cent double-ring cere-
monies in St. Joseph’s
Catholic Church here,
Miss Jo Ann Fite, became
the bride of Larry Paul

fornia, formerly of Pan-
handle.
Parents of the couple
are Mr. and Mrs. Euel
B. Fite, Soncy Road,

S. Pullen, Amarillo.
The Rev. Joseph Tash
performed the ceremony.
Mrs. Pullen attended
St. Scholastica’s Acade-
my in Fort Smith, Ark.*
and St. Mary’s Academy
in Amarillo. Her husband
attended Panhandle and
Tascosa High Schools and
is now serving with the
navy at Alameda.
This was a most suc-
cessful and pleasant trip,
according to the girls and
sponsors.
Clyde Pannell drove the
Panhandle Girl Scout Bus
pulling an eight foot trail-
er for a t o t a 1 of 3,740
miles. The bus, a used
school pruchased from
the Panhandle Independ-
ent School District in
1958, m$de good time with
excellent performance.
Two minor problems
did occur regarding the
bus. The second day of the
trip it was necessary to
replace the battery and
the fifth day, it was nec-
essary to replace one of
the brake cylinders.
Each repair was made
during a night stop and no
time was lost.
The first stop was June
27 at Vinita, Okla., where
the group spent the night
in a hotel. Sunday morn-
ing the group attended
church service in
Springfield, Mo., and tra-
veled on to Pacific, Mo.,
to spend the night as a
motel.
Monday was a more
eventfull day as the group
crossed the Mississippi
River at St. Louis, Mo.,
over the Chain of Rocks
Bridge. For many in the
group it was their first
sight of the river.
That night the group
was guests in the Green-
field, Ind., Girl Scout
House, an old, well-kept
two-story home, kept by
the City of Greenfield for
their Girl Scouts.
The scouts swam at the
Riley Park Swimming
Pool in Greenfield. The
pool was built near the
“01’ Swimmin’ Hole.”
Tuesday, the group was
honored with a picnic on
the lawn of the Mr. and
Mrs. Morley Kemper
home after the touring
group had checked into a
motel. Special guests at
the picnic were Mr. and
Mrs. John Glenn Sr., pa-
rents of Astronaut John
Glenn, Jr.
Preceeding the picnic,
the group toured the town
where they saw the new
John Glenn High School
and Muskingum College
where the new gymnaisum
has been dedicated to As-
tronaut Glenn.
At the picnic were the
Panhandle group, the exe-
cutive Girl Scout direc-
tor from Zanesville, five
Ohio senior scouts, the
John Glenn Sr., and the
hosts.
Wednesday the group
reached the Pennsylvania
Turnpike and arrived at
Bedrofd, Pa., where they
spent the night at a mo-
tel. A trip to the laun-
dromat and a picnic sup-
per at the municipal park
filled the evening.
July 1, the touring
scouts arrived in Wash-
ington, D.C. Visited in the
area of the Nation’s Capi-
tal were Baltimore, Md.,
and Fort McHenry near
which the Star Spangled
Banner was written; the
United States Naval Aca-
demy at Annopolis, where
they were not permitted
to enter because of the bus
and trailer and the Mary-
land state house.
The streets around the
square where the state
house was located were so
narrow and with the cars
parked on each side of the
street, Pannell proved he
could take the bus through
a passage with only in-
ches to spare.
Parking the bus in Wa-
shington was the biggest
problem, but the opera-
tor of a private parking
lot permitted the bus to
be parked on the lost for
36 hours for $9 and free
the remainder of the holi-
day week-end. The group
traveled around the na-
tion’ a capital on city bus-
ses and walked on sight
seeing tours.
Points of interest vi-
sited in Washington, D.C.,
included the capitol build-
ing, the Library of Con-
gress, the national arch-
ives and the national art
gallery July 3. The scouts
were attired in their uni-
forms during the sight-
seeing tour.
In the evening , the
group visited the Smith-
sonian Institute. The
group agreed that they
could spend a week there
but in a couple of hours
spent, they saw a number
of innovations in science
as well as what they des-
cribed as never-to-be-
forgotten visit to the Spi-
rity of St. Louis, the Kitty
Hawk and other priceless
relics of the past.
July 4 was spent in a
visit to the White House,
the Washington Monu-
ment, and Arlington Na-
tional Cemetery where
they saw the grave of Pre-
sident John Kennedy along
with thousands of other
Americans and interna-
tional tourists. While in
Arlington National Ceme-
tery, the Panhandle
scouts and leaders visi-
