Environmental trips pre vide different kind of learning 6 955.1 72 '72 Gai 3 .Jvery year the Environmental classes take 24 students to West Virginia to backpack and to just get away from school. Because of heavy flooding in West Virgina, the trip was post poned until Mr. Douglas Waldman, the Environmental teacher, was notified that it was safe to go. The original date was scheduled for October 28th. The forecast predicted 4-7 inches of rain. Instead, they had over 15 inches of rain. Waldman said it was unbelieveable the damage that the flooding did. It made Fort Wayne look minor. November 21, the 24 students left on their trip to discover the wilderness. The camp that they stayed at the previous year was closed by the governor due to flooding. Waldman said that the roads leading to the trails were totally washed away. Junior Kelly Corya, who went on the trip, said that money couldn't buy the enjoyable experience she had. It was really exciting and fun to be able to live off nature, said Corya. Many of the other students expressed their enjoyment of the trip also. The students had to work closely together to build fires, set up bridges to cross the river, and cook their meals. Waldman said this was one of his better groups because they worked well together. I think the student can learn much better working with other students and teachers, you can't learn things like that in the classroom, he said. I would highly recommend the trip to Environmental students for next year, said Corya. Although you are with school teachers and students it's a break away from school anda chance to just be yourself. As the two vans headed home after a long weekend, there were many bruised and sore bodies and many fond memories. El By Sherry Hanby ff ' I i It was really exciting and fun to live off I'l21tL1I'C .
