LEADER HIP WEEKE Three Weeks after the beginning of school, Grade ll left the grey drudgery of their school life for a more adventurous outing on the Rouge River. The motive behind the trip was to develop unity and leadership in the senior class. The students were too busy enjoying themselves to notice that this objective accomplished even after the first day. On the evening of their arrival, the boys participated in a volleyball game that was made more interesting by the decision of the more radical members of the grade to modify the rules. During the next two days many more activities and competitions were enjoyed, which included getting over electrified fences and shark infested waters, designed to promote teamwork and cooperation. The boys also participated in other activities including kayaking, and, the highlight of the stay, white water rafting. The students were divided into teams that bore such imaginative names as: 6-pack, The A-Team, and The Bones. These teams were organized in such a way that the various cliques of friends that exist in the grade were split up, forcing everyone to work with people other than their friends. This division led to many new and friendlier ties being established among people who had not really known each other before. During the evenings, the teachers and students participated in various activities and discussions designed to teach the boys about the necessity of responsibility in leadership, as well as those involved in cooperation and patience. Everyone then had ample time to brood over these topics throughout the cold, sleepless nights. Those people who were able to keep warm enough to sleep were kept awake by the chattering teeth of their neighbours and by the noise of the maniac tent-wreckers busy outside. At the end of the weekend, the boys were happy to return to the civilised world of warm showers and edible food, as well as the friendly party held at the house of one of the boys. 0 tw-f-X ,Y 00 s W. ,, . .
