Submitted for your approval.... The ides of November approach... What students at a small New England prep school can not know is that they've entered a twilight zone... a dimension of time and space lost between equinox and solstice... neither fall nor winter. A ripple in the fabric of spacetime in which a ski team executes leapfrog relays on Carr Field.
We're caught in a realm between shadow and direct light... It's time to test a prototypic kayak on the pond. The committee that determines the definition of a slalom kayak has decided to throw out the length stipulation, thereby encouraging weekend 'yakers to take a run on the wild side. Westy, a junior, has hacked off the bow and stern of his formerly pointy boat, and fashioned a blunt, wholly unique modification. Below, he discusses a possible mold for mass producing new boats while mentor Bert Hinkley takes #1 through some turns.
The results are cause for celebration.
On Farrell Field, five boys play rugby.... a sport not offered here.
Welcome....to the Twilight Zone.....
