Getting Away From It All student Life at WHS was by no means easy, and even the most studious and inard-working students needed a break every nov and tiien. One good way to unwind from the tension of exams, homework, and jobs was to simply get away from it all, and the WHS Language Club did that by going to Bendix Woods County Park, where they ate, played games like pass the gourd, and enjoyed each other ' s company. Upon returning, many club memoers had to hurry to complete homework assignments for the following day, but the fun they had at the picnic was well worth the effort. (Above) John Emmons shows how he passes the gourd at the Language Club picnic. (Top right) Language Club members are grimly lool ing for a firing squad at Bendix Woods.
