Elon Students Plunge For Possibly The Last Time
By Joe Bruno
On a typical Elon day, a student can swim in Beck Pool. However, for one day a year students are welcomed to jump into Lake Mary Nell at North Area’s Annual Polar Bear Plunge.
However with construction taking place in and around North Area, the Polar Bear Plunge is in jeopardy.
“This is such a good memory for Elon students every year,” said senior Sarah Hoopes. “I think it is a really good tradition and I hope the North Area council three years from now does start it back up.”
Hoopes is the organizer of the plunge and this year over 150 students took the dive into the geese, swan and duck infested waters. The temperature at the time of the plunge was in the 30s.
Students who took the plunge will receive a free long sleeve t-shirt. Students will be emailed when they are able to pick up the shirts.
