Fun at St. Paul’s Chapel
As the school year draws to a close, classes become more intense, papers and projects come due, and finals loom large. In such trying times there is but one course of action: Have some fun already! And that’s exactly what the students at St. Paul’s Lutheran Chapel have been up to this spring.
The snow was still on the ground when the Chapelites loaded into the van for a hometown tour of Dillion and Marshalltown. Nathan Wolken led the tour which included stops at his home congregation Trinity, Dillion and Taylor’s Maid-Rite.
Midterms and term papers can be real stress inducers. Students have found that stress is quickly calmed by firing a Nerf Gun at your fellow students. Nerf War IV was a night to remember.
CLUE is a great game of whodunit? It becomes twice as fun when come dressed as the characters and use the student center as the board. Death came calling and in the end, the Inactive Member did it in the bell tower with the common cup.
Spring time means spring cleaning. Several students turned out to attack clutter and dirt. The closets and kitchen were no match for our students. They scoured the place from top to bottom. They even cleaned the toaster in which the found, you guessed it, a Nerf dart.
The spring would not be complete without our annual kickball game against College Hill Lutheran. Once again, the Panthers took home the IDE President’s Cup, winning 15 to 13. We’ll get them next year.
We at the chapel give thanks to God for the blessing of this school year. The students have headed home for the summer and we can’t wait for the fall.
