Libby Ski Club
Enjoys Party

Despite the fact that it would
have been most pleasant to "sleep
IN" last Sunday morning, nine hardy
members of the Libby Ski Club
arose before dawn, donned enough
clothes to shield them from the
wintry blast, gathered their beloved
paraphernalia, hied themselves to
the Montana Cafe, crawled into the
straw-filled van of CT truck, and
started for the Ratekin cabin on
Leigh Creek for days outing.
AT the end of the fifteen miles
the truck could proceed no further
and the remaining three miles were
travelled on skis.
Upon arrival at the cabin, fire
builder president, Pete Ramlo, soon
had cheering fires going in both I
stoves and cook and chauffeur Carl !
ton Joughin mixed up a huge bowl (
OF hot cake batter, fried bacon and
eggs, made gallons of coffee and
fed the gang. The appetites of
everyone present were most hearty +
and the cook was cOmplimented
on his culinary art. Another item
OF enjoyment was a large bunch of
celery which crunchily disappeared.
In order to insure the roof against ]
cavlng in from the heavy fall of i
snow John Ronning and Elmer /
tjeseth shovelled it off. A short
trip up the Snowshoe road and '
skiing around the cabin was en- S
