The Dawn of a New Outing ClubOur inaugural misadventure |
| It all started in the fall of 2002 when a bunch of us outdoor types arrived at Clark University and discovered that it had everything we ever wanted in a college - except an Outing Club. |
We knew that Clark used to have one, and Clark's old "Pasticcio" yearbooks revealed that it was originally
formed in 1952. But sadly the club was no longer active.
So with lots of ambition and a little encouragement, we resurrected it! Becky Alper was duly appointed President (we used to call her our Dictator). She was joined on the Exective Board by Stephanie Sheridan (Vice President), Virginia Cooke, Judd Curtis, Mariah Hamilton, Troy Hill, Greg Ledovsky, and Theo Love. |
 Interest in the club grew by leaps and bounds. On October 5th we set sail on our first adventure -
a hike of Mt. Watatic in Ashburnham, MA. We got as far as Route 2 in Fitchburg when one of the cars broke down.

 After getting towed
we all ended up in Littleton at Steph's house. Some of us went hiking nearby at Oak Hill, and the rest of us
relaxed and played games at the park just down the road. Later Steph's family invited us all to stay for dinner.
So even though it didn't turn out quite like we planned, we all had a fun and memorable first outing!
