Have you noticed the strange hieroglyphics on food packages? Those series of vertical bars and numbers are a grocery product identification system called the universal product code. Each code specifies the package size, manufacturer, contents and price of the product. 

At the checkout counter the clerk will pass the coded packages over a scanner. This draws the price of each package from a central computer. The price will appear in the digital read-out window of the electronic cash register in view of the consumer. At the same time, the price will be recorded on the cash register tape.

The theme of this year’s Wyoming Association of Student Councils conference held in Lander Nov. 17-18 is “Just Lead It” and that’s exactly what two seniors, Caleb Horrocks and Melissa Bernhisel, from Rocky Mountain High School were recognized for. Bernisel won the “Hidden Hero Award,” which is a special award acknowledging students who work tirelessly behind the scenes to organize student activities, often without recognition.

Horrocks, who is the current student body president at RMHS, was awarded all-state honors at the conference. Though Horrocks has been on the student council his entire high school career, he said he was surprised to receive such a big honor at the the conference.
