Jayne Ann is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Walter L Henly, 91 Wortylko Street. She is eleven years old and a seventh grade pupil at the Columbus School here.
Her feat was accomplished somewhat more than a year ao while accompanied by her father and her uncle, Fred Stanley of Edwards, California.
Jayne Ann's father is a postal inspector with the Post Office in New York City. Her mother is the former Marguerite Howell. The Henlys also have another daughter Janice Louise, also a school pupil here. They come from Jacksonville, Illinois.
The 27-mile hike from Whitney Portal the the crest of Mt. Whitney, 14,500 feet above sea level in the Sierra Nevada range, was made in a total hiking time of 13 hours. One hour was spent at the top near John Muir's abandoned weather station for lunch and resting for the return trip. Newspaper clipping:
