the bat. From now on we must get
Christen mad before a volleyball

game,
The next game was boys floor

hockey. It was a game of con-
trolled violence. In this game
we won 10-3. I didn't see that
game because I went shopping.
An activity in which most
everybody took part in. Lunch
was obtained from the school
canteen. They had a canteen
because they were trying to
raise 2 thousand bucks in 335
weeks,

If you liked a big lunch it
would be eyen more than Cassiar
hot dogs were 35¢\

Fort Nelson didn't have any
cheerleaders but some of them
picked up a few of the cheer
sheets our cheerleaders gave
out and made good use of the
cheers we had. They even cheer-
ed Cassiar so we gave them a
cheer back.

Boys basketball was next,
which we did well in even if
we kinda got stumped. We were
ahead with 6 nothing and they
put this one guy on and the
score ended up 33 to 13 for
them. The guy that they had
put on was 16 but Mr. & Mrs.
Olson talked to him in the bar
and guess he's on B.C. A basket
ball team, He had dropped in
from work for 10 min. just to
give Fort Nelson a lead.

We did better in girls bask-
etball. We won with a 14-8
score,

They didn't know the first
thing about indoor soccer and
we screaned and hollered with
out rage until we got a new
ref. They didn't have a net
or crease so we got a crease
marked out on the floor and
used tap2 on the walls for a
net. Before the new ref, their
goalie went trotting in and
out of his crease and every-
body was going in and out of
everybodys crease and the ball
even hit the roof and wasn't
called. With the new ref, the
three rules that were dis-
obeyed were obstruction, pass-

ing the ball behind centerline
in a center kickoff and the
goalje throwing ball past
center. These rules were also
ignored in the girls game. Our

boys won with a score of 6-5
and when there was 20 seconds
left of the game, Fort Nelson

scored making it 4-5 for them,
Tim kicked it from center and
it hit their defence man and
went into the goal. making it a
tie of 5-5. When there was 2
seconds left of the game, we
scored,

Fort Nelson didn't heve a
girls soccer team but scraped
one up and we played anyway,
we won with a score of 2-l. The
Fort Nelson girls put up a real
good game, After the game Mr.

O told us we were to be at the
school by 7:15 the next morning

and we went home to the billets.

Some of us went to the show
that night which was called the
King of the Grizzles. It costs
less for local students and the
lady assumed most of us were
local students and so we paid
$1.25 for our ticket. Poor
Chris she wouldn't believe he
was local and he had to pay

more. I weat to it and it wasn't

a bad show.

There was also a dance that
night which was a dollar to get
in. Sue was to pick me up after
the show but instead she sent
a couple guys instead, they
wouldn't take me home so I fin-
ally agreed to go to the dance.
A couple minutes after I got
there one of the guys got into
a fight. They were both pretty
drunk and the guy he was fight-
ing with punched the principal
and got kicked out. They said
they could never keep booze
out of their dances,

The next morning we left at
8:30. We were supposed to leave
at 7:30 but some of the kids
were a little late, so was the
bus, by about 40 min. The ride
home was just as interesting, I
thought that the main occupat-
ion on the way home would be
sleeping but I couldn't have
been more mistaken. Some of the

girls brought lunches. Dianne's
would have been enough to feed
the whole bus for 2 days, that
is if Tim and Mike hadn't got
into it, Others like Kim,

Peggy and Darlen started to
stuff themselves the minute
they sat down on the bus,

“On the first lap of our
journey there was some sleeping
and those who weren't sleeping
had cameras taking pictures of
those who were. They must have
some pretty good pictures, Mrs.
Olson must have looked so sweet.

It had been cold all weekend
and it was still just as cold,
so our great seat system still
was in progress for those who
wanted it,

At the girls relieve stops,
the boys stops were still be-
hind the bus, but when we stopp-

ed some of us acquired piles of
comic books. No matter how much
the owners protested they were
eventually passed around the
bus. Except of course Brents,
who guarded his with his life,
Lunch was at summit where they
had prepared soup or sandwiches
and cake or pie if you wanted
it. There were a few exceptions
like Tim who prefered to have
corn flakes. The rest of the
way home he was called corny.

This trip was not quite as
safe for both Rick Prosser and
Allen Hubbell got sick while
Wade came very close to it.

- We had a big full supper at
the Watson Lake Sportsman. A
few plates had more meat and
Jutta explained that her peas
were still alive but otherwise
it was real good. It was here
where Chris had his 5 bowls of
soup and 1's plates of supper. I
don't know whether he managed
any pie or not,

After we got everyone in the
bus Hans was given I min. to go
and get some supplies for our
latest idea. Our gum chewing
contest between Chris and Sandy.
It was not surprising that
Sandy didn't want anymore gum
afterwards for she managed to
chew 4's packs or 36 sticks of
gum, while Chris sat there chew-
