HOLLYBURN TRIP
The trip to Hollyburn Mountain under the supervision of Mr. Hunken was held on Saturday, June 15. It had been postponed previously because of bad weather and track and field meets.
The students assembled at the school around 8:20 a.m., and after a roll call, boarded the bus to leave at 8:30. The bus travelled via the Barnet Highway, crossing the Second Narrows Bridge, and on to Lynn Valley.
Here, the students took a dizzy walk over the suspension bridge two hundred feet above Lynn Creek. After a short rest on the other side of the bridge, the students reboarded the bus, which arrived at the lower chairlift depot for Hollyburn Mountain about 11:30. The hill going up to the depot was quite steep, and several students left the bus and walked up to allow it to make the steep grade.
The students then rode the chairlift up the mountain to the Hi-View Lodge at the upper depot. This took about half an hour. They then enjoyed their lunches and refreshments in the lodge. At 12:15 they set out on a hike up towards the top of the mountain.
Lakes and snow were part of the scenery, and the students began applying suntan lotion to ward off the sun's rays reflecting off the snow. Some of the students turned back about half way, but the rest continued on to the top, arriving at about 2:15. From a vantage point of 4345’ they enjoyed a magnificent view of all the surrounding mountains. They began their descent at about 2:35, arriving back at the lodge after 3:30.
After a short rest in the lodge, the students started back down the mountain by the chairlift at about 5:00.
The bus left the lower depot at 5:45 and after travelling over the Lions Gate Bridge and through Vancouver, arrived back at Haney at 7:15.
The day had been perfect, and the students all agreed that they had had a rewarding and enjoyable trip.
Many thanks go to Messrs. Ferguson and Clefstad who acted as supervisors for the trip, as well as the driver who not only drove the students there, but went along on the hike to the top, acting as guide.
