Smoker Number Three 



l>\ way of celebrating the end of 

 the first semester and the finish of 

 final examinations, -the club members 

 on the evening of February 14, gath- 

 ered in the new headquarters for the 

 third smoker of the year. The at- 

 tendance beat anything in the previous 

 history of the organization and the 

 affair was a decided success in every 

 way. Group three, which worked 

 under the direction of Bruner, is cer- 

 tainly to be congratulated for giving 

 such a royal entertainment. 



Professor C. T. Johnston, the new 

 head of the surveying department, 

 w r ho has evidenced great interest in 

 the foresters and who has done a 

 great deal for the forestry depart- 

 ment in the way of giving work in 

 surveying that has long been needed, 

 was the speaker of the evening, giv- 

 ing an illustrated lecture on The Yel- 

 lowstone Park. Professor Johnston 

 is an out-door man through and 

 through and he spoke of the moun- 

 tain country as "the place I love." 

 Being in perfect sympathy with the 

 foresters his talk struck just the right 



place, making those who have been 

 in the great national park feel almost 

 as though they were back there once 

 more, and bringing to those who have 

 not beheld the beauties of the Yel- 

 lowstone a longing to do so. 



The views which Professor John- 

 ston used to illustrate his talk were 

 well, beautiful, for no other word 

 will describe them. Tinted to show 

 as nearly as possible the wonderful 

 coloring of that region they seemed 

 almost "lifelike." The spouting geys- 

 ers, paint pots, baths, canons, falls, 

 hot springs, terraces, and in fact all 

 the great wonders from the Great 

 Teton to Old Faithful were shown 

 vividly, and described in such a man- 

 ner as to leave strong impressions of 

 that great park. The club is indebted 

 to Professor Johnston. 



The committee sprang a surprise 

 in the nature of the "chuck" which 

 followed the talk. "Hot dog" and 

 sauerkraut sandwiches, and coffee 

 made a hit, together with the "smokes." 

 Truly, the smokers have become 

 events to look forward to.
