been a slide which blocked the highway at Tensleep. They left Worland at 8:00a.m. and were somewhat frustrated when they discovered at 2:00 p.m. they were 50 miles further from home than when they left Worland! After 12 hours of driving, the seniors arrived in Big Horn. All agreed home had never looked so good! Climb every mountain! To sleep, perchance to dream. A couple of cut-ups. Scrabble entertained Mrs. Genereaux, Thad, and Marie. Madamoiselle, Ken? The slide at Tensleep.

MARIE ANKNEY WON 4-H TRIP TO CHICAGO Jim Nabors (Gomer Pyle) and Marie Marie Ankney, Big Horn Senior, won an all expense paid trip to the National 4-H Congress in Chicago because of her out- standing record books. There were 1600 4-H members housed in the Conrad-HiIton. Marie reported it was interesting that the staff of the hotel spoke 30 different lan- guages. The 4-H Members were guests of many companies for breakfasts, dinners, and sup- pers. At each meal there was at least three different entertainers. Some of these were: The Serendipity Singers, Miss America, Purdue University Varsity Glee Club, Ginny Tiu Family, and Miss Teen Age America. Evening entertainment included the Chicago Symphony Orchestra's Pop Concert con- ducted by Dr. Arhtur Fiedler, the Live Stock Exposition, Cheetah, a night spot for teen- agers, and others. Tours were made to the Field Museum of Natural History, the Museum of Science and Industry, the Art Institute of Chicago, and tours of Chicago. One of the highlights for Marie was the banquet honoring the girls whose trips were sponsored by the General Foods Co. On Sunday morning the honors began for her. She had a personal TV interview with Gomer Pyle, and he gave her oneof his autographed albums. Later, she was a guest of a pro- fessional artist who sketched her picture. Marie met other 4-H members from every state in the United States and some from Puerto Rico. Of the 1600 there, she got to know over 200 of them. Marie said this was a trip she would never forget, and the greatest experience of my life. 12
