Life
at Sunnyview
| ||
|
Being a student was not all
school work. Children completed chores such as hauling drinking water
and stove wood. In the winter, they skied on the slope behind Sunnyview
or used a scoop shovel as a sled. In the spring they played softball,
although not everyone had gloves; they also played duck on a rock,
which honed their throwing skills. And, at least in the 1930s, Sunnyviews students occasionally got to take field trips. Among these were a ride on the Caryville Ferry, a tour of Morningstar Farms, and a visit to the brand-new Paul Bunyan Camp in Eau Claires Carson Park. |
