We started with the huge piles of salt. Our guide told us that the salt used at the plant is sea salt and taht it comes from Lower Cali fornia. It is brought to Portland four times a year by ship. Pennsalt recovers all kinds of different chemicals which are present in the seat salt such as; hydroxides of sodium and potas sium, and ammonia. It took over three hours to tour the entire plant but everyone who made the trip thought it was worth it. Sometimes the record does not do justice to the team, and that is the way most students feel about this years gridders. While the seas ons total stacks up to a 3 win 6 loss record, the Braves played some very fine ball and proved to every- ones satisfaction that they were able to stay in there and take it when the going got tough.
