Show School officials, looking sadly at the vast blue-green of Pine View reservoir and wondering what to do with all that water at the end of the ice-skating season, suddenly realized that water is an excellent medium for boats. So it was that strings were pulled and the Explorers' Yacht Club was made available to lubberly collegians. Thus far the idea has resulted in large amounts of unadulterated fun and very few avoidable drownings. Officials prophesy that as soon as students become fully aware of the wholesome uses of water-besides chasing slugs of bottled-heat down collegian throats-the school will turn as one man to the recreational joy of riding a catamaran or canoe around the lake.
