Organized Activities

Some activities included a sewing club, Girl Guides and Women's Auxiliary branches for the girls, Boy Scouts and Wolf Clubs for the boys.

The school also had an Air Cadet program.

Both boys and girls played baseball and soccer.

A skating rink was set up on the lake in the winter and in the summer students were taught to swim and would bathe in the lake.

Older boys were permitted to go on organized hunting and fishing trips.

Overcrowding

It was noted that in the girl's dormitory the beds were so close that they touch at the sides making them extremely susceptible to respiratory diseases such as tuberculosis.

Illness and Death

At Pelican there was an outbreak in September 1940 where 40 students were afflicted with measles.
