XIX1 THE PINE BURR 927' as IV March 20, 1927. N . Top O, The Morning To You, - Here it is again, but l just had to tell you about our Kid Day at school and the gorgeous picnic the Staff had at Caspiana. That reminds me of the poetry I have for you. It is entirely original fwith someonel MEmpZy sarciine tins remind us, As we reach a spot sublime, That the party that pre-dined us. Had a simply gorgeous timefl Betty, you should have seen the Seniors Monday. They usually are hope- less, but that wasn't even a beginning for them. Especially the assortment of dolls that they carried. Every kind you ever hoped to see. Ora had one nearly as large as she and that howled like two kids. Maryels and Elizabeth's and .lane's didn't make quite so much noise, but l know that Mrs. Cibbins could have murdered the whole bunch cheerfully. Orlando had on overalls and carried a little nigger baby and l-lazel's doll matched her dress. The boys all looked like HTie Me to Your Apron Strings Againw or worse. But about our picnic at Caspiana. When we eventually got there, we had a heck of a time leaving, it was nearly time to eat, but for once, we didnlt. At least not right then. There were some boats on the river that had the dumbest looking oars, just like they would fold up if you pulled too hard, but they didn't. Charlie Moore had his motor and he put it on one of the boats. 01 Boy, there is nothing like running out of gas nine miles from nowhere without a paddle and just floating and drifting along in the sun. We played Bridge awhile and then ate, but everyone had been eating so much before then that all we wanted to do was sleep and Miss Polly made us play Croquet instead. I guess she didn't want us to get fat. You ought to hear, not see, Speck play. He had Elizabeth and him- self through about a million games before we got started good. Unfortunately, everything didnlt go right all the time, but they did win the first game. The boys went swimming later on in the afternoon. l guess they enjoyed it, they looked like it, especially when they were trying to stay on the surf board. Harry French was the only one that was light enough to stay on any length of time, though. We still played Bridge and took some pictures and then made tracks for home, at least the tracks were part of the way, when we stopped for everybodyls hats. We surely did have a good time, too, and it showed Monday at school in every way from blistered arms and sunburned necks to a varied assortment of cakes found in the drive way. live got peeks of things to do so Tall be moving on.
