Various Activities Occ In mid-October two students from Mr. Ross's senior English classes vowed that although they lived in the push-button society of the 20th century, they could withstand the elements of nature like the ancient cave dwellers and they set out to prove their point Dan Hoffman and Al Scherwinski made a bet with Mr. Ross that they could live, with few modern con- veniences and a budget of one dollar, in a tent for one week. Surprisingly enough, the boys won the wager. With the aid of sleeping bags, matches, a soup bone, and shotguns, Al and Dan camped twelve miles from town, hunting partridge and digging potatoes so as not to die from starvation! By the end of their adventure, Dan had lost fifteen pounds while Al had lost thirteen pounds. Dan Hoffman and Al Scherwinski posed for the pho- tographer at their campsite, showing the weapons they used to obtain food. The boys prepared all their meals at the campsite, Wary campers, the boys were always ready in case except for those they earned working in the kitchen at they had some wild visitors in the evening, school. 22

upied Time Each month, an artist from the advanced art class displayed his or her work in the Park Falls Herald. This Herald photo shows Betty Borgen and her work. Common friends provided Tom Pepper and Marge Hilgart, a cake on their mutual birthday. Many other activities kept Lincoln High School students busy. Artistically inclined students had the opportunity to show their talents to the town. The Park Falls Herald printed a picture of the student and his work each month. This gave art students something to work for. This winter, the community sponsored the state snowmobile contest. Many of the Lincoln High School students entered the race — some even placing in their classes. Noon recreation in the gym, plus a noon study hall in the cafeteria also gave the students some activities during the school day. Many local students showed their racing skills at the State Snowmobile Derby held here in Park Falls. Seen here are Bill Jeske, Mike Boushon, and Mike Grassel. 23
