WEEKEND REPORT
By Joy Katesdatter, Staff Writer
The Town Trip to Keene this weekend
was so popular that
those who were taking Aikido had to go in the station wagon.
Even so, there were no extra seats.
Returning from Keene, the van was
quite crowded with
the school purchases made at Edwards. There was little or
no leg room for most.
A hazardous substance was spilled
at the end of Town
Trip. The bleach was being unloaded and one bottle was
dropped, spilling bleach all over the basketball court.
No plants or animals are alive in the
contaminated
area, which can be easily located by the stain.
Monadnock Monthly Meeting met in the Barn
for the last
time this fall. A Second Hour discussion on homophobia and
related topics started at noon in Mountain House meeting
room, continuing for slightly over an hour.
corinne announced Saturday morning that
the nonviolence
training will take place in Aurora basement, next Friday the
13th.
