Through wind, rain, and snow the skiers attending the annual ski school bravely fought to master all the niceties of skiing from the beginner's snowplow to the expert's christy. During the season many novices acquired a love of skiing and a mastery of many skills. Wilson was represented in all area ski meets by the Wilson Ski Team, coached by Mr. Berge. This year also brought the be- ginning of 'a girls' ski team. Wilson was represented, too, by students participating in the outings sponsored by Klahanie, the Wilson Ski Club. As the season drew to a close t-he outings were remembered, and plans for next year were made with great anticipation.
