Riding club was organized to give those students interested in horses an opportunity to learn to ride or to improve their abilities. The club this year was composed of 23 girls. They met on three different times: one day for beginners, another for intermediates, and a third for the advanced. Each group rode once a week for ten weeks. Each spring the club gives a horse show in which all the members participate. Skiing One of the newer, but very popular clubs at the high school is the Ski club. During the 1951 term, membership soared to approximately 75 skiers. The members call themselves Sitzboomers and each is equipped with an emblem to prove it. During the year movies on skiing techniques were shown, and pro- fessional skiers also gave lectures at the Thursday afternoon meetings. And the Gltance to- SUaA xen Aim Courage, rifles, and blue jeans were all that were necessary to enjoy an afternoon for those in Girls Rifle club. The time was usually Wed- nesday at 3:30.
