SKI IMPROVEMENT fSpringJ The function of Ski Improvement is, as the name implies, to improve he ski trails. This spring our ef- forts were directed toward the out- ing that the school had on May 13th. We have a hard hitting, axe swinging crew, and when there was job to be done our infamous leader, Mr. Wilder, led us through, sing the scientific method. Despite the fact that he had a few brushes with death, Mr. Wilder ept on valiantly. Next year as you ki the new and greatly improved rails, you'll know we were there and did a good job. SKI IMPROVEMENT SKI IMPROVEMENT fFallb The main concern of Ski Im- provement this year was the widen- ing of two of the three main slopes. Every day about twelve boys would pile into the school truck and head for the Pinnacle. Above all could be heard Mr. Lary crying, Don't chop down that pine treen, or Hey, why donit you watch where youirc swinging that axe. As it turned out the only injury in- flicted was the growing of white hair by Mr. Lary and maybe a stray ulcer. As the year went on, we had the help of Cainpcraft, Waterfront, Tennis, and some of Football. All in all, quite a bit of work was done and a lot of improvement took place. SKI IMPROVEMENT CSpringJ Front Row: Thompson, Robertson, West. Back Ro-uf: Mr. Wilder, Moses, Bruder, Bosworth, Clancy.

Third Row: Mr. Wakely, Johnson, G., Ellis, Barndt, Etflnger, Gignoux, Lane, Lawson, van Zandt, Mr. Wood, Mr. Allen. WATERFRONT We on waterfront didn't know what to expect' when Mr. Allen, Mr. Yaggy and Mr. Wakely asked us to step onto the scales, tape measures in their hands ready to measure our wrists, biceps, triceps, quadtriceps, and earlobes. When Mr. Allen announced we would, for the next six weeks, have a body and muscle building pro- gram, a chorus of cheers, catcalls and groans erupted. However, with a little gentle QPJ persuasion from the masters involved, we resolved to tolerate the inconvenience. We were to have 30 minutes each day of calisthenics, not the usual kind, but ones designed to give us more stamina and endurance. At first, a few of us, mainly Mr. Wakely, com- plained of aches and pains, but as the program progressed, most of us loosened up to the extent that We were so numb we didn't feel the pain any longer. The program turned out to be quite a success, with many boys gaining muscle and solidifying some of their vacationing mus- cle. The most gain was made by Tony Freed who gained 21 inches overall.

CAMPCRAFT fFalll First Row: Bell, Tuthill, Culbertson, Heath, Clancy, Hack. Back Row: Mr. Baldwin, Mosser, Leich, Peck, Dickinson, Milliken, Wall, Gallagher, D., Mr. Ackley. CAMPCRAFT fSpringj This spring Campcraft did many odd things compared to thewother activities. Probably the most popular event was our sugaring off party where we boiled maple syrup and then let it cool on snow. We helped Ski Improvement on the Pinnacle, clearing the slopes. Some days we went off with Mr. Baldwin and went in circles for an hour and a half, as we were learning how to use a compass. We did some work on a new cross-country trail, and the cabin on Tug Mountain. CAMPCRAFT CAMPCRAFT CFall7 This year Campcraft went up t Tug Mountain where the schoo cabin is being built. When we first got there w started to build a big tool box s that we could leave all our equip ment up at the cabin site and no have to keep bringing it up. Whil part of the group worked on th cabin fitting logs and trimmin them, the other half worked on im proving the trail that was all read there hoping that it would be read for skiing by winter. just before Thanksgiving, Camp craft had improved the trail greatl and had also made a big additio to the school cabin.
