You'd be surprised at how many students lived hear the Puget Sound. The church in Seattle was packed with Multnomah kids. Band: I suppose the kids were pretty happy about staying with people they knew. It must have made things a lot easier on them. Choir: Easier? Don't kid yourself. They were living the life of Riley! Why, some of them were staying in mansions on Coeur d'Alene Lake! Band: Really? Hmm. I've never seen a mansion sitting on a lake before. Is it anything like a floating bridge? Choir: Very funny. But, speaking of floating bridges, I bet you crossed that one at Seattle. Chorale: Yeah The kids weren't overly thrilled about it, though. But they did have quite a bit of fun in Canada. Did you know that Vancouver used to be called 'Gastown'? That was quite a sight. There's a little section of Vancouver that has old cobblestone streets and old-fashioned shops. Band: Isn't there a Chinatown in Van- couver'? Chorale: Yeah. We went there, too. The kids seemed to enjoy the Vancouver Aquarium best of all. That was the first time any of them ever saw anything quite like that before. I'll bet your kids had an awful lot of fun sight-seeing. Band: They sure did. And they weren't the only ones.

Come to think of it, I guess we had a few sick ones, too. I heard that one girl got burned the day before we left and had to stay home. The kids sure seemed to miss her. Band: Is she okay now? Choir: Well-she ought to be. The way they kept praying for her, she probably feels even better than she felt before she got burned! Band: You guys have any casualties on the trip? Choir: We almost did. When one of the gals was playing a pipe organ, the vibrations from the organ caused a vase to come crashing down. It almost conked one of the guys on the head. Band: Did you say something about a pipe organ? Chorale: Yeah-an old one, I think. Band: Huh! We ran across one, too. I believe it was in Albany. That sure was a different kind of a church. It used to be an old public school. We played in one church that used to be a movie theater. I was wishing I had some popcorn to sell to the audience. I'll bet I would have made a mint!', Chorale: We got some real good-sized crowds, too. The audiences all over seemed to like the group real well. I sure was sur- prised at how friendly those Canuck people were. In fact, the people at Surrey were probably the warmest hosts. They even gave the kids a standing ovation. That made up for the two hours of rig-a-ma-row going through customs. Choir: The kids ran into a lot of Mult- nomah students on our tour. There was a whole slug of them in southern Idaho. Most

Choir: You know, you guys may have seen more tourist traps than we did, but I'll bet we had better meals. And if I can find a scale, I'l1 prove it to you! Till we got to Mt. Vernon, I thought I had tasted everything. Have you ever had duck soup before? I don't think I've ever eaten as good as I did this past week. Band: We got fed real well, too. But you couldn't always tell by the way the kids talked. The folks forgot to pack lunches for us at this one place and if that wasn't a pan- ic! The kids acted like they were going to starve to death! Choir: I think my kids would have welcomed that, especially the girls. All I ever heard was 'Oh-I've gained so much weight!' Band: We had a couple of kids who jogged regularly. Right now, I wish I would have jogged with them! Chorale: I never realized college kids were so energetic- Band: Mine weren't. They were hyper. We had this one little red-headed gal who was a regular pillow-fight champ. Chorale: Like I was saying, I know they were dog-tired, but they sure held up a lot better than I did. They thought of just about everything to keep themselves amused. Band: You're telling me! I wish I had a picture of this one couple.
