May 17th, Friday, was the day of our annual school picnic. We went to American Lake, leaving the Seminary at eleven in a special ear. The day was perfect and most of the day was spent in rowing and bathing. We returned to the Seminary about 8:30 p. m. Saturday, May 25th, the Seniors returned the Prom by giving the Juniors an automobile ride up the mountain road. Although rain showered or poured at intervals, a more delightful time could not be imagined. We left the Seminary at 1:30 p. m. Owing to muddy roads, we could not get through, so we turned and went to American Lake. An exciting event was the stopping of Miss Fitch’s car by the “ speed cop” for speeding. We went to the head of the lake, where we had dinner and very delicious everything tasted, for we had been motoring all afternoon. After dinner we started for home, arriving at the Seminary about nine.
