where the range of . individ-

was, putting. it mildly,
astounded at some of the
people I. save on a trip to To-

I often would pig>people

yellow or even a bright

that may, quite readily, have
been rejects from the Sally

I find it difficult to fathom
the reasons for dressing in
such a Manner but some
people would react and
simply call them crazy or
weird. However I think that
the punkies may dress in
such a way because they are
retaliating in their own way.
Retaliating against what?
Possibly they didn't feel that
they were being treated as
individuals and this is quite
realistic in the mass society
we have today. So often we
tend to become statistics and
not people. From personal
experience I know, because
on college forms you are
often requested to refer to
yourself asecyour assigned
number. How can you feel
you are an individual when
to others you're just a bunch
of digits?
Dressing flamboyantly is
also, in many cases, a cry for
help. If you started dressing
grubbily and not taking care
of yourself, friends would
ask, "What's wrong?" In
cities, or anywhere for that
matter, newcomers often
don't have a friend to turn to

History trip

the U.S. capital city. Despite
the almost continuous rain

front of dear old Madill and
bid a yawnful goodbye to,
real Canada.. Hours later
crossed the border at F(
Erie — Buffalo with, t
necessary rituals.
The most difficult part w
yet to come, for • the re-
maining nine hours were
spent rolling through the
U.S. to our destination near
Washington. The long
driving spell was broken by
word games, fantastic leafy
landscape and rugged
ridges.
With cheers we at last
pulled up to Quality Inn at
8:30 p.m. in Fairfax, a city
which is a neighbor to
Washington.
The next two days were so
packed with sightseeing,
TWA and eat -and -run situa-
tions that •it seemed im-
possible to sort out the acti-
vities consecutively. The
high points remain, for most
people: the White Nouse
visit, the afternoon at the
Smithsonian Institute (con-
taining many of the first
structures in aerial t.
pioneering) or the Ford
Theatre production on fri-
day night.
However approximately
half the students, 'by some
fortunate timing and next to
impossible luck, were able to
see, I repeat, see the future
King of England, Prince
Charles. This was much
more than anyone could
have asked for, yet it was
really that m, ch -heard -
about royal personage whom
we saw in the gorgeous
Washington Cathedral
during a service, together
with the Archbishop of
Canterbury.
I'd like to mention once
again the exciting, energetic
performance of 'I'm Getting
My Act Together and Taking
it on the Road", at the Ford
Theatre. The strongly dra-
matic performance by ac-
tess Louisa Flannigan pro-
trayed her struggle to be a
strong, independent woman
despite society norms, de-
spair and her uncooperative
manager.
The students came away
from the Ford Theatre high
on empathy because the
musical -comedy had some-
how touched most of us with
its realistic expression of
friendship and humanity.

Mr. and Mrs. Hunter and Mr.
Roberts, for their time, con-

CRY, OF THE
LOON
The sun has set, we see the
moon
and into the night comes the
song of a loon.
Lonely and piercing, in-
creasing the dark
speaking of misery as it
rings clear and stark.
The girl in the garden heard
the sad song;
for a happiness unspoken she
felt her heart long.
But the song in her heart was
the song of the bird
and the sadness she felt were
the sad notes she heard.
She leaned on a tall tree,
gazed up to thesky.
and found herself ques-
tioning, wondering whyr
He'd meant so much to her,
this man in her life
but for such a short moment,
she'd been his wife.
He'd loved her and held her
and sung in her ear
he'd said all those sweet
things she'd always hold.
dear.
He'd told her he loved her
and always would.
He'd promised to care for
her as long as he could.
But the time had been so
short and now it was done
he'd left her in darkness;
he'd taken her sun.
Now she stood in the garden
by the tree straight and
tall
and listened, so sadly, to the
mournful loon's call.
