Mile out of Town Right in your own backyard were the sights, sounds, tastes, and smells of real country livin ' . Retreating from their summers in the city, students returned in the fall not only to campus, but also to their favorite outdoor spots. Mc- Connells Mill, one of the most popu- lar among students, was visited by hikers, climbers, rafters, hunters and fishermen. Another familiar backyard retreat was Leesburg Falls. The colorful woods and quiet stream made a romantic place to walk together. With packs filled with a blanket, cheese, hard bread, and wine; stu- dents retreated by bike to the rare sight of a covered bridge. Located on the Neshannock Falls-V olant Road, the bridge was one of two in Lawrence County. The most familiar sights seen on a drive through the country were the Amish farms. Baby-blue doors marked the homes of single girls and horse-drawn farm equipment painted a nostalgic picture. Dozens of little girls and boys dressed in dark purples and blues lined the steps of one-room schoolhouses and buggies crept along the sides of the roads. The most magnificent scenes in the country setting were the sunsets. Pillowy clouds painted red and orange and engulfed by crystal blue LEFT: Set apart not only by a fence, the Amish farm reflects a unique culture. -J.
