Show Band Members Enjoy Day At Lagoon By Maxihe Taylor After enjoying a highly successful summer, going places and doing a lot of things, the American Fork high school band concluded the season sea-son with a trip to Lagoon last Friday. Fri-day. Now I admit when the band parades pa-rades before you, all decked out in flashy red and white, they all look the perfect picture of dignified children, chil-dren, but when they go out just to have a good time well, that is an altogether different story. Oh my yes! Last Friday at 2 o'clock, we hopped into our waiting bus and prepared to leave. Mr. Bird had just given us a quarter each from the city which was to entitle us to a free swim and we were in the heighth of our glory. If you have ever had anything given to you free you can understand what a gleeful bunch we were. Why, with the nickle we each brought from home we could spend days at the resort! Well, the bus was just starting up when here came Mr. Bird again, and guess what he had this time. You'll never guess, so I'm going to tell you quick a brand new dollar bill for each of us, with compliments from the Poultry day committee. Well, I'm asking you, did excitement reign for the next few minutes? It most certainly did. When we settled set-tled down we were just leaving Murray Mur-ray in our dust. The trip up was fairly quiet. Each one of us was trying to figure out how we could possibly spend all that money in one day. After arriving we all made for different places and things so I can't make an exact report, butup-on butup-on looking around when leaving I-could I-could see that everything had been used. The toboggan slides were worn thin, the giant racer rattled something awful, and the fun house was a total wreck. We concluded the day by dancing in that grand dance hall to Eddie Brunholt's orchestra and although we country folks felt a little awed by the city dudes and their fancy "trucking" and "Big Apple", we managed to hold our own. Did we have a good time? Did we enjoy ourselves? Did we try everything? every-thing? Did we eat 'till we were all afflicted with indigestion the next day? We surely did! And we want to thank the city and Poultry day committee for a grand time. We all surely did appreciate it and we wish to take this opportunity to tell them so. o |
