by Karen Maiorano Registration for the Voyageur Island canoe trip is now in progress. Each year for the past six summers Maine South students have participated in a nonschool-sponsored program which is commonly known as the Quetico trip. Quetico is a provincial park in Canada north and west of Lake Superior. This park area is mostly lake country and consists of about 1800 square miles. The wilderness canoe trip is designed for high school students Mr. Bill Drennan. English teacher and sponsor of the trip, stated, "This area is a primitive wilderness The main purpose of the trip is learning to live with nature." This trip gives each student a chance to learn about and study wildlife and view ancient cliff paintings left by stone-age travelers thousands of years ago. No hunting is permitted on the park grounds. Students may fish, but the fish must be for their own consumption. Mr Drennan also stated. "In Quetico you are free from the city environment and its pollution."
