students are too short!<br />

The group is warned of the risk.<br />

Students are closely supervised in this<br />

activity.<br />

Students are warned always to balance the<br />

yoke on their shoulders, not their neck.<br />

Buckets are never more than filled.<br />

been part of<br />

this<br />

program.<br />
