KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI C It took approximately 30 hours of travel by train, each way, to reach Kansas City. .I saw a lot of interesting country. I was impressed greatly by the vast corn fields and the large herds of beef cattle and hogs. This began to give me an idea of the enormous size of the United States. The United States is 400 times as large as the state of Vermont. The United States is about 22 times as large as Germany. My most pleasant experiences were talking with boys from about every state in the union. I talked at great lengthsn with boys from the Southern states about the great racial problem that exists there. I was surprised to find out that the negroes aren't mistreated half as badly as most Northerners think. I made especially good friends with a boy from Texas and a boy from Georgia. The boy from Texas was a roommate of mine. There were boys in the 1958 National FFA band from 44 dif- ferent states. I also met boys from 7 different countries. That's a lot of Christmas cards! Our Music Director was Doctor Henry S. Brunner, from Pennsylvania State University. I believe this name speaks for it- self ! When I reached Kansas City, we played almost constantly. When we weren't giving a confcert or marching, we were practicing. After our convention was over, we played for several country clubs for a few days. We had the honor of playing for the A-merican Royal Ball while the 1959 American Royal queen for the United States was crowned. Wow! We finished with a real bang, when we lead the American Royal parade on Saturday. We marched and played up and down about every street in Kansas City, and I know I had a hard time finding my way back to the hotel! We marched about 4 miles. The temperature was around 1000 F, and just -in case anyone is interested, this is about all it takes to work up a sweat!

The skiing it was perfect The skating too was fine, And the sliding it was slick In this great land of mine. Robert Maynard '62 Brian Button '5 9 WINTER - SPRING The winter is lonely The winter is cold The north Wind is blowing So blust'ry and bold Oh, joy when the spring comes It's joy for us all When flowers are blooming And birds gaily call Bonnie Roberts '62
