Ski Club Made Excur- sions to Four Lakes Racing down snowy slopes was the breath- taking sport enjoyed by West's first Ski Club. With over a hundred members, the club took advantage of the blustering winter. Members registered and paid a fee to travel to many ski resorts. Three trips were taken to Lyle, Illinois, at the site of Four Lakes. Buffalo Park ski area sixty miles from Joliet was also visited by the Ski Club.
