When they had conquered the glacier, they became more secure as they knew that the way would be easier. In a short time they reached Basket- ball Boulder. It stood directly in their path and reared its glistening sides in- vitingly to those who were willing to try. Some of the climbers, Ladimir Moudry. Max Mabel, Brune Dunmore, Lester Har- ris, Arthur Pierson, and Russell Hennigan made the climb easily, while the others turned and made their way around. Back from the upper canyon came the distress callg and a trusty lad, Ladimir Moudry, answered the call. He found that another party had reached Debating Chasm and needed assistance. He un- selfishly spent his time in aiding his com- rades until finally the gap was Won. Onward our climbers went slowly and steadily, with their eyes ever turned to- ward the rosy haze at the end of the path. Patiently and tirelessly they plodded for- ward and, in the glorious days to come, are bound to make the grade and stand, look- ing down upon the opportunities spread before them.

Standing grouped around their trusty guide, Miss Hulbert, they chose their lead- ers for the coming year. Max Mabel, a well liked newcomer, was elected for the chief leader of the band. Junior Quinn was assistant, Juanita Brunke was chosen as chief scribe, and Anna O'Brien was selected as chief custodian of provisions. When they gathered their equipment, they started along the rocky path. At first they became weary, for they had not yet become used to the hardships of the trail, but soon they became used to the ways of the trail and plodded steadily onward. At Football Ridge, Max Mabel and Arthur Pierson reached the summit with Brune Dunmore, Russell Hennigan, Clif- ford Campbell, and Donald Molander close behind. Then at a comparative level spot they performed their greatest achievement of the year, the Sophomore Party. After the excitement was over, they set out on their weary way again. They soon reached Examination Glacier, which lay before them glistening white and treach- erous. Never daunted, our sturdy climb- ers pushed cautiously forward. Some of rPage twenty -six
