Senior Boys' XYILLIAM SNYDER ........... President A new feature was introduced into the so- cial life of the Senior Class this year. An Outing Club, with the elimination of all alienation between members of the class for its purpose, was advocated by Jack Binns and made an immediate success by the ready co- operation of all. Its effects upon civilization were good and it should be a precedent for similar proceedings in future years. Friday, September 30, we held a marsh- mallow-toast and corn-roast in a cozy littie spot encompassed by hills along the B tv O. Railroad. Our camp fire used up a little loose fence, otherwise we were considerate on strange premises. Butter-bread with corn. and watermelons fwhich mysteriously disap- peared into the darknessj for desert was the menu afforded. Luckily, our parched throats could be saturated with pure a fine spring a little distant. had been sufficiently mutilated we held coun- cil around our camp fire. elected and an entertainment committee com- posed of XYilliam Tyson, 'lohn XYenrick, -lack Rinns. was appointed. The club was formally christened the Boys' Outing Club. Then Adam's ale at After the eats Gflicers were everything there is that is laughable or ridicu- lous was contributed in story to the listeners We retired early the next morning. XYednesday, October 5, near Buck Hill. in a deep, secluded spot. covered with dense thicket and accessible only by a steep and nar- row path through the underbrush, was held the second gathering of the Errant Knights. Uur committee had selected this bit of wood- land, prepared a roaring fire and served up a good Dutch lunch of buns, wieners, and pretzels. They had neglected, however, the moisture which such a lunch necessarily im- plies and so were straightway condemned and punished accordingly. 'W e came home early. Heretofore our expeditions had been strictly stag affairs. 'October 20, we arranged a cider-feast in the woods at Corwin Schnei- Outing Club PAUL GAUCHAT .............

Uttering every High School yell known, about 100 girls and boys paraded through NVest Tuscarawas street in lines extending from curb to curb. YVe built our camp-fire and proceeded to toast marshmallows. The girls then served us a lunch which put all previous realizations in the background and we straightway resolved never again to go on a lark without them. Thebest kegs of rolled downto us cider ever and a tin beneath the faucet until there was no more. emptied were cup was ever After having our fill, we fed the remnants to a bunch of starving juniors and Sophs who were hanging around. Stump speeches were then demanded from the members of the fac- ulty and our approval of their efforts was voiced most tlatteringly. As the last of the glo-wing embers hid itself beneath the veil of grey, we started our weary march home, guided by the light of a big moon shining in a great clear sky. Thursday night, May ll, the last event ot the club's successful season was held in the form of a wagon party to the vicinity of Howenstine. Three large band-wagons, with inside, top, and step, filled to the full extent of their capacities, carried more vitality into that little town than it had been favored with for some time. The realization of this was im- pressed effectively on the inhabitants, who, at our noisy arrival at the late hour of eight, were seen to arise from their beds and, in evening apparel, crane their necks through the windows or come running out of doors to get some information regarding the strange phenomena. On the way down a storm blew up, but after giving us a little scare and very little rain, blew away, leaving a cloudless sky for the peaceful wanderings of a great full moon. Everybody enjoyed the trip immensely and pronounced it a fit close for the club's program of outings. I
