The early part of the trip lies through the foot hills near Denver, an area quite familiar to the members of South High School's Rebel Rangers. As we drive along, songs of every descrip- tion, games and the happy chatter of thirty-five boys and girls starting for a week-end camping trip, fill the bus. Arriving at our destination about noon, lunches which have been prepared at home, are eaten. Then, places where they expect to sleep at night are chosen and beds are prepared. On this trip, we have the opportunity of sleeping in real Indian tepees on beds of pine needles gathered from the nearby forest. While the beds are being made, a part of the group go for a horseback ride under the leadership of an old cowboy who is an expert teacher. Others of the group gather wood, and still others engage in a game of football or baseball, as their tastes dictate. During the afternoon everyone obtains a chance to spend some time on the back of a good Western horse.

Following breakfast, the bed rolls are made and loaded in the truck, and by that time our host arrives with sufficient Indian head bonnets and Indian equipment to dress the entire group in the fascinating, colorful dress of the first inhabitants of our country. Several hours are spent in learning Indian dances and songs from our most able teacher. Then for a hearty dinner of steak, salad, pie and fixings, and the return trip is started. Thus, a large group of boys and girls of South High School have sjjent a week-end that they will never forget as long as they live. Organized seven years ago. the "Rebel Rangers" now niunber one hundred picked boys and girls from the student body of South High School. During the school year, the group makes about three thousand miles in the big Ranger bus, going to many of the scenic and historic spots in Colorado for days of happy enjoyment and the finest kind of "visual and sensory education." Every year, a trip is made to the famous Carlsbad Caverns located seven hundred and fifty miles from Denver in the southeast corner of New Mexico. En- route to Carlsbad, the Rangers visit such places of
