Central California Hoo Hoo Outing at Calaveras Big Trees

The members of the Central California Hoo-Hoo Club, together with their wives, families and guests, spent Saturday and Sunday, May 2l and 22, at the Calaveras Big Trees.

Chas. G. Bird, Stockton, had charge of the party and arrang'ements were made lvith Mrs. Whiteside and her son Edgar, who operate the hotel at the grove, to take charge of the party. The members began arriving about noon on Saturday, and Saturday afternoon was spent in admiring the giant redu'oods.

Following dinner in the evening, a huge bonfire was made in front of the hotel around rvhich were spread benches and chairs, and a very pleasant hour lvas spent. Short talks were made by Fred W. Roth, San Francisco, state IIooHoo counselor, and Robert S. Grant, vicegerent snark of the San Francisco Bay District.

Vicegerent Snark Grant and his nine were on hand to stage the concatenation, but as many of the candidates could not make the trip to the grove, the regular concat was dispensed with until a later date. To take the place of the concat, the ladies were initiated into "lfow's Hoo" and after a ritual rvas prepared all gathered in the main lobby of the hotel, r,vhere the r,r'ork was put on. Many of the ladies objected to that part of the rvork, rvhere they were to agree to make no complaint or comment when the head of the house came home late at night, or not at all. Several other stunts were put on and the entire program was a big success. Those who assisted Bob Grant in putting on the degree work were: Charles G. Bird, L. J. Woodson, Joe Cuneo and W. H. Woods.
