Ecology enthusiasts were offered the opportunity to obtain a better understanding of the plants and animals of this region in their natural environment. The aspect that highlighted the year's activities for many were the field trips 'taken to such areas as Pikes Peak, the Mesa, Ute Pass, Garden of the Gods, Cheyenne Canyon, and Palmer Park. When weather did not permit these trips, the group was visited by Dr. Beidleman, a local ecology expert. Elected as the 1963-1964 officers were Carolyn John- son, president, Carolyn Kellogg, secretary, Del Holmes, treasurer, and Jim Junker, I.C.C. representative. C. C.
