After we had gone about five miles we branched- off of the main ro-ad to Plymouth ont-o a recently completed co-ncr-ete highway over which automobiles were n-ot yet permitted to pass. After about a mile of this type of marching, we stopped for a short rest.

THE PASQUANEY ANNUAL 39 week included twelve boys and Mr. Lillard and Mr. Church. This walk which covers three days is, for the benefit of those boy-s who just frail to 1n.ake the Long Walk. For the past eight years it has been very su-ccessful and is rapidly becoming a tradition at Pasquaney. The selecti-o-n of the boy to w-h-om the Thomas Hike Cup should be awarded i-s always a -problem. It is made on a basis of helpfulness, cheerfulness and endurance evi- denced o-n the walks. No mem-ber of the Long Walk was lacking in any of these qualities, yet 'there was one boy wh-o was unquestionably outstanding. Because of his gen- uine c-o-o-peration, his leadership an-d his cheer, Da-na Hard-wick was selected as the recipient of the award. Thu-s ends the story o-f the walks for the seaso-n of nineteen twenty- nine. The writer wishes to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Richard- son, Mr. Lillard, and the other members of the council for their co- -operation in the management of the walks. The spirit of team-work, so evident at Pasquaney, was -particu- larly 'noticeable and gratifying in this particular field. Thruston B. CM-orton.

The more ambitious mem- bers of the party rolled r-ocks off the tre-stle while the others sat around and talk-ed. i Ten m-inutes later we started again, passed through Rumney, and after branching off th-e mai-n road and cro-ssing the railroad track at Swainsboro, we finally reached Mr. Harry Turner's f-arm where we camped. After the 'tents had been pitched, a very enjoyable hour was spent in playing touch-fo-otball. As it was then 4:30 we discon'tinue-d this sport and took Ia cool swim in Bakers River which Howed right by our camp.
