The Cowley Progress

Tourists, both from Wyoming and other states, spent between $6,000,000 and $7,000,000 during the past summer on their vacation jaunts within the boundaries of the state. This was determined by a survey of tourist traffic through questionnaires sent out by the State Highway Department during July, the result of which was published in the current issues of “Wyoming Roads,” the highway magazine.

The Lovell Chronicle

The freshmen initiation was held in Lovell High School yesterday, reports J. Robert Gillis, principal. The boys were attired in gunny sack shirts and their Valentino hairdos were held in place with a portable grease supply carried around their necks. The girls, on the other hand, looked like natives with large soup bones in their upswept hair and high-heeled shoes adding to the occasion. The freshmen, of course, don’t like initiation while its going on, but the memories they will carry on through high school will certainly make up for the hardships of the day.

The Lovell Chronicle

This week’s edition marks a new milestone for the Lovell Chronicle. It is the first Chronicle printed on a new press purchased jointly by the Lovell Chronicle and Powell Tribune. Both papers were formerly printed in Cody. The three-unit, web offset Goss Community press is located in the Tribune building in Powell. Besides the added printing quality provided by the new press, the new arrangement will allow the Chronicle to set later deadlines for news and advertising in the next few weeks because of the shorter round trips.

Pauline Tippetts is retiring after 27 years of continuous employment as the North Big Horn Senior Citizens Center’s chief bean counter. Taking over her position as “right hand” woman to Senior Center Director Denise Andersen is Melissa Cavender, a recent transplant from Powderly, Texas. Over the years Tippetts tracked complicated grants, set up computerized bookkeeping systems and basically kept the center afloat with her accounting acumen.
