Seetiox The graduates of 1956 departed for Yellowstone Park and other points of interest on the morning following graduation, namely. May 26. They traveled in three cars and were accompanied by several parents and teachers. Since Gardiner was the destination for the first night's stay the caravan set a rather lei- surely pace, stopping at Lewistown, Big Timber, Livingston and Chico Hot Spring. At the latter stop the graduates enjoyed a swim in the indoor pool. Very comfortable and rest in- viting cabins were secured at the Jim Bridger Tourist Court in Gardiner. Early the next morning the smell of fried bacon and hot cakes soon aroused the slumber- ing students to consciousness. After a hearty breakfast prepared by the adult members of the party the caravan entered the park for a very busy and interesting day. The grand loop was travelled except for Dunraven Pass and Tower Falls where the road was still blocked by win- ter's snow. Stops at Mammoth Hot Springs, Upper and Lower Geyser Basin, West Thumb, Lake and Canyon made this a very busy day. The stops were numerous so as to study the wild life, scenery, and the many oddities that Yellowstone Park is noted for. Camera fiends had a field day. A tired but happy group returned to Gardiner for the evening. After an- other fine home-cooked meal the group attended a movie and called it a day. The third day took the group through to West Yellowstone, on to historic Virginia City, then through the Lewis and Clark Cavern, west of Three Forks and on to Winifred. A trip such as this, that covers so large an area in so short a time cannot begin to do justice to the many, many beauty spots and places of interest along the way but it is hoped that it will kindle a desire and an urge to go again and to make many trips about this won- derland called the West.
