GLEE CLUB A D OCTET The Glee Club provides an opportunity for boys to sing together for their own pleasure as well as that of others. Their annual appearances begin with the Sunday morning service on Parents Wfeekend and in- clude the traditional Candle Light Service of Christmas carols and the Northfield Music Festival in March. Outside performances often include a visit to Bellows Falls High School. Mr. Tischler felt that this year's Glee Club was one of the best in the past few years. He hoped to make a recording of the club's current numbers during the spring. Sam Hicks was President of the club this year and Dean Clark Vice-President. Peter Mitchell and Ron- ald Stewart served as managers, and Mr. T. K. Tischler directed. :9fJf1cf111,u.'I Managers Ron Stewart and Peter Mittltell. St.11tJ: Director I. K. Tischler.

OUTI G CLUB Oldest and largest student organization on campus, the Outing Club provides facilities for outdoor activi- ties and stimulates interest in hunting, fishing, camping, skiing, and similar pursuits. Besides running the Mountain Day program, decorating the chapel for the Candlelight Service, and managing the Winter Carni- val, the club exerted its usefulness in a variety of ways this year. The Trail Crew rebuilt the take-off of both the varsity and the 'IV jumps, strung wire for the ski hill telephone, cleared brush from ski areas, installed a new tow rope, stocked the brook with trout, and ran the Sugaring Off party among other ac- tivities. The camping program of the club included a number of over-night trips to the upper cabin near the campus as well as weekend trips to farther away places such as on the Long Trail and to the Dartmouth Outing Club cabin. The manifold affairs of the Outing Club are under the general supervision of Mr. Chivers and a council comprised of the officers-Bob Naramore, President, Don Mclnnes, Vice-President, Bruce Fenn, Secretary- Treasurer-the captain of the ski team, C. B. Vaughan, a ski representative, George Yeomansg and a rep- resentative of the Cabin and Trail Crew, Pete Myers.

CHEERLEADERS Under the enthusiastic and imaginative leadership of their captain, Chip Smith, the Cheerleaders sue- ceeded in whipping up school spirit to some new highs during the year. A notable innovation was the introduction of a V-shaped gauntlet through which the team ran onto the field at the beginning of the second lulf fit the home football games.
