You Can’t Fool Mother Nature must have been telling many students to form clubs involving outdoor activities. The participation in the ski and ecology clubs was large. They were successful in fulfilling all goals set. The Ecology Club ran paper and alumi- num drives the third Saturday of every month. They planted a small forest behind the barn at H.H.S. and restored an empty lot with the beauty of flowers. On Veterans’ Day the nature lovers of the club took a hike in Harriman State Park. At the park all the members quickly learned to stay away from poison ivy. The Ecology Club highlighted their year with a four day trip to New Hamp- shire. Mother Nature C'mon work.
