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

YACHT CLUB Commodore: David Erdman Vice-Commodore: Timothy Walker Secretary: Edwin C. Gibson Adviser: Mr. Everett Early in the fall term forty sailors came to the Big Room to join the Phillips Exeter Academy Yacht Club. Although these mem- bers were put through swimming tests, forced to splice unwieldy hawsers, and dragged away from Sunday afternoon free- dom, they felt rewarded when they raced the dinghies in the fall and spring terms, both on Kingston Pond and at various re- gattas. ln fact their rewards seemed so attractive that membership in the Club eventually grew to fifty-nine. In the first regatta of the year, which was sponsored by Proctor Academy, the Red and C-ray made a poor showing. Although Commodore Erdman sailed very well, the Club finished third, behind Proctor and Andover. With snow on the ground and ice on Kingston Pond, the Yacht Club, confined its winter activities to preparation for an active spring term. The boats were stored beneath the Stadium and were painted and caulked, preparatory to being launched again. During the spring term several seniors took sailing as a regular sport under the direction of Mr. Everett. The program turned out to be very successful, and the Club plans to maintain it as an additional recreation during future years. Mr. Everett's unselfish and whole-hearted interest is largely responsible for the Club's continued popularity. Making available a great deal of the necessary capital, gene- rously devoting a large portion of his spare time to the Club's interest, and using his car for transportation to and from the pond, Mr. Everett has indeed been the guiding spirit of the P.E.A. Yacht Club since it was founded in l945. N061
