Backpackers Taste The High Country! This year's Outdoors Club was defi- nitely an outstanding social group on campus. Mr Gabatino. club moderator, managed to get students equipped with boots and packs and head them out on trails of adventures. They be- gan the year with a very organic Trail Mix sale that brought them money for their Catalina Backpack.
