The trophy is a model of the Red River oxcart, suitably engraved with the facts of the competition award. Gerald Meuli, director of the band, said today that by virtue of its placement in the invitational contest, Omro band marched in the honor spot in the exhibition parade i Winnipeg Sunday, carrying the parade banner which went with the trophy.

Omro band, competing with others from the Dakotas, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky and Minnesota, scored well in concert also, placing fourth among 11 and getting 279 points of a possible 300. The top band scored 294. Meuli said one of the things that cost the band a better position in concert was the fact that it played too loudly for the acoustical qualities of the hall. Seventy-eight playing members of the band left Omro last Wednesday for the Canadian invitational meet, accompanied by 16 adults and bus drivers. They traveled in three charter buses and stayed at a motel near the exhibition grounds in Winnipeg.

Ripon Dureaa Boys State was a-go-go every minute they were here.

The college campus teemed with T-shirted, white-capped youths, busily dashing hither and yon. There was something for everyone music, athletics, study, marches, parades, sports, meals and snacks and they seemed to enjoy it all. So much so, in fact, that several talked with Val Ove, camp director, about becoming assistant counselors next year. Two said they want to go into politics as Bill Steiger did. Bill who was elected governor in 1955, spoke to the assembly when they first arrved.

The four nurses who come every year said they treated as many as 30 boys a day. Two boys who came to Boys State to gain something instead lost something a tooth apiece while engaged in playing touch football. Two Ripon lads did well in law classes Wally Milbrandt with a cum laude and Bob Bredahl with honor. Steven Limbach played cornet in the band and was defeated for supreme court justice. Jeff Trader, Menasha, also had a "with honor" grade in law.

The boys were advised of service programs available through college ROTC programs. Among the consultants was Lt. Col. Max Vancil of the Ripon College military. The Lum Memorial Plaque will be given to Mt.

I went to a strawberry festival Friday morning at the Odd Fellows Hall and who should come in but Mrs. Ken Beger, wife of assistant dean of counselors.

Each of us was alone so we joined forces over a cup of coffee and strawberries. The six Ripon boys had the shortest trip home. Tim Hayes just went down the hill on Elm. A fine tribute was paid to Edgar Zobel, focnder of the Boys State Band and its director for 15 years. Since he could not go to the band, it went to him at his Watson Street home and played a rousing number just for him.

Our little AFS girl, Silvia Orlando, leaves for her home in Argentina Thursday and on Tuesday will be given a farewell party by the student and adult chapter members. Among her possessions already sent home ahead of her is a scrapbook just loaded with pictures and news stories of her activities since her arrival here last August. The luggage was so heavy they had to get some steel bands from Speed Queen to be sure it was securely bound for the long trip. Silvia was Ripon's first AFS student and we found her to be sweet and friendly and happy to be in her adopted city. In turn we were delighted to have her and are sorry it is time for her to leave.

It is rumored next year's AFS student will be a boy and the adoptive family has been approved by the New York office. After the happy experience of welcoming a "peachy" girl, we all look forward to a similar deal with the new boy. We just received word that Ferber Bailey, whose wife Ruth was my girlhood friend in Cran-don, died in Stockton, Calif. The Baileys were one of the original couples who made the trek to Matanuska Valley on a government experiment in 1935 to colonize Alaska. They moved back to the states some years ago but a daughter still lives in Anchorage.
