As Winter Wanes

The Outing Club made the most of the last days of real winter by sponsoring two trips to the summit of Mt. Washington. Both trips were successful in their assault of the peak and all participants reported an excellent outing in the mountains. Headquarters was maintained at the Appalachain Mountain Club cabins in Pinkham Notch and reports of the party were sent to the College radio club through the air from the amateur station maintained at the huts by hutmaster, Joe Dodge. One message came to the radio shack in top of Wilder directly but the other was picked up in Manchester and relayed to Hanover by telephone.
