20th Annual Rodeo Club hosts three-day NIRA event The 20th Annual Inter- collegiate Rodeo was held May 1-3 at the Finney County Fairgrounds and was sponsered by the Rodeo Club. Friday and Saturday's events were in the evening and the finals were Sunday afternoon. The total cost of producing the rodeo was between 54,000 and 155,000 The money was raised by Rodeo Club members through program advertisement sales, conces- sions and ticket sales. Each contestant paid an average entry fee of S38. The entry fees were later used for prize money. Out of the 378 contestants there were 435 entries in the events offered. The rough stock events included bareback, saddle bronc, and bull riding. Roping events were calf-roping and breakaway roping. In addition there was steer wrestling, goat tying, and barrel racing. The rodeo action broke for a chicken chase and pig scram- ble. Area elementary children participated in those two events. I thought the rodeo went real smoothly. I was real pro- ud of the rodeo members for breakaway, and 31470 for baf- their outstanding effort, said rel racing- Norman Staats, Rodeo Club out Of Kansas and sponser. Twenty-three schools par- ticipated in the rodeo in- cluding Kansas State Univer- sity, Panhandle State Univer- sity, and Fort Hays State University. Entries from GCCC were Gina Bender, in barrel racing, Ellie Overton, also in barrel racing, Blaine Crocker, team roping and Todd Taylor in bull riding. The competition at the junior college level is extrem- ly tough, our students are competing with juniors and seniors from four-year col- leges, Staats said. The winner of the Men's Team Trophy was Panhandle State University and Southwestern Oklahoma State University won the Women's Team Trophy. All- Around Cowboy was Vernon Gardner of KSU and All- Around Cowgirl was Donelle Kvenild of SWOSU. Prize money ranged from S650 for bareback to the final events which included S930 for goat tie, S1350 for Oklahoma the top two finishers went to nationals in Montana in june.

Celebrating 10th Anniversary OEA wins top awards at state Members of the Office Education Association celebrated it's tenth year by bringing home top awards in several categories at state competition. Four girls participated in the Spring Leadership Con- ference of the Office Educa- tion Association at Wichtia. Sandra Buell placed first in Keyboarding, a typing com- petition completed during class and mailed to the judge to be graded. Buell was employed by accountant, Shirley Messenger. Stephanie Skipper placed first in Office Support Assis- tant. She was given a series of tasks such as typing, taking messages and simple math. She was employed at Taylor Bs Associates, Consulting Engineers. Constance Winkler placed third in Administrative Assis- tant, third in Extemporaneous Communication, an un- prepared speech on a chosen subject, and sixth in Prepared Verbal Communications. Winkler was employed at the college business labs. Lucinda Henson placed se- cond in Office Support, third in Keyboarding, and was employed at the Garden City Recreation Commission. OEA placed all the girls at their jobs. According to Marsha Bayless, sponsor, OEA was very practical even for people who weren't thinking of business careers. It taught practical skills and helped train for a more professional job. When the girls are finished with their program, they usually stay with their jobs and work full time. Very few go on to a four year college, but the one's who do use their knowledge to get a higher pay- ing job to help with the ex- pense of college, Bayless said. Bayless had been teaching Office Education for 12 years. We do many activities and stress leadership, even if so- meone wants to work towards computers, I would recom- mend this progam, she said.
