They took seven hikes in all consisting in three 3-mile hikes, a four, five, six and seven mile hike. The seven mile hike was to Olds and each member wanting to take this one, was required to take four others. Twenty-three out of the twenty-seven were qualified to take this one. A jolly good time was enjoyed by all who went on these hikes and the girls think they received great benefits from them. They at least sharpened their appetites. Page Sixty-three- ft

g THE • ECLIPSE 1922 ) Transportation Department With the advent of consolidation came the problem of transporta- tion. The board of education decided to buy three motor busses and these busses had very few tardy marks to their discredit during the school term, even while the roads at times seemed impassible. Eighty-two children were brought in from the rural districts by these hacks every morning and what a bright happy group of rural children they were, too. There were no more wet feet nor frozen fin- gers and ears, with the tears running down their cheeks as in the days of old, when they greeted their teacher in the morning. Some of us are often opposed to a new movement just as our par- ents were opposed at first to the rural free delivery of mail, the rural telephone and the automobile. But these conveniences have established themselves with such a firm grip upon the farmer folks that they would fight to the last trench were they to be deprived of them. The same state of affairs will come about with the motor busses when we get accustomed to the new role. Fred Klopfenstein, Carl Hensley and Fred Hixson were the congen- ial drivers and piloted their precious cargoes over the routes thru- out the year without an accident. Frank Forbes also brought in eleven children from the Cottonwood district in a horse drawn hack. The boys and girls from the rural districts have enjoyed the same educational advantages that their town cousins have and will long re- member the first year of consolidation of our schools from the stand- point of transportation.
