Outing Club tural bridge on it, the preliminary work on a guest cabin for the use of the faculty and par- ents, and the addition of several new lights in the kitchen and dining room. Instead of the usual Canadian trip, last spring was spent in the Smokey Mountains of Tennessee, climbing over overgrown trails and sleeping in a hill-billy's front yard. Several other members of the club, as guests of Dr. Kase, enjoyed themselves in Canada in the meantime. A trip to Youngstown to hike in the city's beautiful Mill Creek park and a trip to Pitts- burgh to visit the Buhl Planetarium were extra features of this year with the Outing Club. An exchange of outings between the C-rove City club and the Westminster club was also held and another is hoped for in the spring. Plans for the spring also include a Canadian trip even more rugged than those that have preceded it. These trips are taken in Algonquin Provincial Park in Ontario where Dr. Kase has a cabin. It won't be long now before a happy group of Outing clubbers will be launching canoes into a blue Canadian lake. Page S ixty-seven

Quting Club In spite of wartime difficulties this, the seventh year of the Outing Club was one of activity and adventure. The influx of new freshmen sent the membership up to forty, and their continued efforts together with those of the old members have kept the club on safe ground financially. Still spending afternoons cutting wood and felling trees, the club has filled orders for fire- wood and kindling all over town and even to Mercer. Old lvory, the power saw, so named because it floats has been a great help in speeding up the work program, and Big Mac, the truck, has even been able to operate on the snow covered roads of a rugged Grove City winter. Hard work has its compensations, though, as anyone will know who has spent a weekend at the club cabin near Bullion. Not only are the usual outdoor sports-hiking, skiing, swim- ming, and tobogganing-enjoyed, but indoor activities as well are features of a regular week- end of fun, Square dancing, pingpong, fireside songfests, or just playing the vic and reading round out the cIub's program of recreation, meditation, relaxation. Indoor fun is even more enjoyable this year since the addition of rock-wool insulation and storm windows. Oth- er improvements to the cabin and its surround- ings include a library which was begun by sev- eral contributions from alumni and friends, the blazing and clearing of a new trial, the Purple Trail which has the added attraction of a na- Page Sixty-six
