Through cooperative play there are successes just as there are successes through cooperative work projects. On the other hand, some games or work projects don't always succeed. Senior Mark Kilmer remembers a football game played on a snow-covered Ankeny Field during his sophomore year. It resulted in a big, purple, swollen, black eye for me and a dent in Damon Leichman's head that's still there. Nevertheless, the students were able to overcome the obstacle of physical injuries, and the players remained friends, Kilmer said.
Students leave Whitman with a solid education and invaluable experiences on campus and beyond.
But, just as important, they leave with friendships.
