The Senior Picnic. AT a High Senior class meeting held early in the term it was decided to have a Senior picnic during the spring vacation week. Wednesday of this week was set aside for the picnic, and as Haywards Can- yon received the majority vote, accordingly we went thither. Miss Edna Bell was appointed chairman of the Picnic Committee, and under her direction, with the hearty co-operation of the girls, the lunch, which was by far the most important thing, was made ready. The lunch prepared could not have been better if set before a royal court. The table consisted of heavy paper spread on the ground, while the tablecloth was that of nature ' s manufac- ture — beautiful ferns and poppies gathered by the frolicsome Seniors. A mound of fruit formed the center-piece, and, in- deed, the table, when decked with all the dainties, presented a tempting sight; but alas! its beauty, but not its excellence, was soon destroyed by everyone falling to. Great justice was done the feast and there was plenty and much to spare. After lunch, games of various sorts were played, while a few ambitious creatures explored the wonders of the canyon. Mr. Smith entertained us with a limeric reading, and added a great deal to the spirit of the occasion in other ways. Miss Percival was also with us, and we enjoyed her presence as much as usual. The latter half of the afternoon was taken up in dancing the barn dance in a small pavilion which was dis- covered. Nothing but the music of the woods accompanied the dancers, but it certainly was very enjoyable, if not so very graceful. The return ride, which brought us home in time for din- ner, ended our pleasant day, and we parted with the hope that our other Senior festivities would be equally enjoyable and successful.
