I ♦ Volleyball calls for concentration when it involves competing with sixth graders as shown by counsellor, Bill Cook. OUTDOOR ED A SMALL VACATION? The lure of escaping school for three days to enjoy Indian summer weather and sharing company with frogs, snakes, poison oak and “darling sixth graders” appealed to the many high school students who participated in the outdoor education program. Before leaving for Camp Kilowan, the prospective counsellors underwent considerable training for their roles as big brothers and sisters” and learned of such things as proper attire, the varied activity programs and the individual responsibilities expected of them. When it finally came time for each group to leave for outdoor school most counsellors felt reasonably prepared. High points of each person’s experience had to include the close daily contact with youngsters in a natural setting, the voluntary early-morning “tweeter hikes,” the treasure hunts for goodies and the opportunity to work informally with elementary teachers who were old friends.

HIGH CHRISTIAN ACTIVITIES CURTAILED In-school religious activities were not as obvious at DHS compared to past years. Among traditional functions held was the Hi-C banquet, which featured Max Bennett, gospel speaker-singer. The banquet took place March 8 at the Red Barn restaurant. Hi-C functioned as a means of expanding fellowship among Christian kids and to develop religious awareness. Money they raised from projects, including a baked food sale and work in the concessions, was used to underwrite part of the banquet costs. The meetings were open to anyone who wished to attend and consisted of songs and short devotional activities. More than fifteen of these meetings were held with much variation in attendance noted. The advisor for the club was Stan Church. Melodee Davis opens the beginning of the graduation ceremonies, with an invocation which included a plea that it not rain. In the final moments of Commencement, Steve Aebi offers a humble prayer of thanksgiving for the blessings he and his fellow-classmates share. 20 Hi Christian
