Ski Club Organizes by Bill Shannon Xll From the minds of the boys of grade twelve and com- mercial came the inspiration of a ski-club., lt was during a health class that this idea was brought forward and discussed. Finally, after much dickering, an announcement was made that a meeting would be held in Room Six. On the given day, the prospective skiers arrived. They came in two's, they came in fourns , and when they started the third tier, some one suggested that we move to the gym. In the gallery were ap- proximately 100 enthusiasts, all wishing to ski. At Mr., McFarlane s suggestion, it was decided that one boy and one girl would be elected to lead the organization. After a brief election, Nan Scott and Bill Shannon were chosen as the executive. Therest of the meeting was filled with awkward pauses and stammering, but by the time the 4.10 bell had rung, the skiers had impressed in their minds that over the Christmas Holidays, they were to get as much equipment as possible. The ski club remained dormant until school resumed in January. An outing was organized for the first Sunday in January. A bus was chartered and special rates were arranged with the Hamil- ton Ski Club at one dollar per person., Nan and Bill expected that al-J though the outing had been arranged on very short notice, at least 40 of the l00 present at the first meeting, would show up. Apparently their judgment was wrong, for on Sunday only fifteen people - not count- ing the bus drivers appeared.lTo charter a bus for fifteen people was ridiculous, and so after the bus driver was paid two dollars to take his bus home, all the skiers piled into Mr., Bakerls car Qbless him!! and Malcolm Fraserl S truck and headed for the hills. We all enjoyed ourselves, and l can assure the other eighty-five members that they would have enjoyed themselves also. This was the only organized trip of the winter, although a small stalwart group continued to go out every Sunday. ll H ll
