A gorlond of lilies bids bon voyage. Certainly flae highlight of the summer for most of the students in the summer program was the canoe- camping program. Students packed two to a canoe in groups of fourteen for trips that averaged five days in this virtually untouched wilderness area. Here they wereg cut off from the usual necessities of home life but anticipating and enjoying every mo- ment of it. There are no phones. No gas or electric hot water stoves to cook up a quick meal on. No running from the tap. No thermostatically controlled heating system. No electric lights. No refrigerator for a cool drink or left-overs for snacks. No inner-spring beds, down pillows, or cozy comforters. What then WAS there? Wfell. Sometimes, a swamped canoe in the rapids or a careless disembarkment, may have left you only a soggy sleeping bag and equally uncomfortable cloth- ing to wear for a day or two. Or it could just as easily begin to pour as you are in the middle of preparing a late evening meal in an open campfire, drowning your painfully constructed fire and making mush of your biscuits and baked beans. Throw in a stiff head wind the next day that makes travel all but impossible, spice with the fact someone left his tent at the campsite six miles back, and you have a normal, menzomble trip. 20 ' Century ' A The thunderous roar of explosive waters cutting their woy through ci fre Qfanile 'f0U9h- Af' 'V W 'l.
