We were sophomores then: A photograph from the April 19, 1962 issue of The Panther's Tale showing a modern dance class.  (Submitted by Carole Ast-Clyne).

Another article indicated that we had just gone to school on a Saturday (April 14). I don't remember that.. must have been to make up a snow day or something.

sign-64a.jpg (7458 bytes) In August, 1964, just before we went to WSU, Joe Lawrence, Ronnie Rivers and Mike Everhart got in Joe's '55 Chevy and took off for Colorado Springs.  It was hot (105 in Wichita) when we left Kansas. Ronnie was wearing cut-offs and a T-shirt.  The next day, it was freezing, with blowing snow, when we reached Royal Gorge. Wonderful welcome to Colorado! The second thing we noticed was that you could see the river 1300 feet below through the gaps in the wooden planking that was used on the bridge. Eerie!!!

Here Joe and Ronnie wait in the car while I take their picture, sitting thirteen hundred feet above the Arkansas River. Shortly after this picture was taken, a souvenir was 'borrowed' from the flags used as decorations on the bridge.

flag-64a.jpg (6906 bytes) Here are Ronnie and Lee showing off a Washington State Flag.  In the background is the U.S. Air Force Academy. We left from here and made it back to Wichita alive, and in time for classes. Must have been some deja vu involved, 'cause last I heard, Ronnie was still in Washington.......
