To end the day they attend- ed a moonlight dance on a river boat with two other bands. Ex- hausted, they returned to the hotel for a good night's sleep. The second day the band watched the field competition. After the field shows were com- pleted, the bands practiced for the evening's mass band perfor- mance. When the practice was over, many ate lunch, went swim- ming, talked to fellow band mem- bers, and caught up on sleep at the hotel. That evening the band returned to the exhibition to par- ticipate in the mass band show, and then returned to the hotel. The morning of the last day, after eating breakfast, the band packed, checked out all but two rooms, and got dressed for the pa- rade. When the parade finally came to an end, the band loaded on the bus and returned to the ho- tel for a final swim in the pool. After the swim, they headed home. The ride home was a quiet one with lots of sleeping. The band ar- rived home on a Monday morning, tired, but with lots of memories of the weekend behind them. When asked what she thought of the trip, Coleen Chance, sophomore, said, lt was an exciting experience to go out of the country. l'd like to take another trip with the band sometime before I graduate. Chance's opportunity will be in 1985, when the band is planning another trip.

OPENING ' Og -sxv l Foe ii a Marching Band by Lesa Martlnek After months of raising money, planning, practicing, and working hard, the day had finally arrived. The 92-piece marching band, con- sisting of junior and senior high students, headed for the Red River Festival in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The 10 chaperones that went along were: Mr. and Mrs. Harold Jessop, Mrs. Linda Moeckle, Miss Jan Patton, Mrs. Linda Corp, Mr. and Mrs. Kendall Phelps, Mr. and Mrs. Van Hawkins, and Mrs. Pam Earl. When the two charter buses ar- rived at 6:30 p.m., the loading of equipment and luggage began. lt was a real mess getting loaded: it seemed like everyone in the town was there. I was surprised that we left at the scheduled time, said Band Director Kendall Phelps. The band traveled through the the night, stopped only to change drivers and refuel. The first stop was the next morning at 7 am. when the band stopped in South Dakota for breakfast. After eating, they journeyed on to the Canadian border, and then proceeded to Winnipeg. The band arrived at the hotel ready to jump into the first shower they saw. They soon found this impossible because they were two hours early and could not check into the hotel for another hour. With an extra hour to spare, the band ate lunch and then returned to the hotel and was able to check in. The remain- der of the day was spent swim- ming and observing the new sur- roundings. After the band rose at 6:30 am., breakfast was served in the hotel basement. They then attended the concert competition. The band could not place in any of the con- tests because of the Kansas State High School Activities Association rule that all bands in Kansas can- not be ranked or cannot compete 200 miles from the Kansas border. The rest of the day was filled with a tour of the Canadian Mint and a visit at the reconstruction of Lower Fort Gary. The tour of Lower Fort Gary was really interesting and l While in Canada, band finds oven temperatures that cause heat sickness to some students Summer Working most teenagers voyage out into the working world to help finance themselves. This summer was no excep- tion. Many students took jobs close to home, while others took the risk and got jobs in Topeka. Others worked this summer farm- ing with their fathers or grandfathers. Some farm boys stayed in the area while other farm boys No matter what job stu- dents had, it was a source of income and a source of experience. Working hard or hardly work- ing?
