Schurman poem in 1937 Mountineers Magazine

While researching Clark Schurman I discovered this post from Lowell Skoog on the Cascade Climbers web site. Former Rainier Head Climbing Ranger Clark Schurman, whom Rainier's Camp Schurman is named in honor of, was also an amateur painter, poet, and illustrator. The post by Lowell Skoog: I found this in the 1937 Mountaineer Annual and thought it was worth sharing. The poem is kinda cool and I really like the artwork. The top drawing reminds me of Randy Rackliff's woodcuts, but not so dark. Clark Schurman was chief guide at Mt Rainier from 1939-42. He was a long-time scoutmaster and built Monitor Rock (now called Schurman Rock) in Seattle around 1939. Dee Molenaar credits Schurman with changing his life by suggesting that he leave the farm, go to college, and guide on Rainier during the summers. Camp Schurman near Steamboat Prow was built in his memory. Other annuals in the late 1930s have more of Schurman's poetry and artwork. http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/416011/Re_First_Morning_In_Town
