An ice cream truck was promised at sophomore retreat if every sophomore completed service; but many students were surprised when they heard the announcement in the Monday morning blue-sheet. “I feel rewarded enough just by doing service, but ice cream is always a benefit,” sophomore Isabelle Wolpert said.
