Thursday, July 30- Jacob's Pillow

Another outing that was always on the calendar, was Jacob's Pillow. This was the summer destination of many nationally known dance companies. It was sort of the Tanglewood of dance. I remember it was a pretty long bus ride, and we always got back to camp pretty late. On Thursday July 30th, 1959, the Inters made the trek. This entry is from the 1960 Lenorlog:

"After rest hour, the Inters left for Jacob's Pillow. All must admit the hour and a half bus ride was fun, songs and all. Then came the moving graceful performance which was enjoyed by everyone. Soon we were on the ten minute ride to Jacob's Ladder. By the roadside we saw Jacob's Ladder, sisty-five feet tall. Many fearless campers climbed it. We enjoyed supper in the icnic area. Inside, we bought refreshments and souvenirs. We all agreed that it was a fun-filled afternoon."