ted the Tomb of the Un-
known Soilder and saw the
changing of the guards,
and went through the Cur-
tis-Lee Mansion located
a hill’s level higher than
President’s Kennedy’s
grave in Arlington
Cemetery.
The scouts did not have
an opportunity to see Pre-
sednt Johnson, Congress-
man Walter Rogers or
Senator John Tower, as
all were out of town for
the July 4 week end.
The evening of July 4
was spent in a crowd on
the monument grounds for
the annual Independence
Day celebration. Music
for the program was fur-
nished by the Uni ted
States Marine Corps
Band. The group said they
considered the Flag Pa-
rade a thrill as well as
the program of music and
speech making which fol-
lowed. High winds cur-
tailed the fireworks dis-
play.
July 5, the scouts and
their escorts checked out
of the hotel and were in
Alexandria, Va., by 10
a.m. at Christ’s Church,
an Episcopalian Church
erected from 1767 to 1773
and which was attended by
George Washington and
Robert E. Lee whose pews
are marked. The group
toured the church yard
and saw its old grave-
stones and read the names
and dates. The Panhandle
group attended church
services in the church
and sat in the Washington
and Lee pews.
After in dinner in the
George Washington Club,
the group spent the after-
noon at Mr. Vernon. After
waiting in line about an
hour, the group toured the
mansion they spent the
reaminder of the time
looking around the
grounds.
The touring group spent j
Sunday night at Freder- j
icksburg, Va., then jour- j
ned on the Williamsburg j
the next day, stoping en- j
route at St. John’s Chruch
in Richmond to see the
spot where Patrick Henry
■delivered his “liberty or
death” ortation.
The group’s stay at
Williamsburg was called
“an interesting reliving
of American history and
colonial and revolu-
colonial and revolution-
ary times.”
“Besides being a beau-
tiful place, it is practi-
cally the birthplace of our
American democracy,”
the group said.
Time prevented the
group from visiting the
Jamestown Festival
Grounds but they did go
to Jamestown before the
grounds opened for the
day and view the replicas
of three ships.
At Norfolk, Va., the wo-
men and girls stayed at
the YWCA and the men
at the YMCA. The group
visited Virginia Beach
near Norfolk and the
scouts and Deryal Pan-
nell had a swim in the
Atlantic Ocean.
July 19, the group star-
ted its return trip to Pan-
handle.
The first evening of the
return trip was spent at
Girl Scout Camp Sacaja-
wea near Lynchburg, Va.
A group of local Girl
Schouts and their mo-
thers assisted in getting
the touring scouts settl-
ed. The evening meal was
a cook-out and the group
slept in tents. A rain
helped break the heat
wave and the group drove
in some rain almost evey
day until they reached Ok-
lahoma City, Okla.
At Briston, Va., the
group stayed in dormi-
tory rooms at Intermount
College, a Virginia Bap-
tist Girls School. As
school was not in ses-
sion, the group had free
use of the seimming pool
and the student center
where they ate a picnic
supper.
July 10, the group ar-
rived at Cookevillie.
Tenn., where they had
the free use of Park-
view Gymnasium for
sleeping accomindations.
The municipal swim-
ming pool, a park adja-
cent to the gymnasium.
They stayed in Cooke-
ville provided entertain-
ment and accommoda-
tions with no expense.
Mrs. Joe Scott, Girl Scout
neighbordood chairman,
made the arrangements
as she did six years ago
when a group of Panhand-
le Girl Scouts made a
tour of the east coast and
stayed in Cookeville.
On the way to Memphis,
Tenn., the next stop, the
group stopped at Vander-
bilt University in Nash-
ville and visited with Mr.
and Mrs. Claude Zeverly,
Danny and Kent. Zevely is
principal of Panhandle
Elementary School and is
studying at George Pea-
body College for nine
weeks this summer.
After staying in a mo-
tel in Memphis Saturday
night, the group crossed
the Mississippi River and
traveled to Forest City,
Ark., where they attend-
ed church service.
By night fall they had
arrived at Spiro, Okla.,
where sleeping accom-
modations were provided
in the basement of the
First Baptist Church.
Supper and breakfast the
next morning were in the
home of the pastor, the
Rev. Ted Ewing, a brother
of Miss Mary Ewing and
Miss Marjorie Ewing.
The final 400 mile leg
of the trip to Panhandle
was completed Monday

publically thank Mr. and
Mrs. Pannell for making
this trip possible. We
