A party at Pine View Reservoir is welcomed by Upward Bound students. Upward Bound Program Begins The federally sponsored Upward Bound Program began during the summer on Weber's campus under the direction of James B. Condie. High school students from throughout the area lived together in the residence halls and participated in several projects in addition to educational sessions. "Upward Bound Through Education" is the theme of the students' award-winning float. Ghost stories at a canyon party are not taken too seriously by fellow "Upward Bounders:" Banner bearers, dressed in blue and silver, lead "Once Upon a Time" in Ogden's Pioneer Days Parade, witnessed by 30,000 people. College Float Is Honored The associated students entry in the Ogden Pioneer Days Parade received sweepstakes honors. The 65-foot unit also won sweepstakes at Brigham City Peach Days and took second place in the Utah State Fair Parade. The float was designed and constructed by student leaders, who titled it "Once Upon a Time." It was built like a royal court, complete with castle, golden coach, horse, bridge, banners, and a rock garden. Students began early in the summer to prepare the entry for Utah's 24th of July celebration. They used more than 200 yards of blue and green satin, and 10 pounds of gold sparkle for the coach and castle dome. The 18-foot high castle nearly lost its roof during the Ogden parade when it caught a utility wire in front of the reviewing stand. Television cameramen saved the float from disaster when they nudged the wire over its top.
