Once the bonfire got started (a feat in itself), seniors spent the time roasting marshmallows and telling ghost stories. Photo by M. Stuckey.

The ducks had a hard time telling friend from foe during the Retreat, since about half of the seniors would feed them, while the other half would try to run them down with the canoes. Photo by XI.

Senior Retreat: Fun Plus A Whole Lot More Take seven canoes, two spooky ghost stories, eight warm cabins, one big bonfire, hundreds of roasted marshmallows and no homework. Add 75 spirited seniors. Mix these ingredients together for three days in the beautiful central Louisiana woods. Sounds like a recipe for fun, frolicking, and friendship. The Class of 1986's Retreat toCamp Hardtner was all that, but also much more. Sunday, November 3, was a very chilly day for the beginning of this special weekend. Nevertheless, the seniors' spirits were quite high, as were those of the eight chaperones, who were Dr. and Mrs. Pitre, Mrs. Weidig, Mrs. Stuckey, Mr. Bosse, Mrs. Donalson, Father Ray and Fa- ther Hancock. For the first time, the Retreat, which is usually held in the spring, was held in November. Nicole Johnson thought the change was an improvement in that it brought us closer together at the beginning of the year. This year's group had the highest participation rate ever, and the two school buses were barely large enough to hold the participants, sleeping bags and pillows. The days at Camp Hardtner were filled with many interesting group activities, but also there was plenty of free time for individuals to do as they pleased. Candace Tull fondly remembers peaceful early morning canoeing in the fog with the ducks. On the other hand, many seniors remembered the water fights in the canoes. Jennifer Smith enjoyed just sitting around and singing old songs while Fr. Ray played his guitar. Other seniors appreciated the rappin' talents of Will Latham and Rob Sindelar. The various nights' activities included movies, skits, a bonfire and a few ghost stories. The daytime group activities were more on the serious side. After early morning chapel and a good hot breakfast, the seniors were ready to break up into smaller groups and discuss their morals and values. Sherry Manno felt that these sessions were rewarding because they really made me think about myself and what I wanted out of life. In one session the seniors had to determine their own characteristics and what they were looking forward to in a spouse. Due to their various compatibilities. Will Latham and Carrie Wilder were judged to be the perfect couple for 1986. Tuesday morning, before heading back to school, the seniors took part in a tearful Eucharist celebration. Exhilarated by the fresh air and the beautiful surroundings, yet tired from the football games, everyone sadly boarded the buses, signalling the end of this year's Retreat. Many seniors agreed that the greatest benefit was getting to know everyone better and breaking outside of their normal circle of friends for a change. Overwhelmingly, the seniors' last wish was that possibly another rewarding Retreat could be cooked up for spring! Senior Retreal 7
