The first semes- ter Vernon King, Gerald Claudon, and Mary Schwager were the three man- agers. ln September the cowboys and girls stopped at Tourist Park tor a Wiener roast. The second semester the managers were relieved of their work by Marjorie Lahn, Mildred Skaggs, and Eudora Bunge. ln May they stopped at Asper's Grove for a picnic. ln june the cowboys and girls stopped at a Ranch for a three months' vacation. One term was not enough for them to learn to use the rope accurately so they came back again on August Sl, 1936. Miss Barth and Mr. jenson were the two foremen. Mildred Skaggs, john Vercler, Martha Reis, and Harold Morris were the managers. At the William Gentes Ranch they took time out for a Hallowe'en party.

As the cowboys and girls were getting tired of riding so long, in May they stopped in Pontiac where they went to a skating party. In june they stopped for another three months' vacation. After a three months vacation they all came galloping back, swinging their ropes and ready for work. Their new toremen were Miss lohnson and Mr, Perdue. Bernice Gentes, Harold Morris, Iohn Vercler, and Lucas Buttry were the managers for the first half of the year. On Community Fair Day, because they were running low on expense money, they sold chances on a five dollar bill. They also won second place on the float they made. On November 24, the cowboys and girls stopped long enough to buy their class rings and pins. The second semester Mary Schwager, Ruth Ringenberg, Mildred Rathbun, and Rozella Oltman were chosen for the managers. ln june the cowboys and girls reached the third destination of their journey through Chenoa High Ranch. Three more months of vacation, They were getting to be quite experts at slinging the rope.
