The first outing of this illustrious organi- zation occurred early in june and was de- cided on rather unexpectedly after a some- what hasty meeting. A trip to the lake and a day in the coolness of its shadowdy breezes served as a very agreeable relief from the' monotony of a stuffy schoolhouse in a small-pox stricken city, and it is doubt- ful if any member of the party ever spent a more enjoyable day. Between Duck-on- the-rock, and fistic combats for the edin- cation of the rural denizens everybody was kept thoroughly enjoyed and amused, and there was excitement enough for the most blood-thirsty. They ate peanuts and drank pop till they were tired and if they had succeeded in raising sufficient price to hire a boat, their cold still forms might now be reposing in the bosom of billowy Owasco, and THE SIL- HOUETTE might now be looking for another Editor. However no such good luck occur- red to add zest and joy to the occasion, and from the time the irst roll of handbills was discovered until Vic in a wild outburst of generosity donated his last nickle for the purchase of a fresh invoice of peanuts, nothing of a painful nature took place to mar the pleasure of the renowned club. The location of the place chosen for the picnic was faultless, and if it hadn't been for the dampness of the soil which came near dragging a promising candidate for the Boston Conservatory of Music beneath its gooey surface, the next reunion would probably be held upon that renowned battle field. For the benefit of those who were members of the party and participated in its orgies we would say that word has just reached this oflice that a prominent farmer of the town of Owasco is looking for the miscreants who carried away his rail fence, and made his Stonewall look like Genesee Street after the asphalt people had got in their lirst licks-

I5 THE CLINTON TRIP. i tv SATURDAY, May 17, our ' I track team journeyed to Clin- ' ton to participate in the inter- 7 scholastic meet at that place ' Wg., under the auspices of Hamil- Iff? ton College. A delegation of ! students accompanied the ff' team and it was by far the largest crowd that has ever gone so far away from home with any of our teams There were in . all about thirty High School students in the party and the trip was heartily enjoyed by all. We arrived at Clinton at about I 2 o'clock, and were driven at once to the college grounds where the several members of the party were assigned to the various fraternity houses for safe keeping. Those who were so fortunate as to be situated near the chapel were able to hear the prize speaking contest in which several High Schools of the state were represented. The field meet began at two, and although we inet with hard luck in several of the events we were still able to make a credit- able showing and secured a total of 3 5 points, only three behind Utica High School, and thus securing second place. A detailed account of this meet will be found elsewhere. . . The members of the team were not allow- ed to remain away from home over night, since our Faculty had seen fit to put this restriction on them, but several of the other students stayed at the College till the follow- ing day and were thus afforded an oppor- tunity of looking the place over in a more thorough manner. On Sunday we listened to an interesting sermon by President Stryk- er in the college chapel. We visited the various fraternity houses and college build- ings and it is very evident that every member of the party was very favorably im- pressed with all that he saw. .It was the very best time of the year possible for such a visit 5 the campus was in a beautiful con- dition and the scenery in that vicinity is the 'finest in the country. Perhaps one of the most interesting things about the institution is its gymnasium and athletic field. The field and track were in fine shape and the records made by our men at the meet speak highly of what is possible on a good track. We were very hospitably entertained during our stay and were particularly im- pressed by the general air of comrade and good-fellowship which seemed to permeate the atmosphere, and there is little doubt that for a person' seeking a university edu- cation this factor should be taken into con- sideration. At every turn one meets with evidences of the best of feeling between faculty and students, and-of the hearty co- operation of the one for the other. This is a very significant fact, when the students love and respect the Faculty and the Faculty enter into the lives of their students with a hearty and brotherly spirit, the entire object of a college course has been accomplished 3 nothing but the best of results can follow. While this article is not intended as a puff for Hamilton College, it gives some idea of the deep and lasting impression made upon every High School student who was present at the meet. To those who contemplate a college course, the prospect onfered by such a venture Was perhaps never so clearly brought to their notice as by this one trip. There are other colleges like Hamilton, and we cannot urge too strong- ly of everyone who can possibly do so, seek a c olle g e education. It will be a good-investment. 03 Henry A. Hompe expects to spend the summer in recuperating from the cares of school life and may be found among cheese boxes and molasses jugs at Meak- er's.
