XXVII NUMBER 3 Lehi Riding Club Receives High Parade Homers (yy AVvl The Lehi Sun Presents The Personality of the Week A man whose genial and friendly personality has been the basis of the success of the Lehi Riding club, and who has won a permanent spot in the hearts of each of its members, is R. B. Worlton. Since the organization of the club, he has served as its president. presi-dent. A great lover of the out-of-doors, his fame as a superb camp cook has spread far and wide, and many an important canyon outing has been made memorable with his art with the skillet and spoon. A few years ago, when a class in leather work was being taught here by Mr. Newton of Provo, he made a beautiful saddle. Later he acquired the horse that was to wear it. He is well known among nearly all age groups of the community, for he has been custodian in the Lehi schools for the past 20 years. He was born in Lehi sixty years ago last March 30, a son of John and Anna Brunelson Worlton, early converts of the church. His wife is the former Mabel Larsen, and to them were born four children: chil-dren: Dr. John Worlton, Idaho Falls, Idaho; Mrs. Boyd (Jean) Johnson, . Ogden; Mrs. Alvin (Pauline) Woolschleger, Salt Lake City; and Russell Worlton, who died several years ago. They have four grandchildren. While practicing with the Riding Rid-ing club for their appearance at the 1945 roundup celebration, he was stricken with an illness that has prevented his active, participation partici-pation with the grpup.

Young Doctor Gets Position At Geneva Competing with some 2000 horses considered the best in intermoun-tain intermoun-tain territory, the Lehi Riding Club came out with high honors, July 24, when they were awarded second place in the horse section of the giant parade held Wednesday morning morn-ing in Salt Lake's "Days of '47" celebration. cel-ebration. Judges were Mrs. Glenna Ward, Miss Lorna Taylor, W. O. Robinson, Ranch Kimball, ' Dr. Lowell Lees and Allen Seegmiller. The wild acclaim of the huge crowd made it a memorable occa sion, for the group were well re ceived by the crowds, estimated at 75,000. Winning an award came as distinct surprise, however, for several members interviewed re ported they knew nothng of it until reading the paper next morning. Placed near the center, in the body of the parade, they continued on to Liberty Park in the down-pouring down-pouring rain. "And did we get wet!" they say. Twenty-one members, attired at-tired in their natty uniforms of trim western style, rode in the parade, led by their captain, Elliott El-liott Smith. Their horses, always well cared for, were highly groom ed for the occasion, performing well under the stress of the performance. The many hours of drill and training train-ing have gradually made possible this achievement. The success of this group may be attributed at least partly to a set of rules drawn up for their use. Members must own horses and equipment. They must be present at meetings and practices. If absent ab-sent six times, a man will be brought before the board of directors direct-ors for explanation, and may be dropped from the club. This rule applies to the officers as well as other members. In a trip such as the one taken to Salt Lake City, the transportation of horses is a considerable problem for so large a group, but tne men are wining ai cooperation.

Space has been reserved in the Lehi Band Leads Pioneer Day Parade The spectacular panorama of the 2 mile long "Days of '47" parade held in Salt Lake City on Pioneer Day, July 24, depicting every scene of pioneering activity from the old prospector trundling along with his old donkey, to the most elaborate of futuristic floats, and judged the most tremendous undertaking of its kind yet held in Utah, was led by the Lehi High School band. Lehi citizens, cheering themselves hoarse amid the throngs of enthusiastic enthus-iastic spectators, were at a loss to know just why, although they felt it must be because Lehi's band was the best. Other ideas were because they were called Pioneers, or that the purple and wljite uniforms are so striking. If anyone really wants to know they should ask Frank W. Shaw, director, for when it comes to handling young musicians, Mr. Shaw, like "my Willie" can accomplish accom-plish anything. Not intending to en ter the band, he was persuaded into doing so by the insistance of the general parade chairman, Joseph Chandler, an old school friend. Luckiest break of all, reports Mr. Shaw, was that they missed the rain, pulled out of the line of march at Ninth South and State streets, the entire group obtained shelter 1 park at Springville for Lehi."1 a iar&e garage.
