MINN-A-KEE
MINN-A-KEE - On the tenth anniversary of the exceptional Minn-a-kee outdoor education pro- gram, we the students of this year's class ponder how future students of C.C.I. will function without this wonderful experi- ence. As many know, this year will likely be the last for this program.
We wonder how future classes will get by without knowing which tree is which, being able to build
an ice quin-zhe and going on the trips of a lifetime. But most of all, we feel badly that they will be deprived of hearing the stories of "The Nickel", some of which in- clude saving a drowning dog, the all-pro sportsman, the ski pole, splintmaster and even being on Baywatch in his spare time.
We have learned a lot of things in this course, but we believe that the most important thing was how to get along with each other, and in learning this we all became bet- ter friends!
