Tells of Early Logging

Donald H. Clark, Ph.D., long active in the early days of Hoo-Hoo and prominent in lumber circles and as a historian and writer of the Pacific Northwest, gave a fascinating lecture on old-time logging methods. With nearly 90 slides depicting historical scenes in the great forests of early days, he presenled intimate glimpses of methods used by pioneers in feling the gigantic firs aid cedars and hem"locks and spruces that once covered the slopes and valleys of this region. His talk was a revelation to the youngsters who know only high-speed mechanized equipment and good roads and little of the hardships and hazards faced by the intrepid lumbermen of by-gone days in getting out the trees the hard way with straining bulls and horses and virile cuss words, and taking them down to the primitive sawmills over skidroads greased with highsmelling dogfish oil !

It is likely that some of the oldtimers present shed a few quiet tears in the darkness of the faculty lounge as _they viewed these nostalgic scenes and heard Don bring them dramaticallv to life with his bril-liant dissertation. '

Baptized by a Cat !

At the conclusion of his remarks. Don flashed a scene on the screen showing a two-months' old baby hold- i1g -a !!g black cat while being bap- tized. He explained that the chitd is the only baby in history who has been christened in the Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo ! The baptism was per- formed at Spokane, Washington,- by the official chaplain of the order, Pailon Simpkin. The baby was Don's son, Donald R. Clark.

Vicegerent Snark John Allen, past president of the Seattle club, allnounced that Seattle Hoo-Hoo would hold its first 1959 Concat February 25. Members passed out handsomely printed invitational cards, simulating wedding invitations, which were to bE presented to prospective kittens with the names of sponsors written in. April 25 is scheduled for a dinner dance at the Fort Lawton Officers' Club, it was announced by President lVIarckworth.- Harry O. Mitchell, Secretary.
