With the D. O. C.

SUMMER operations consisted largely of another attack on Old Man "deferred maintenance," with the chain of aging cabins to rejuvenate, blind spots along the extensive trail system to clarify, and shelters to spruce up for another year.

The Moosilauke Ravine Camp played host to more than a thousand mountain climbers from summer camps and alumni families. Major improvements handled by Roger Brown's summer crew of undergraduates included draining and surfacing the approach road and converting the Winter Cabin atop Moosilauke from a refuse shelter to a refuge hut, plus cleaning up the debris resulting from the Summit House fire in 1942.

In Hanover the ski jump was repainted for the first time since 1940 by three well-known local ski jumpers, Head Coach Walter Prager, Marshall Fitzgerald, and Granville Austin. Extensive changes were made on the trestle to eliminate the need for jumpers to cling to the starting rope when the hill is too fast for starts from the very top of the jump.

College and precinct crews cooperated to provide better drainage at the approach to the Outing Club House and to surface the loop drive with a much-needed coat of tar.

The Outing Club Study Committee, appointed by President Dickey and headed by Dick Lane '07, held several meetings during the summer to analyze the Outing Club organization and prepare its recommendations.

The two Outing Club cabins in the Grant were visited by many groups of fishermen, who reported varying luck on the Swift or Dead Diamond Rivers.
