The trip to African Lion Safari was great! Everything from the animals to the weather co- operated well with us. We arrived home about 5:30 p.m. with stories for our families about the animals such as the lions, cheetahs and elephants as well as the boat and train rides we went on. We all agree it was ex- cellent! Tuesday saw us on a tour of Dorothyand Ken Breakey's rock. collection. Marc Clansius and Tracy Fisher won the door prizes- hand made rings! Thanks again! After that we were back at the arena making candles and roller skating. On Wednesday we celebrated our birthdays. After singing "happy bir- thday" to ourselves we devoured the cup cakes we made ourselves! • We had another chance to stuff our faces on Thursday when we ate corn -on -the -cob at Heather's. All summer Lori and Heather planned activities and the schedule. The last day of playground - Friday - was our day. We all wrote down four activities that we enjoy and these were pulled from a hat. It kept the leaders on their toes! We did everything from painting to the gong show! We stopped only to have a pop break. All too soon 4:00 p.m. came per cent across the elec- tricity system, could affect delicate communications equipment used during the conference. Voltage reduction tests are carried out in winter and summer to gauge the effects on the electricity system. A five per cent voltage cut results in a saving of about 400,000 ',,;;owatts. No problems were experienced during the July - 23 test. and we were singing our theme song for the last time together. Couldn't we have just one more week?! Junior Monday at Rockton Safari was another new experience for us. The monkeys clim- bing all over the bus and the giraffe staring in at us were fascinating. After gulping down our lunch we were ready to hit the midway, so we did! We want to thank our chaperons -you were a great - help. We had another special guest with us on the trip and for the rest of the week. Even though our new friend Andrea was blind she en- joyed playground and we enjoyed her very much! On Tuesday Aimee Gelinas brought us a specisl treat. Home-made cookies were enjoyed by all! Wednesday we (the budding chefs of Zurich) baled birthday cup cakes! Before blowing out the candles on them after the party we each made a wish. Wishes for everything from a new baby sister to a new trans -am were made! Sorry I can't help you kids! Everyone loves a corn roast! Especially if there's lots of butter and salt. That's the way it was on Thursday. Our last day of playground was a bright and sunny one. We drew pictures of the things we like to do and they pulled out of a hat It was fun! Something we didn't plan on though was looking for a treasure chest. When we finally did find the chest we snatched up the precious. load- pop. The cool drink was welcome! At .11:45 a.m. we looked around and saw all our friends that we spent the summer with. The sad part was that we wouldn't be all together again when Monday morning rolled around. Oh, well, the start of Playground 1982 is only ten months away! LAST MIGHT THURSDAY, AUG. 27 AT 8 P.M.
