Freshmen Ropes

By Carl Blackhurst, Recreational Director

The Freshmen class participated in the first High Ropes Lock-in of the school year on Saturday, Novemher 21st.  Seventy-six freshmen assembled in the gym at 9:00PM to Midnight and participated in a variety of games, and activities designed to increase team work and trust among their fellow Freshmen.
The highlight for the night was the last hour and a half when students challenged themselves both physically and mentally on several High Ropes Elements.
