QL 15 :ua .a....l I :mem 5 llemiar SENNDR SNEAK On April third at 3 p.m. a caravan of six cars bid farewell to G. E. H. S' and headed for the Great West. The party broke into groups about 6:30 p.m. and supped at Hill City and Hoxie. After having considerable tire and other car trouble and combat- ing a heavy fog, the party arrived intermittently in Denver between 2:30 and 4:00 where we checked in at the De Soto Hotel. Friday morning found us at the top of the State Capitol Building. VVe were fortunate to visit the House of Representatives while in session. From there we visited the State Museum where many relics of interest were seen and the Art Gallery with its priceless oil paintings and other master- pieces created by artistic minds. Our excursion also included the U. S. Mint, where we were guided through the halls of this well-fortified building where we saw the minting process of different coins. Each had the privilege of lifting a 517,000 gold brick. Ahigh spot of this tour was the City Park with its Zoo and Museum of Natural History. Here we not only saw many different live animals in captivity, but also the skilled workmanship of 'raxidermists of placing nature's birds and beasts in their true setting of reality. In the evening the group attended the picture show, My Favorite Brunettef' Saturday morning it was announced on KOA that the Glen Elder Seniors were visiting the radio station while on their sneak.
