THE QUIVER 17 We left the farm at 1:15 on our journey “back to civilization.” The party remained in practically the same three groups, except that the second group diminished and the third increased. The male portion of “Group II” seemed more interested in the surplus female portion of “Group III” than in any explanation about the little twigs by the roadside. Soon we came to a little country schoolhouse. The teacher was very good natured and invited the entire group into the schoolroom, built for about ten pupils. We listened to a recitation in reading by the second grade. Then, in honor of her visitors, the teacher allowed a fifteen minute recess, during which dignified Senior and bashful first grade pupil played “polo ball.” We had not gone much farther on the second “lap of our journey when a truck came screeching into view. We hailed the driver. Miss —, probably about to have her first “tour” of the backwoods of Primrose in a truck, climbed into the front, while “the pride of Woonsocket High crowded into the “tonneau” of our “car.” This, indeed, was the best part of the entire “hike.” Songs, cheers, and jokes about one another helped to enliven our ride. We finally arrived at Court Square, slightly tired, but very happy. We had left our surplus energy out in far-away Primrose and had taken in return a plentiful supply of oxygen. The remainder of the time alio, tel for the “hike” was spent at the Park theatre. JOHN MURPHY, T9.
