She reports on returning that the Course was a lifetime experience for her.. One is filled with emotion that life possesses. • Fear, which we all went thru and came out, with courage. •Anger, that ripped at all of us but was with. held with re pect. 'Exhaustion, we all ex- perienced but pushed on to reach the top. •Consideration for other people we managed well. ' • Friendships we built will - be life -time precious stones. •Tears, some of us dropped for Joy at seeing our first summit. t flappiness, we shared with each other that -can never be replaced by anything else. Peacefulness. we shared on our 2 day solo, only to be re -united together again for more experience with nature and mountains. Mountain climbing, with a 4Q ib. pack, is a traumatic accomplishment. Our highest mountain was Mount Remmel 8.695 feet. I ex- perienced Hell and Heaven all in one day. It was hell climbing but heaven at the top." Mary Lynne camped overnight on the summit. Daybreak was emotional. the sun rising and she could reach up and see and touch the clouds riding by. The motto of this course is. "To serve to strive and not to yield." As she sat on the summit of Mt. Remmel she couldn't help but think of her sister Elizabeth Kennedy. who two years previous experienced "Outward Bounds" these lines came to her -"We have shared! We have strived. We have served. and not yielded, we have lived."

Our old stove was one of the first that Westinghouse ever made. but it wasn't quite old enough to interest an antique dealer. When the oven went "kaput" we decided to incest in a new range. The old frig was pretty small. too: so it was replaced. Our parents were good enough to give us wedding presents of money for a washer and dryer. and since we were buying four appliances we decided -to get a dishwasher. too. Believe me. not having to bake in an oven that doesn't work, not having to rearrange the interior of the frig every time you watt a glass of milk. not having to pack up arid go to a laundro- mat. and not having to look at a pile of dirty dishes in the sink can really improve your marriage You see. prior to the new - appliances. we did oc- casionally picker over who would do the household chores Dishes were a major item. and laundry was the other But neither one of us ever had to go to the laundry mat alone it's not because we're one of thane happy jolly couples that has to do everything together it's because if i went to .the ,taungrow.at by myself. 1 wouldh't fold his T- shirts right. and if he went by himself. he wouldn't bother t9 put hangers.

For the local youngsters, playing the Von Trapp family has given them .a chance to Work with professionals on . the stage. The children say that they've learned many things --such as how to breathe, and how to open their mouths and speak clearly. They have also been told not to put their backs to the audience, and not to upstage someone else, they say. The Sound of Music is the biggest production ever attempted by Huron Country Playhouse. There will be a cast of 25, with five different stage settings. Most characters in the play wear several' different costumes. The children change seven times during the play.
