For the first time in many years the senior class took a trip. Although it wasn't a big trip it was enjoyed by all who attended. With Mr. Lehman at the wheel the class headed for Lake of the Woods along with Miss Hake. Many of the kids brought their own refreshments and noon time found them trying to get their fire going. Most of the day, however, was spent exploring the park. A golf course afforded several seniors the chance to practice up. A majority of the students discovered that although the swimming area wasn't open yet the boats were. For about an hour the lake was covered with paddle boats and row boats that seemed to ram each other no matter how much the boathouse man blew his whistle. Back at the picnic area the school had provided several pieces of athletic equipment, and they were put to good use. There was a continual softball game going all day. There was also whiffle ball, volleyball, kickball and football games being played. Some of the kids also brought their frisbies. Mr. Lehman and Miss Hake were very athletic chaperons and participated in almost all the games. The day ended with a trip to the Dairy Queen.
