They returned to Cook about 3:30, a very tired group but happy they had been able to have such an enjoyable outing. ' Academically, we have completed nearly all of our.teXts. Many pro- jects and problems were worked upon during thc year. we feel we have worked hard and are looking forward to our next step up the ladder of education.
