JUNIOR CLASS EVENTS NE beautiful afternoon last x May we had our first class picnic. Jim procured for us the necessary hay wagon and and, to properly fit them for our purpose, we decorated them with green and gold bunting. After ar- ranging our cooking utensils and bas- kets of edibles in secure positions, we mounted our much decorated convey- ance and were ready to start-not, however, without repeated injunc- tions to Sam not to fall into the egg basket. We had not decided upon any par- ticular location for our outing 3 but after driving for several miles-most of the time rattling along at a break- neck speed-we began to look for a stopping place.. We soon found a spot that appeiled to us all-a green meadow made beautiful with its large oak trees a n d murmuring brook. Here we started our camp fire and spread our supper, and I should like to state right now that there are several girls in our class who as cooks could compete with any French chef. As we lingered at supper, the peace of the evening fell upon us all. The little birds sang their evening songs to us from the tree-tops, happily con- tributing to our enjoyment. horses 3 All too soon the shadows began to lengthen and we prepared to return to our homes. As we drove slowly along in the early spring twilight, we watched the stars come out and de- cided that this was the loveliest time of the day. Soon we reached town and attract- ed much attention as we sang our songs and gave our class yell to let everybody know that the J uniofs had had a good time. One of our happiest meetings was in November, when our president royally entertained us at a dinner party at The Edge. A most elabor- ate dinner was served and as favors, we were given tiny baskets of bon- bons. As we were bidding good-by to our host, we were informed that our good time was not yet over, for Mr. ShurtleH had planned to take us all to the Movies, and of course we were delighted with this ending for our pleasant evening. Our next exploit was a play, which we gave in the High School auditor- ium. It was entitled An Old Planta- tion Night , and our friends who saw Uncle Rastus, Aunt Marthy and the young folks perform pronounced our first play a decided success. Peggy.
