Hiking Club 3 fl9| H H£ WaS ly S vii. BK ▼BMBH H l| H|k.- |pr.- HR In May of 1965 a group of students from Alta Loma High School hiked to the top of Ontario Peak. The students had just organized a club with Mr. Balding as the sponsor and with their new charter hikes and thousands ot miles. The Hiking club has an outing each school month some are overniters and the others are day hikes. Annual events include snow survival trip to San Gorgonio and a weekend camping trip to an island in the Pacific, Catalina. The club is attended by those who enjoy the outdoors and like to share the wilderness with friends. The hikes are often demanding and for that reason a person must run a mile in less than 8 ' ; minutes to become a member ot the club. As the sponsor. Mr. Balding likes to hike and climb. He has made several ascents of Mt. Whitney, Shasta, Rainier, Olympus and other mountains. He especially likes to hike with the tine students from Alta Loma High School and has made many friends during the past 19 years as the hiking club advisor. L to R, Brian Lewis.
