8．SOUTH PARIS，Maine For eight students in the Wilderness Leadership class at Oxford Hills High School，a three-day weekend hike in the White Mountain National Forest sounded like a fun，challenging course requirement．
But when a storm dumped up to 3feet of snow on western Maine，a harsh learning experience turned into a crash course in winter survival．
Reported missing from their scheduled meeting place in Gilead at 5：30p．m．Sunday，the eight students and two teachers were not found until 11a．m．yesterday[Monday]，after a pilot spotted the group moving in rugged snow-blanketed area．The discovery followed an unsuccessful ground search by volunteers on snowshoes．
After the group was reported missing Sunday，volunteers hiked 3miles into the woods to look for the students．The five-hour effort turned up nothing and the decision was made to wait until yesterday morning to alsocanvass the area by air．
A Maine Warden Service pilot lifted off and spotted the group close to their intended trail at about 11a．m．Strong airflow prevented him from descending toward the hikers but the group clearly recognized the plane as part of a search team．
"They waved at the plane．They laid down，spread out，and waved，"said Mark Latti，a spokesman for the Maine Warden Service．"The pilot then guided a search party into their location．"
