NEWS OF THE SCHOOL. 



The Club's fourth smoker of the 

 year was held the evening of the 3rd 

 of April, and was marked by the larg- 

 est attendance of any of the series. 

 A departure from the usual affair was 

 made, in that no regular program 

 was followed. The affair was held in 

 the basement of the economics build- 

 ing, where is domiciled Reynold's re- 

 constructed mare. A good share of 

 the evening was spent in practicing 

 throwing the Diamond, the Squaw, 

 the Basket and other hitches, and 

 many of the fellows took lessons in 

 assembling packs, etc. Altogether it 

 was a most profitable evening. "Eats" 

 and smokes were not done away with, 

 however, and Chairman Wegner and 

 the other members of the group pro- 

 vided generously in this respect. 

 Prof. Merrick of the surveying de- 

 partment gave the boys some valuable 

 points and suggestions concerning 

 camp-life, and a general discussion of 



matters of this sort followed. 



The members of the Club have been 

 treated to some excellent talks since 

 the last issue of The Forester. "Mike" 

 Sweeney gave one of the best talks 

 of the year on the Medicine Bow 

 national forest, presenting an excel- 

 lent outline of the organization of 

 the Forest Service and describing in 

 detail some of the work that is be- 

 ing done on the Medicine Bow. Wood- 

 bridge Metcalf also gave a fine talk 

 on the Snoquamie and showed some 

 slides that were exceptionally good. 



The Club has begun work on the 

 compilation of a Forestry Field Al- 

 bum. A committee has been appoint- 

 ed to make a canvass of the fellows 

 with a view of ascertaining what pic- 

 tures of field work may be secured, 

 and collections of pictures showing 

 the work in various parts of the 

 country are to be placed in the album.
