very low opinion of themselves when in fact their potential Is more than they realize This type of thing shows them how much they can do and gives an Idea or thejr potential he said Opens horizons Mr Rowley added that a trip like this is part of Canadian heritage and tradition and that It may have opened a lot of horizons for those who went Eighteen students took this opportunity to solo or spend hours alone in the bush Advisers noted thai living In such close quarters each other made students hard pressed to get along with each other They were pleased to report members of the club were able to overcome social problems and groups became very tightly knit Speaking of the students Mr Rowley said they showed tremendous determination and cooperation encountered on the trip wos average with insects proving to be less of a problem than had been expected said the scenery was spectacular and would encourage Other people to take a trip like Mr Rowley as a very deep blue and clean looking
