FRESHMAN PICNIC The class of '36 decided to hold its annual picnic in Sdrawkcab Dnal. The cars were backed up the side of the hill to the riyer's brink, and hardly had they stopped when Naydean and Glenna were out, fishing poles in hand. Ray had taken a chemistry book along to read. Frances, with her pick and shovel, began breaking the ice to get a drink. Kathleen, Bonnie, Dick, Virgil Lay, and Paul Hobbs dutifully began arranging the supper. Oh, oh! They forgot the sand- wiches! Anna rqshed back after them at sixty per in her new Model T. 'AI tell you, it's a snake, yelled VV. L. James McCawley, Dale, and Dennis scrambled up the nearest trees. Here, give me a stick and let me at it, I never was afraid of snakes anyway, Virginia said calmly. No, nor me either, added Hazel. HNOW throw that snake away real far, or I won't come back, declared Vern, flatly. It's only a little garter snake, laughed Jean, as she wrapped it around her neck. After the snake was disposed of, all joined the happy circle and played ring around the rosyf' drop the handkerchief, and Simon says thumbs up. Oh, I want that big banana up there in that tree, pleaded Kathryn. I'll get it. No, I can't. I'm not tall enough, admitted Morris. See if you can't get it, Dayton. Needless to say, it was but child's play for Dayton. In fact, the whole picnic was child's play. There's nothing to do until Anna gets back. XVill you wave my hair, Mamie? asked Wayne. Sure, be glad to, she answered, as she went after her clippers. Oh, I do wish I could see what's in that cave, sighed Billy Hainline, But it's so little I can't get in it. Here, I'll see, said Louis. A momen-t later he backed out, disgusted. Nothing but a lot of money and some packages of cigarettes, he growled. Gee, but I'm hungry, said Clarence. VVhy, that's queer. You ate just a little oyer eight hours ago, answered jimmy jones, puzzled. There comes Anna now. Isn't it funny, I'm not the least bit hungry, additted Paul VVirt, as he added the last line to the poem he was composing. Oh, look! I caught a fish, exclaimed the excited Naydean, dancing up and down. VVhat'll I do with it? That's nothing but a barracuda. Bet it doesn't weigh over twenty-five pounds. Throw it back, ordered VVilbur, as he paused in the pursuit of a beautiful butterfly. After supper the freshman quartet, consisting of Ansil, first soprano, Virgil VX'eddle, second soprano, Harry, contralto, and Ernest, second Violin, rendered a few selections from Handel and Bach-after which all went straight home. That accounts for all but Doris. She didn't go, because she was unwilling to drive without a license. Mr. Vllebb stayed home, too, because he didn't want to interfere with their pleasure. And they all had their lessons the next day. V. P.-'34 -51-
