NORTHERN CAMPUS li Comparing and contrasting Northward Bound in the winter and fall is much the same as comparing winter and fall camping: we must remember that these are very different from each other. We must include factors such as health, weather, or even transportation. To begin, in the fall the mode of transportation was the canoe - quick, light and capable easily of fifteen miles a day. hi winter the snowshoe was used - cumbersome, slow, able to cover only half the distance of the canoe. Canoeing was much easier and much quicker, - we saw more, travelled further and spent less energy. Probably the biggest influencing factor during our v«nter session was the amount of snow. It covered such essentials as our water and our firewood. Both of these were in abundance in the fall. Things were much more difficult with the snow. Every bit of campcraft learned during the fall was more difficult to execute in w inter, for instance, a tent, in fall, was quickly and easily put up, but in winter, problems arose: tent pegs had to be iced after they were driven into the snow. Pine boughs had to be collected for under the tent and snow piled around the edges. One of the greatest hindrances was not having a place to come in out of the cold: this was especially so on our four-day camp-out. When clothes got wet, they didn ' t dry, they froze. Sickness for lOE was also an important factor. It seemed that everyone in the class contracted the flu of some sort. This slowed us down, and prevented individuals from completing requirements. I feel it is important to be familiar with winter camping, and I enjoyed both two-week excursions, but I found fall easier and less demanding - really only a preparatory course for the winter. To finish, I think Appleby ' s Northward Bound course is an op- portunity every boy should have. Glen Yates

Northward Bound was designed to teach students about survival in the wilderness, and, from their experiences, to gain respect for nature. In addition, an understanding of the untamed wilderness and its ways will help a boy to understand Canada ' s heritage of hardy voyageurs and pioneers who formed the backbone of our nation. The fall session, the introductory one, is designed gently to break in the students to the harsh realities of the north and to prepare them for bigger things. The weather was mild and pleasant. This fact surprises the new recruit, who has mentally prepared himself for timdra temperatures. As time goes on, the younger camper finds camping to be exhilarating and the mellow temperatures just right. The canoeing is quiet and relaxing, with the added bonus of allowing the canoeist time to drink in the beauty that surrounds him. On the other hand, the winter term proved to be the true test of endurance and patience. The weather was summoned by Cassandra, harsh and morbid, depressingly regular. The constant battle between the sun and the clouds casts the surroundings in sombre shades. The landscape is caught in vdnter ' s icy clutches, restricting any small movements of trees, birds, waves or insects which seem ever- present in the fall. Snowshoeing is not pleasant or relaxing, exciting or stimulating; it is monotonous - and tiring. The poorly lit black and white landscape never varies and the constant plod, plod, plod of the snowshoes is as numbing to the brain as the Chinese water torture. The winter term was a challenge, and most challenges are good; but the fall was more pleasant and much more pleasurable, and therefore the better of the two in my eyes. Andrew Krempulec
