In the first step of our journey, Hilding Bjorklund was chief canoe carrier, Gladys Creech, scribe, Gladys Nelson, chief bill collector, and joe Hussey, council member. Gerry McCabe and Tom Fuller took turns as paddle carriers. In the course of this step we were initiated into the Royal Order of Fur Carriers. Delores Croft was chosen to represent us in the Royal Beauty Contest. fHomecoming.j The second step of the journey was reached and we continued on our way. During this step of the journey, joe Hussey was chief canoe carrier, james Hill, assistant canoe carrierg Lizabeth Backlund, scribeg Kathy Kenna, chief bill collectorg and james Walker, council member. j. Paul johnson and Violet Hansey were chief paddle carriers. joAnn Brazell represented us in the Royal Beauty Contest. The Voyageurs, climbing steadily, reached the third l 8 step. The chief canoe carrier was james Walkerg assist- ant canoe carriei, james Blackwell, scribe, Gladys Creech, chief bill collector, Lizabeth Backlundg and council mem- ber, joe Hussey. The chief paddle carriers were Charles McCoy and Ruth Blackwell. Gladys Nelson represented us in the Royal Beauty Contest. During one portage of this journey we stopped for rest and entertainment. The enter- tainment took the form of a farce comedy just Ducky un- der the direction of Charles McCoy and in the hands of a very worthy cast and staff. Continuing along this step we encountered the 1951 Voyageurs in their journey and bid them come to the Lusten Resort where we served them a luscious banquet, during which many line speeches were made. After the meal, everyone adjourned to the dance floor where we danced to the music of a line orchestra and to the theme of Moonlight and Roses. We then stepped out and said good-bye to our old friends, the 1951 Voyageurs. l
