Scope and content
Robin Hood (left) and Bert Wilson stand beside the paddle-boards that they built in their woodworking class at Stadium High School in this photograph from October 24 , 1939. The two young men had just ridden their 12 ft. 7 in. long boards almost 25 miles down the Carbon River. Starting several miles upstream from South Prairie, they negotiated their boards around rapids, log jams and rocks for over 5 hours. (T.Times, 10/24/1939, p. 11).
