Picnics Mark Autumn Social Scene Bibliophiles Take Holiday The annual fall picnic of the Librarians Club was an event of September 19 at the home of Linda Gary. The juniors pro- vided the food for the affair and according to the seniors were quite stingy- but we feel think this is an improbable exaggeration on the part of the seniors. These seemingly re- served young ladies were found as the evening progressed to be full of vigor — as much vigor and vitality as the most active athletes. The evening ended with a short business meeting at which Judy Wolf’s house guest, Inger-Lise Lorenskogen, presented a talk about her na- tive land, Norw'ay. Girl Athletes On September 12, GAA held its annual picnic at the home of Judy Mizer. Before the girls devoured their meal as if food were going out of style, the seniors challeng- ed the j u n i o r s to a rollicking game of football-the ball being a hot dog bun! This proved to be an exciting experience until the sen- iors ate the ball quickly ending the game.
