After five days of hiking over all sorts of terrain while being on constant alert for bears and moose, going over a swinging rope bridge, packing out each and every item packed in, the final sight of the train which would take them back to the start point was a welcome sight. Be-Wise scholarship winners Allie Myers and Shanna Raj from Marlington Middle School. Hostesses for the evening were Maralee Gruey, Mildred Grossman and Jean Krahling. The April meeting will be at the YWCA on April 19, with the program presented by Alliance Municipal Court Judge Robert Lavery.
