Ee ae Mig eels . 2 Honan PS eeepc ne arr eee geet eo cute nal ie LEGS LEE, APs . Down memory lane: Late rains and snows have given Nevada County its most beautiful spring in years but let's pause and travel back to the springs. of my youth _ Inavbe yours)+=<-. Spring meant the herds of cattle and sheep on the way tothe grazing lands of Lake City and Jackson Meadows--the bawling of the cattle as they stayed corraled over-. . night at the old slaughterhouse near the N, C, Chinese and Jewish cemeteries---the muffled sound of sheep’s feet atid the faithful herding sheep dogs. (This dog leash law required by the State would have called for some awful long leashes in those days.) ; Spring meant the coming of the colorful gypsies-out of nowhere and disappearing into nowhere-while every housewife and merchant wondered how much they had skillfully pilfered with their spring onslaught. Spring meant the coming of the carnivals, their inelodic calliope and their con-artists, their girlie shows and the 25 foot python. ‘Spring meant an illness ortwoand the: old time methods of prevention--Like having scarlatina. George Calanan, City Health Officer would arrive and post the bright yellow stay-away quarantine flag--making all within the house feel like identified communists--and then after Dr. TicKell would give the all clear cured sign--down would come the flat but not until you had poured formaldehyde into every crack and crevice and burned sulphur comparable tothe San Francisco fire--and I doubt if a germ was ever disposed of by such a holocausts. Spring (whenI became a railroader) . on the NCNG meant the arrival of Box Car Annie, the only known femalehobointhe United Statesto ride the rods. .Dirty, filthy, vulgar Box Car Annie-the-call girl of the RR jungles.

Leaving Grass Valley at 6:15 a.m. bound for San Francisco, the group's first stop was San Francisco State College, where it toured the campus and ate lunch, In the afternoon students visited Golden Gate Park and Cliff House After dinner in this area, the weary group returned home, ++ +t t The Pacific Gas and Electric Company sponsored the second field trip. This excursion consisted of a tour of the Lake Spaulding dam and powerhouses, Taking part in the outing were the physics classes and Mr. O'Neil, NU physics and geometry instructor. When the group arrived at Spaulding, they were divided into three sections of about 10 students each, One group went down the tram car to powerhouses Nos, 1 and 2, while another section walked along the top of the dam, and the third group met inside one of the buildings and were told of the workings of the Pacific Gas and Electric Co.'s system of lakes and dams in the area. About 20 minutes later, the groups changed places, After this session, the students were fed a delicious meal prepared by wives of the workmen at Spaulding.
