"I spend all my time collecting fossils in the field and working with them in the laboratory. By that I don't mean the people around here," she added hastily. "The geology folks have been the friendiest I have ever known."

Was A Girl Ranger Naturalist
Last summer Wealthy was the only girl ranger naturalist in Zion National park. "I answered questions in the museum, guided nature walks, and gave illustrated lectures at night," she related. "The only thing that made me angry was when some tourist would rush up and ask, 'What's the quickest way we can see the park?'".

"In attempting to climb the Great White Throne, a treacherous sandstone formation, Roger got stuck about one third of the way, and couldn't go up or down. He had to spend almost 24 hours on his precarious perch before the rangers could rescue him. They assigned me to telephone duty," Wealthy said.

When Wealthy can get away from Lindley hall and geology, she enjoys reading and listening to music. "I can't play an instrument, but I enjoy any kind of good music, mostly classical."
Likes Music, Reading
However, music is a winter pastime, and with the coming of spring, Wealthy is dusting off her jeans and wondering where she can find a new chisel, because, for her, it's fossil-hunting season and she is just itching to grab a hammer and a sample bag, and spend some exciting afternoons on the hillsides busting rocks.

The engagement of Miss Bobette Sellers of Paola, to Mr. Howard Perry, also of Paola, was announced Sunday at the Sigma Nu house. Miss Sellers is a graduate of the University and was a member of Alpha Delta Pi sorority. Mr. Perry is a freshman in the school of engineering.
