Mountaineers Reveal Feats in Celluloid Saga of Mt. St. Elias

Full motion picture records of the Mountaineering Club's famous ascent of Mt. St. Elias will be shown to the College tonight in the Winthrop House Junior Common Room at 7:30 o'clock, complete with a running commentary by William L. Putnam '45, Secretary of the Club's Advisory Council.

These photographs were taken by Maynard M. Miller '43 and William R. Latady, members of the seven-man expedition which scaled the peak, Alaska's second highest, last summer. Latady, a president of the HMC, left Cambridge recently on an Antarctic voyage with Commander Finn Ronney. His films, 2800 feet of them, are all 16mm color photos, covering all aspects of the climb.
