RICHARD ALLISON, VHS shop teacher (upper right), directed multiflora roses planting Saturday at Dunes State Park to prevent erosion on sandy slopes. The first shift planted about a thousand of them when the rains came. Edward Weisse, of Chesterton, assistant principal of Evans school, Hobart, was in charge of the group camp which included 110 pupils of the sixth to eighth grades at Evans school.
