  • 5. Assume full control of party on hike. One leader shall precede and guide the party, the other shall bring up the rear. See that camp or lunch sites are cleaned up and that fires are extinguished before leaving. 6. At the beginning of the hike make an announcement to the party concerning the route, lunch site, etc. 7. Meet with the Board of Directors the month preceding your hike, for discussion. 8. Make a list of members and visitors on the hike and send it to Miss Dorothy Haasis, Secretary, P. 0. Box 454. 9. After conducting your hike this year, please report in writing to Miss Dorothy Haasis any suggestion for making it a better hike next year. THAT THOSE WHO RUN MAY LEARN To most of us, hiking is much more than merely "lifting 'em up and putting 'em down." There are contacts with our fellow hikers out where streams and ridges make social distinctions a mockery; communions with Nature of a more or less direct sort; striking, sometimes awesome, views and panoramas of earth and sky; and when we least expect it, those rare exaltations of spirit when we drift away from tired feet and rocky trails and—oh, well, either you know what we mean or else you don't. But there are other days and times when we must analyze and recall and name and tie this and that down to cause and effect. With this in mind the Club initiated last year the evening educational meetings. These were designed to accquaint us with the geology, topography, history and natural history of the mountains about us, and to some extent to point out some of the more recent changes in their political history. 57
