I find your analysis of the dangers disturbing. There were potential rescuers standing well away from the car. The stupid part was assuming a car which had fallen through the ice would stay on top of another patch of ice only a few feet away. If the skid plate was longer and attached to the car, that would not have been an issue.
Step 1: Put on a lab coat, buy some vodka and walk around a college campus offering it to young adults who take off their shirts in the name of science.
Step 2: Show photos to random members of the opposite sex. Ask them very personal questions while doing so.

Attended high school from '72 -- '74. The cool kids never carried anything, much less books.
I have never understood why anyone needed to carry anything more than a notebook. Reading and book problems were done at home before class. Teachers spent the entire class lecturing or supervising tests. One got out of homeroom by doing library "research" or being part of a club.
