What is the aim or goal of your writing: Brian Long, College El Sixth Grade Class of 1958 says, "For most of us, one of the most enduring features of the College El experience was the annual trip to Sleeper State Park in the first week of October of every year. Since I was only nine years old when I boarded the bus in the fall of 1955, I remember having a certain amount of "Camp Granada" apprehension as we trekked the 100 miles from Mt. Pleasant to Caseville. Although the entire trip took only about three hours, keeping a bunch of grade school kids occupied was not easy. Our fourth grade teacher, Miss Ethel Praeger, gave us maps of things to look for along the way, and tried to solicit our curiosity with each passing point of interest. Some of these things included the merger of the Pine and Chippewa Rivers into the Tittabawassee in Midland, the Dow Chemical plant, the lumbermen's mansions in Bay City, and the coal mines in Unionville.
