ANOTHER OUTING CLUB GIFT
June 1916

Reverend J. E. Johnson '66 has further shown his generosity to the Outing Club by the gift of five hundred dollars to be used for repairs and improvements in the Ski Jump in the Vale of Tempe and the swimming pool at Moose Mountan Cabin.

The principal change on the ski jump grounds will consist in the extension of the area for spectators. The gulley of the brook which runs through the Vale will be partially filled in, and the kiosk will be moved back, almost doubling the present space available. The ski jump will be lengthened to permit longer jumps and several changes will be made in the run way. The low jump for beginners which was little used last winter will be entirely removed. A wooden trough will be built down the entire length of the toboggan slide, thus making it possible, by flooding and freezing, greatly to increase the speed of the slide.

The swimming pool at Moose Mountain will be greatly enlarged. The dam will be made stronger and higher, and when complete, the pool will be fully thirty feet in diameter and over six feet deep. The work of improvement will be conducted under the direction of Professor Griggs.
