Hunting and Fishing This club, composed of a small group of enthusiastic sportsmen, engaged in such activities as: hunting ot small and large game, coon hunting, a Christmas Bird Count sponsored by the National Audubon Society, and a live-predator-killing contest with the winner receiving a free subscription to the Pennsylvania Game News. A visit to the club by the local game protector, and a day spent with him afield setting rabbit traps in closed hunting areas to secure rabbits for release, and placing corn for wild ducks was a high light of the year. The year's reward, however, was a trip to the lack Miner Bird Sanctuary, Kingsville, Ontario.

While not much was done during the cold winter months, we engaged in various sports, such as volleyball, soccer, ping- pong, and hiking. This year we are buying a badminton set, an outdoor game similar to tennis. The club helps us to get out in the open and enjoy the wonderful things God has given us. Boys' Athletic Association During the winter months we lengthened and widened the ping-pong tables to regulation size, and painted them. Ping-pong, checkers, and Chinese checkers tournaments were the most prominent indoor games. As spring approached we bought baseball equipment. When the weather was nice we played baseball and other outdoor games. All of us were glad for this extra recreational period twice a month. -2g- Adviser: D. Pehley: I. Beisel: M.
