EASTON STUDENTS took part in a ropes course at the UMPI campus. Pictured from left are: Reed Clark, Jake Bacon, Holden Turner, Zach Clark, Sarah Plourde and Ariana Babineau. They are listening to instructions on walking the high ropes at UMPI. The professor was Lenny Cole, and his students from Recreation 386 helped teach the session.
Jacob Bacon is looking quite confident about the high wire. He and other Easton students traveled to UMPI recently to get a lesson on how to maneuver the ropes course.
