This was goingto be a great day for a day trip.  We were going to the White Pines DinnerTheater... the program was "Jukebox Memories, Songs of the 40's and 50's".Since this time period included courtship, marriage, and the birth of ason, this day promised to be bathed in nostalgia for my wife and I.     We left early to allow time to take a less traveled route along theEast bank of the Rock River.  The scenery was enhanced  by the white cottonclouds drifting slowly across the deep blue sky.     We arrived at White Pines State Park an hour early... allowing timefor a walk in the woods before the noon dinner.  The wildflowers wereglorious, especially the lavender blooming wild geraniums.     The buildings housing the restaurant, dinner theater, gift shop, andguest cabins were built by the Civilian Conservation Corp in the 30's.  Therustic log cabin style blends well with nature.     The buffet dinner was delicious.  The laid back atmosphere with guestsseated at tables of eight encouraged people to become acquainted with thestrangers seated at the same table.     The program lived up to our expectations.     The dessert, a delicious raspberry cobbler, was served during theintermission.

At least one judge will be anon-programmer.3. Entries must be written entirely during the allotted time; no sourcecode -- printed or on any form of computer-readable media -- may be used(although sample source code printed inside standard and acceptablereference materials is allowed), and the program must run on an Apple IImodel present at KFest.4. Any version of any development environment and programming language maybe used; however, there may not be any libraries, header files, or macrosets used that aren't standard-issue for that version of the developmentenvironment or programming language.5. Programs can't require unusual additional software or hardware; it's upto the judges to decide what constitutes "unusual."  The participant shouldask in advance.6.
