Cedarville Magazine, Spring 2014

Proving that learning takes place both inside and outside of class, they devised a plan to turn The Rock into a giant ice cube. After weeks of planning, weighing numerous strategic pros and cons, they made several 3–4-inch-thick walls of ice using wooden pallets and plastic sheets as a mold. They placed these ice walls around The Rock, forming an open block, and then filled the gaps with snow. The cube was topped with buckets of frigid water retrieved by hand from underneath the frozen Cedar Lake.

Half of the team transported 1,600 pounds of ice, three walls at a time, in a student’s truck. The other half collected snow, packing it around The Rock, and hauled water from the lake. The entire process took three hours, finishing just before curfew. The arctic shenanigan warmed hearts as photos made the rounds on social media and even got a mention on local news. Campus News
