Invitations extend- ed to all that had taken Latin in J. C. H. S. this year. The in- terest in that grand old language was shown by the number that were present. Promptly at one o'clock ,the party started out. The walk was enlivened, by jokes and snatches of song which tisuaIIy characterize trips of this kind. Upon arriving at the lake, boats were found in waiting, among them, a gasoline launch. The time Was spent in boat-riding and fishing talthough nothing was caught but coldsy. Orle of the most inter- esting features of the afternoon was a Latin game. Everyone was given a small bag of beans. Then each was at 11berty to pronounce to another an English word which he must give in Latin or else forfeit a beam, The object was to see who could win the most beans. The Championship was hotly contested by Miss Soohia Peterson and Mr. Bishop Moorhead. Mr. Moor- head won by a small majority of beans. He received as a tro- phV, a silver stamp box. At five delock the crowd started home- wadrd with their Latin vocabularies wonderfully increased. .All that attended declare that a Latin picnic is certainly an enjoy- able affair and Wish that Washingtonis birthday would come oftener than once a year,
