OUTI- G CLUB The Outing Club is the oldest organization on the eampus. lts membership is virtually the entire student body as well as most of the laeulty' and their families. The elub stimulates and provides out- door activities by programs in hunting. fishing, and hiking. ll assists in such annual activities as the Candlelight Service and the Vllinter Carnival. It contributes in a general way to all facets of school life. This fall the Trail Crew. a division of the Outing Club, could be seen every day in the afternoon working on ski trails and maintaining the other outdoor facilities. They improved the downhill and cross-country trails. and the slalom slope. They repaired worn parts of the ski tow and installed a telephone line on the downhill trail for communication from top to bottom. They also stocked the brook with trout and repaired the fireplaee on Crystal Rock, the traditional site of the Mountain Day outing. Mountain Day this year saw the addition of a new goal for some of the pienickers-l'Jivoll's pas- ture-the trail to which was newly blazed to guide the hikers. The Outing Club launched its yearly program in the fall with an open house at the cabin. A Hsugaring-oflw party in the spring was very popular. Trips to Stratton Pond and Lake Dunmore highlighted the year. Sflllllltllgi liill Shields. Cabin and Trail representativeg Mark Ottey, Ski team eaptaing J. D. Reynolds, Ski reprc Qentative.

STUDE T COU CIL The Student Council began this year by responding to Mr. Tuttle's suggestion that sophomores and freshmen be represented on the Council. The amendment to the Constitution was voted upon and ap- proved at a student meeting. The Council now consists of five seniors, two juniors, one sophomore, and one freshman. ln the fall the Council sponsored the trip by the whole school to the Kimball Union football game. lt arranged the Kurn Hattin Christmas party and promoted the dance with the Mary A. Burnham School at Northampton.
