MOUNTAINEERING CLUB President: john C. Stone ll Vice-President: Leslie D. Wilson Secretary: George F. Russell Adviser: Mr. Robert Bates ln its first full year of activity, the Moun- taineering Club was able to make many rock- climbing trips to nearby Bald Head and the Pawtuckaways, which resulted in much experience with ropes. On the fourth weekend of the fall term, five members and Mr. Bates formed the first party from Exeter to climb the Pin- nacle of Mt. Washington. Despite freezing temperatures, the summit was reached after a four- hour climb up the six-hundred foot buttress. The party descended over Lion's Head and returned to school after an ex- cellent outing. On its next overnight trip the club climbed Mount Lafayette, staying at the Greenleaf A.M.C. hut, but no rock climb- ing could be done the next day because of a one hundred mile wind. The club added two more summits to its conquests, how- ever, by climbing Lafayette and Lincoln. During the winter term activities were confined to lectures. On january nine- teenth, Bob Dobson, '43, and Pete Peterson, the survivor of the longest recorded fall into a crevasse, presented an illustrated lecture on the Ronne expedition. A week later, Bill Putnam delivered a lecture illustrated by colored films on Mt. St. Alias. At the last meeting of the winter term Lynn Erskine, '42, spoke on his climbing experiences while in the Selkirks of the Coastal Range. All these open meetings were well attended, showing that a large interest in climbing has developed at Exeter since the Moun- taineering Club was started. fi 3 1' huh?

Dorrance Adviser: Mr. Wood The Chess Club met as usual this year every Monday evening of the fall and win- ter terms in Room 5 of the Academy Build- ing. Membership was small, but the inter- est of those who attended regularly was high. During the fall term the annual tourna- . , , TT .' x 1 5: 1 P 1 l bf . ky f TL- , :Sig 1 g ,R ,Q by l , ment was held and in the final match Dick Dorrance defeated john Humphreys. ln the winter term the club played a ladder tourna- ment, varied by an occasional chess prob- lem. At the end of the year the first four places on the ladder were held by Walt Nance, Dick Dorrance, john Humphreys, and Dave Sperling. Much credit is due to the club's able adviser, Mr. Wood, who devoted a great deal of his time to the club this year. jlO4j '

OUTING CLUB Front Row: Lewis, Hummel, Pearson, A. Hinckley, Arnhols, Schaub. Back Row: Paton, Cousens, Hemminger, Peterson, Lincoln, Dr. Phillips. OUTINC CLUB President: james C. Pearson Adviser: Dr. Phillips Because of the variety of field and cy- cling trips that it offered, the Outing Club had a large turnout this year. Expeditions to Mt. Aggamenticas and to the Pawtucka- U05 way Hills bore excellent results, for the club was able to do some rock-climbing and to hike over Cullhouse Cliffs with the Mountaineering Club. Last year's trip to Mount Washington was so successful that a similar one was planned for the spring term. l
