"Chuck" Boyce, of making camp in 

 a hurry, and of breaking camp in a 

 like manner; packing for a canoe 

 trip; the use of the tunk line; 

 method of carrying a canoe and a 

 few pointers on handling a canoe in 

 the water. 



Following this demonstration came 

 a canoe race, in which Schaefer and 

 Boyce were the winners, with Met- 

 calf and Bravo second. Next came 

 the canoe tilting contest, which pro- 

 vided much amusement for the spec- 

 tators and cold baths for some of the 

 participants. In the elimination ev- 

 ents Stout and Black defeated Coul- 

 son and Sampson, and Steer and Vos- 

 bury succeeded in spilling Metcalf 

 and Bravo. Steer and Vosbury also 

 put the work on Stout and Black in 

 the finals. 



A swimming race across the lake 

 was the next event, which was won 

 by Wegner, 'with Wood a close sec- 

 ond. 



Sitler won the pistol match and 

 Knoch the rifle match. 



Thus ended the regular scheduled 

 events of a most successful FieM 

 I>ay. 



It was not the end of the camp, 

 however. Many fellows remained to 

 get further instruction in camp cook- 

 ing, etc., and the evening meal was a 

 "hummer." Just to break the mo- 

 notony we had more rain that eve- 

 ning, but it didn't interfere to any 

 appreciable extent with the good 

 time around the camp-fire. 



The next day 'was Sunday and it 

 rained some more. The ranks began 

 to be depleted somewhat Sunday 

 morning, but a dozen or so still 

 "stuck around" and made a good 

 time of it. Muzzall concocted a great 

 stew for dinner, Baker made some 

 fancy biscuits and Steer did himself 

 proud with some fancy dishes that 

 were almost too good for camp fare. 

 We promised not to tell on him, 

 however. 



Monday lessons began to call soon 

 after this meal, and by nightfall 

 there were left at the camp only the 

 three who were to look after packing 

 up, etc., in the morning. So now we 

 simply await the next annual Field 

 Day, with hope that it will prove 

 even more successful than this, the 

 best yet! 



The Hill Smoker 



The club's 'fifth, last and best 

 smoker of the year was held at the 

 Union on the evening of April 23rd. 

 Very properly it was called the "Hill 

 Smoker," inasmuch as Professor Hill 

 was the guest of honor. In view of 

 the fact that Professor Hill is leav- 

 ing Michigan this June to go into 

 private work, the members of his 

 classes took the occasion to present 

 him with a pair of field glasses, in 

 token of the esteem and regard in 

 which they hold him. Every speak- 

 er paid a tribute to the man who has 

 helped to place the name of Michi- 

 gan well to the fore in the forestry 

 profession. 



Professor Roth acted as toastmas- 

 ter. He first introduced Pottinger, 

 who, he said, would have some re- 

 marks to make on "When We Were 

 Kids." Pottinger said he had spent 

 an afternoon recently in Chelsea, 

 where he and Professor Hill were 



"kids," endeavoring to dig up some 

 good stories on Hill for the occasion, 

 but that he had practically failed, 

 for the simple reason that the latter 

 had never been known to get into 

 much trouble that was of any ac- 

 count. He did make implication, 

 however, that Professor Hill's absent- 

 mindedness began early, in telling of 

 an occasion upon which the latter 

 had gone upstairs in the evening to 

 change his clothes for some grand 

 function, undressed and then went 

 to bed. 



Prof. Roth introduced himself ag 

 the next speaker, taking as his sub- 

 ject "The Student." He recalled the 

 days when he came here to organize 

 the forestry school, and of one day in 

 particular when there walked into 

 his office a young man with a 'busi- 

 nesslike air, who "tackled me as 

 though he wanted to sell me an en- 

 cyclopedia, and wanted cash, but who
