World April Trumbo sees the World—At least a good part of it Garfield County High School was in closer contact with the rest of the world this year than ever before. We have access, through our video recorder and Ronnie and ifeggy Stanton's satellite dish, to over 100 TV stations from 13 ' satellites. Also Mid-Rivers Co-op has in- stalled cable TV in Jordan. (See tower below.) Another way we learned about the world was through the School Assemblies Program. One of the most interesting was Professor Dee Jay Nelson talking about Egypt. (See picture at lower right.) One student actually was able to visit another part of the world. April Trumbo spent a month in Japan with some other students from Montana. The purpose of their visit was to promote friend- ship be ween the two states -- Montana and Kumamoto. (At right is a picture of April while in Japan.) 17

Out of this primary election, the top two ani; mals were voted on in a general election. The two animals on the ballot were the grizzly bear and the elk, with the grizzly win- ning the most votes for state animal.
