Lake Day Lake Day and Virginia Muddle! They invariably go together, just as Lake Day is the first outing of the college year. Every one in chapel Saturday morning, September 19, listened to Dr. Martin's announce' ment with eagerness. The new girls sat on the edge of their seats when he mentioned stuntfriding and Mud- dle. Old girls assumed an air of bored nonchalance, just to show that they were old girls. Attired in sports outfits of many hues and types-'riding habits, hiking costumes, what you will-the girls, some hiking, some riding, found their way to Lake Sycamore. Then came the water sports, with Mrs. J. E. Kelly and Miss Eloise Cranberry as judges. In the swimming contests, Margaret Swinston won the fifty-yard dashg Ruth Sapp, the breast strokeg and Harriet Evans, the bookworm race. In diving, Elizabeth Wilson was winner. jane Boggess and Lou Holland put on some stunt racing in canoes. jane won. After the water sports, every one got in line for Virginia Muddle C'A combination of all good things, Some one defined itj, sandwiches, and coffee. Dr. Martin, Dean Metts, and other members of the faculty helped Lecil and George serve the long line of hungry girls. When the very last block of ice cream had been consumed, every one repaired to the track to watch Jane Boggess and Margaret Rogers do stunt riding. As an outing, Lake Day has only one rival-the Rotary Picnic. The beautiful drive through the moun' tains to Natural Tunnel, the climb to Lovers' Leap rewarded by a magnificent view of mountains and valleys, and the exploring of the tunnel itself make the picnic one ofthe memorable events of the year. 120 r
