SENIORS INTERACT IN AN ENLIGHTENING WEEKEND AT CAMP WARREN The class of 1978 left the Northrop Campus on Saturday, September 17, for an early morning bus ride to Camp Warren at Eveleth, Minnesota. The quiet bus ride up was interrupted by a brief munch at Tobie’s for dyno donuts. They arrived at camp in time to participate in a vigorous work hour consisting of wood chopping, window cleaning, land excavating and other fun chores. The shower schedule was lenient to the male faction of the camp, so the girls made up for it by taking cold baths, skinny dip style, in the lake. The sauna was a popular attraction for the weekend voyagers. The chip game and the discussion of goals were enlightening aspects of the weekend. The free time in between planned activities was left for games and individual pursuits. The Warner Bros, cartoons were as intellectually stimulating as the Jerry Lewis movie was a flop! For the grand finale the class boogied at the square dance. The snuggie epidemic swept the bus ride home, leaving modest remains. All ’n all a unique experience! (1) Chuck takes a snooze on the bus ride home. (2) With a “touch of class” one of the nine groups presents a skit. (3) Seniors relax and enjoy the sing along around the fire. (4) Jim Lockhart chops wood during work hour. (5) Carolyn stands up for the Women’s Lib Movement. (6) Witty comments are made during a typical teacher’s meeting. (7) Davey finishes the circling bat race. (8) The men haul away the wood. (9) Windex will do it every time. (10) The secret service is on duty. 18 LIFE
