60 EL ARCHIVERO PACK AND SADDLE HE Hrst item on the Pack and Saddle's agenda for 1958-1959 was the New Boys' Camping Trip. Good fall weather allowed the Club to split its charges into eight parties and send them out on two successive weekends. This division made the trip far more camp-like than had been possible in the mob exodus of previous years. The annual Treasure Hunt to encourage trail riding sent many members of the School into the hills searching for tongue depressors. Ignon, Kristofferson, and Ward won the three pieces of horse equipment which were prizes. On March 21 Callander, Kulli, Stewart, Smith and Work were initiated into the Pack and Saddle in a ceremony at Patton's Cabin. The chef-d'oeuvre of the expedition was the first-known camp-made Baked Alaska, produced by Dave Williams and Lloyd DuBois. During the course of the year, the Club had devoted much time to trail building, maintenance, and measurement. The new William S. McCaskey Trail was constructed between the Rhodes-Metcalf and the Grech. Members of the PTS did extensive brush and mattock work on the Phelps, Twin Peaks, Bird Baths, Marshall, Huntington, Rhodes-Metcalf, and Hoyt-Isaacson Trails. Bonebakker obtained a Forest Service od'ometer and measured many trails. At the gymkhana banquet Porter received the Pack and Saddle Cup as High-Point Lower Schooler, and at the Spanish Banquet, the Cup for the best horseman in the Lower School was awarded to David Van Horne. Chris Rose and Henry Eggers replace John Case and Lynn White as President and Secretary-Treasurer. BIT AND SPUR O begin club activities this Fall, the Bit and Spur organized a new boy's picnic at Sarazotti Park. After the steak dinner the boys rode back to school in the moonlight along Shelf Road. The next club project was to put water back into the Pines' water trough. Led by President Bell, a few members horsebackedf to the Pines with tools and spare fittings and managed to clear out the clogged piping system, making it possible to refill the trough. During the winter term the Bit and Spur turned out to whitewash the outdoor ring and renovate the Kahle Trail in preparation for the Trail Horse Class in the Yale-Thacher Gymkhana. Work also has been started recently on the job of measuring the trails around the school more accurately in a concerted effort with the Pack and Saddle to revise the mileage chart. The initiation ceremonies climaxed the year's activities when the entire club pushed over the ridge to Middle Lion Canyon Camp for a camping
