But with this only wishful thinking, the only other possibility would be through large scale transportation to nearby swimming holes. .So, we - heartily recommend to the Re creation Coordinated Committee that arrangements be made for a truck.or bus. to make weekly trips to Whipple's Dam. in the interests of a cooler student body.
