Used Truck Bought
The youths will have traveled
12.000 miles when they arrive
back home. On their trip wesl
they toured through the United
States in a second-hand truck
that they bought back in Penn
sylvania. They boarded the Pri
nce Rupert at Vancouver, B. C.,
j second class “to cut expenses’’,
i but they are having a swell time
! They have part of the ship al
most to themselves.
-After going north to Skagway
they will return to Vancouver
pick up he ruck, and tour mor<
of the United States. On the way
back home they will visit sorm
of the national parks.
The trip is costing each boy
approximately $50.00 in additior
to his share earned in growing
the crop as the 48-day tour is ex
! pected to cost each boy about $1
a day.
SEND LETTERS HOME
While in Ketchikan the boys
formed a vertiable parade as they
carried letters to the postoffice to
be sent home to their mothers.
Edwin A. Rice, supervisor of
agriculture at the school that has
an average enrolment of 95 girls
and boys, explained that every
boy in the school gets to take at
least one trip during his high
school term. Each of the trips is
financed by groups of boys, un
der guidance, raising crops and
selling them to nearby canneries.
Mr. Rice said that in the six
teen years he has been leading
the boys on summer trips he has
gone approximately 50,000 miles
—twice around the world at the
equator. The first trip taken by
students from the school was on
ly 300 miles long.—Ketchikan
