A satisfactory agreement seemed impossibleg but, through the efforts of Mother, a happy medium was reached Father, Mother, and Jane spent an enjoyable day in the woods, after which they went to town and saw the fire- works. Jane later admitted she had a good time, and Willard looked his nicest that fine morning when he steps ped into his car, which conveyed him and Lillian to Silver Lake.

The only white people were a few homesteaders, the soldiers at Fort Birdseye, and the prospectors and trappers roaming the hills. The Indians had for some time been growing more and more sullen so the whites had to be very cautious or they might start the redskins on the warpath. f This was the delicate situation when four men, Judge Gall and his brother Scott with William Runnels and William Ewing, started on a prospecting trip up Sardine Creek.

Ruth and I went in the M back of a one-seats car without a rumble seat. -J Although we were going fast, it seemed twice as fast as riding in the front seat. We thought it would be cold but it was nice and warm. When we reached the Ashland gymnasium we began to get scared because we did not know what door to go in. But we finally got inside and a man told us where there were some seats. The gymnasium was so big lit had two floors! and so crowded that I walked right past my brother and d1dn't see him. It was very hard to watch the game because there were so many whistles blowing and so much scrambling on the floor. we sat right in back of one of the baskets and every two minutes one of the players would land in our laps or the basket ball would hit us. Once I was looking over in the opposite court when the basket ball bounced off my head. It scared me and when I saw the people laughing, it made my face turn red. By the time that Gold Hill started to play I was just about ready to go to sleep. But I surely was wide awake after the game started because it was so exciting. At the end of the first half we were about two baskets ahead and eager to add to our lead. During the second half, Riverton kept only one basket behind. There were quite a few fouls called on Riverton at the very last of the game. I held my breath as Gold Hill took their free shots. If they hadn't made those baskets we would have lost the game. The game ended with a score of 19 to 20 in Gold Hi1l's favor. I was so happy and so sleepy coming home that I didn't even feel the bumps in the car! . c --Jill Martin '40 -1.-11-.--5-p--1-mann-nan.-.-.-annum-11 --..... rt Ln-U.1'1:v-nun-scrub.-1-1-11111.---1-.uoaneqt-can-:sauna 1 w 4 W w N W Q 4 M w e e e e s e e s e e e e e 4 e s s e C1-9. il-
