Ski Wwlml The 1967 Ski Weekend began at 1:00 in the after¬ noon on Friday, January 27, when the first of two buses for the Lakehead left S.J.R. The second bus left a half hour later, and for the balance of the day and night there were about 90 boys on two buses some¬ where between Winnipeg and Port Arthur trying in vain to find ways to amuse themselves. The war between those who wanted to sleep and those who did not was heavily contested, and until exhaustion set in the non¬ sleepers were winning. There was a brief stopover in Drydon for a bite to eat and some rest. By 11:00 both buses were in Port Arthur and all boys were supposedly in bed in their rooms in the Prince Arthur Hotel. Despite the hardships of the trip all ninety boys were up early Saturday morning and eager to hit the slopes. We ate breakfast at the hotel and by nine o’clock both buses were at Loch Lomond. Lessons were given to the novice skiers and everyone caught on quickly. Once the snowplow was mastered, they were off to the big” hills. Miraculously no one suffered a major injury on the trip. The only things broken were numerous skis rented at Loch Lomond. With the variety of slopes offered at Loch Lomond there was a run suited to everyones capabilities. The first day ended all to quickly and it was only on the bus back to the hotel that most boys realized how tired they really were. That night most of the Upper school boys got leave and decided to see the town. All were back by mid¬ night and sleep came easily. The next morning every¬ one was up early again, and S.J.R. boys were on the slopes by mid-morning. Everybody enjoyed a full day of skiing. The be¬ ginners practiced their recently acquired abilities and the more proficient skiers matched their skills with the more difficult runs. By that afternoon everyone was thoroughly tired from two days of skiing and two nights of very little sleep. The group returned to the hotel for dinner and then set off for Winnipeg. On the return trip everything was reasonably quiet and after the stop at Drydon the majority of boys fell asleep. The buses arrived at S.J.R. at about three A.M. and the group split up — the day boys going home and the boarders going to their dorms. Monday morning there were regular classes, and the boys were all tired, but all will agree that this year’s ski trip was a success and well worth going on. Thanks are extended to Mr. Wellard for organizing the trip, to Mr. Hammond, Mr. Geith and Mr. Bevis for helping with the supervision, and to Mr. Weare for providing accommodations in Port Arthur.
