BOOTS AND SADDLE The Boots and Saddle Club was organ- ized eight years ago at Frankford for the benefit of those students interested in rid- ing. Some knowledge of riding is desired but not required for membership in the club. Members ride on Friday afternoons from Taylor's Riding Academy along pic- turesque Pennypack Creek. This club has no officers, no dues, and few rules.
