From Tour of
wild West
BY Rita Il. Elliott
Garden 1896

When 13-year-old Kern Wore
stepped off the plane bedecked in
dark glasses and white Stetson,
his parents Jane and Greg Wore,
hardly recognized their own son.
A boys dream had come true
when he was taken on a tour of
the wild West" during the
Christmas holidays.
With his chaperone, friend of
the family, they drove 5000 miles
in eight days on their way to Los
Angeles. Highlights of the trip in.
cluded a visit to Marineland, Dis
neyland, Salt Lake City, Colorado
and a tour to famed Scotty's Cas-
tie in Death Valley.
After four-day stay in Los
Angeles, Kern arrived back home
aboard a. TWA- Jet Stream which
also proved great adventure.
Gerry and Mike CAN'T are back
in this area after three-and-a-half-
year a bsence. Mike has been
teaching at Great Lakes Naval
Station in Illinois. Now that he
has returned his family to their
former home on Atlantic ave. he
is off to Norfolk on his next as.
signment.

The Montgomery Council of
Homemakers met last week at the
Rockville County Building to dis.
cuss plans and received guides
for the coming year. Forty-four
groups were represented making

ty. Twinbrook was represented
by: Beth Valentine, president of
Homemakers 3; June Hall, presi-
dent of II o m m k er /; Betty
Strunk, president of Homemaker
2; Dorcas Gracey, president of
Homemaker A; Gene Loveioy,

Jackie Hepner, a member of
the Washington Ballet Company,
and well known for her School
of New Ballet" has just begun a
boys class for ages 7-12 on Sat
urdays, to help them build a foun-
dalton for better coordination and
muscular development. She feels
the most important movements of
great athletes are very closely re-
lated to a classic ballet dancer.
There is only the problem of the
stigma of ballet to be removed
where boys are concerned. For
this reason there is a tremendous
shortage of male dancers. The
most manly sport, fencing, can be
compared to ballet as the basic
steps are so similar. Also il is
of interest that most athletes
started with classic ballet steps
as a basis for coordination.
The Pepsi-Cola Bottling Co. has
donated II of the large indoor.
outdoor thermometers to Twin.
brook School for the promotion
OF weather study in the first TO
fourth grades. Quite gesture
of generosity to see that each
class had their own thermometer
instead of classes having to take
turns with the one thermometer
that the school had hoped to bor-
row.
The P-TA meeting of the Twin.
brook School held last Tuesday
was attended by very few parents
due to the extreme cold.
The few who attended were de.
lighted with the speaker, Mrs,
Elaine Barnes, Elementary Su.
pervisor.
Homemaker III will meet on
JANUARY 20. There will be a Cos.
metic Demonstration. For details
