Arnold takes clan hiking in oming Last summer Mr. John Arnold took a clan of four adults and ten kids to the mountains of Wyoming for Outdoor Education. The eight-day trip was definately a learning experience for all. The trip taught everyone the way of the country. They learned to cook, pack, rapel, and also various skills of mountain climbing. The group held conservation talks which helped show how to camp without destruction and the best way to make do with what you have. The fishing wasn't too bad, was one comment made by Mr. Arnold. When they weren't fishing or hiking the explorers learned new games they could play. Games, activities and skills could all be learned at the high school. Within the last three years an educational obstacle course made up of telephone poles, ropes, and a tall wooden wall was built in a lot near the school. This obstacle course enabled students to learn skills before they went up to the mountains. As the kids learned to trust their own skills as well as others', an awareness was gained, Mr. Arnold said. Another trip was planned for the summer. i by Tommy Toms fBelow Leftj Kathy Kaiser takes her share of the court from Deb Forsch in a badminton tournament. fBottomi Freshman P.E. class prepares for a rugby game. fBelow Rightb Coach Arnold teaches an unusual form of soccer jr- ,waist V' ' - .. 1.w'?i we W , ls ' Physical Education - 53
