Brad Coburn watches flag ceremony in front of the lodge. Two sixth graders from Eiber Elementary use their senses in Geology. 4' 4.82 v-s Seeing The Other Side ' Once when l was in sixth grade, late in the year, the whole sixth grade went to lab school. lt was at Windy Peak. There were two, by the way, the second was Mt. Evans. The first was the newer one, but smaller. We arrived in the busses just in time for lunch. We lined up and sat quietly at the lunch tables until they were ready to serve lunch to us, family style. Then the rules started to flow. They told us all the things we could or could not do and what would happen. The director looked mean and strict so we didn't say a word. After lunch we had a little rest period, actually just to straighten out our dorms. Then we went to our first activity class. It happened to be art. And on it went with the fun, throughout the week it got better and better. l constantly dreamed about the years to come, when I could become a counselor. All of a sudden, I was in the eleventh grade and could go to Outdoor Educational Laboratory School. l was so excited, l was going with my homeschool, and my little sister. l got all the activities together, packed, and dragged everything to school that early Monday morn- ing. Kids were everywhere, the counselors got to at- tempt to load the busses. Then everything was loaded, and we all climbed into the busses, students, counselors and teachers. This time we were going to Mt. Evans. When we finally got there the procedures were the same, just that the counselors got first priorities to seating for lunch, lt was a hectic week and the counsel- ors had to keep on their toes at all times. By Wednes- day all of us were beat. The last couple days were spent on a less strict bases lby the counselorsl, and everything went well. r N .Nag xx Nik A student smiles during a lesson given by a high school leader.
