EL ARCHIVERO S5 HORSES AND CAMPING CAMPING got off to a quick start this year due to a plentiful supply of water in the creeks. The first two intrepid parties, one a Middle School group and the other of Lower Uppers, left for the Sespe on September 27th. The Middle Schoolers, who arrived at the CCC Camp first, began to search for their trucked-in supplies, and were still at it when the Lower Uppers rode in an hour later. One of them walked over to the Ranger's cabin and found a note by his front door, telling the location of the missing equipment. Three weeks later the first of the New Boys' Trips pushed through to the Sespe. The ample water supply enabled the Pack and Saddle Club to divide the new boys into eight independent groups consisting of a teacher, two old boys, and four or Hve new ones. This way the new boys learned more about camping. Four of the groups on this weekend were quite successful, but the fifth found it somewhat difficult to eat without plates or frying pans! The next weekend a threat of rain stopped all but a group of volunteers who were to do brush work at Pattonis. Later in the Fall the first Smut trip, at Patton's, was snowed upon. Three Seniors also trucked to the CCC to look for Indian artifacts with renowned archaeologists Ignon and May. Right after Christmas Vacation some Lower Uppers ranged from Mount Able to Point Conception in the Amby with Mr. May.

56 EL ARCHIVERO On March 21st the Pack and Saddle rode to Pattonis Cabin for baked Alaska and initiationsg while the Bit and Spur went to Middle Lion Camp. At the same time some vacationing Basketball players visited Spruce Fallsg and Lower Schoolers, Dynamite. This year there were two Easter trips. One, composed of Rose, Eggers, Bonebakker, Work, and Cooley, went into back country seldom traversed by Thacher campers. They rode west to Mono and then pushed through brush over trailless hills to Madulce Guard Station on Big Pine Mountain. From there they dropped down across the Cuyama Valley climbed Mount Able to Mill Potrero. In their attempt to cross Sawmill Mountain to Plush's on a trail a Ranger had recommended, they were stopped when it disappeared. Spending an extra day, they detoured through Cuddy Valley, then rode to Willet's for baths in the hot springs. The other Easter trip rode the Carry-All, driven by Mr. Shagam, on an eventful expedition to Mexico. Pursued by Montezuma, they roared through Mazatlan and Guadalajara to Mexico City, where they scaled the temples of Teotihuacan. The party returned to School at the end of vacation well trained in the arts of cocoanut-eating, restaurant-cuisining, and milk-avoid- ing. The Lower-Middle School Extra Day Trip was, compared to those of years past, very successful. Boys swam in Sespe pools and Santa Paula Canyon creeks, while other more energetic parties toured the Mutau. The two trips attempting Chorro Grande Loop encountered a familiar difficulty-no trails -this time on Reyes Peak. One trip detoured via Ozena and the other turned back. The Upper School Extra Day Trip found the Upper Uppers sailing to Santa Cruz Island under benevolent skies. The courageous swam in sub- zero surfg while others played volleyball, fished, or hiked to the ranch head- quarters. On the second day strong winds came up, and a skiff and an air mattress sailed out at high tide .for Honolulu, never to be seen again. The cruise back over heavy swells and under cover of haze was uneventful but seemed to disturb the gastric balance of several stomachs. At the same time Lower Upper Parties loafed in the Sespe and rodle to the Mutaug while the A campers toured Little Mutau and Alder Creek. A final party of Gymkhana enthusiasts traveled to Fillmore. During the next two weekends seven more trips were taken into the Sespe as boys had their last chance for camping. This spring a Horseman's Classification Program was instituted. Its pro- visions, after being drafted by a committee of fifteen boys who represented all aspects of the horse program, were finally adopted by the Student Council. The program divides all horse-boys into four groups: Green horns, comprised
