600 DAN BEARD'S ANIMAL BOOK 



For this purpose all women without regard to age are 

 considered in the lad class; that is under 18; also, men 

 over 70 return to the lad class. 



Honors once won cannot be cancelled for subsequent 

 failure on the part of the winner. 



The applicant for Honors cannot hold Honor and 

 High Honor in the same department. For example, a 

 member with a low Honor for 500 miles canoe-travel 

 would surrender this on winning the High Honor for 

 1,000 miles. But, an applicant who has a low Honor for 

 climbing Pike's Peak would not surrender it when al- 

 lowed a High Honor for climbing Grand Teton, but 

 would but add the latter to his string, because each 

 mountain is a department of Honor by itself. 



The applicant must fill out and forward two copies of 

 each Honor Claim. These forms may be had of the 

 Secretary of the Club for 2 cents each, or 10 cents a 

 dozen. If " allowed," one is returned to the claimant, 

 and the other goes on file. 



The Board of Governors is the sole arbiter and uses 

 its judgment in the matter of witnesses. 



Successful claimants must forward registration fee of 

 50 cents for each Honor allowed, unless they are mem- 

 bers of the Club, in which case no fee is required. 



The badge is of gold, plain for Honor; with an enam- 

 elled center for High Honor, and costs $1.50. The 

 center is red, green, or white, according to the class. 



Red, standing for red blood or heroism, is symbol of 

 those outdoor exploits which call for courage, nerve, and 

 strength. 



Green, for achievements calling for skill rather than 

 courage. 



White, for outdoor scholarship, i. e., nature study.
