THE SUN DIAL OUR BOYS FACULTY GRADUATING CLASSES SENIOR HI PICNIC What could be more inviting for a day in the great out-of doors than a sunny April morn- ing when the trees are getting on their freshest spring attire, the flowers are peeping from the ground, and the birds are filling the world with their songs. It was just such a morning when Miss Crocheron sponsor for the Senior High School class, invited the seniors to be her guests on a picnic. A truck load of jolly girls, a young man driver, well filled lunch baskets, two jolly teachers and all was well with the world, and it little mattered that the place to which the truck was bound, was known only to Miss Crocheron and Mrs. Miller. The driver, not knowing the roads very well, added much ex- citement by getting lost several times. Once the road led to a broad stream that had no bridge, and in venturing to cross the water, the truck was stalled and there was nothing to do but gut out and push. The four oblig- ing girls were rewarded for their effort by the driver ' s leaving them standing in the stream. Miss Crocheron interceded for them, however, and the truck as stopped long enough for them to scramble in, the all roll- ed happily on their way again. Finally the party was invited to halt by the side of a clear mountain steam. This was indeed one of nature ' s fairest spots and an ideal place for a picnic. There were several canoes on the river and the first thing on the pro- gram was rowing and wading, carrying one back to childhood days as the clear, cool water trickled over bare feet. Soon a great splash was heard and when the seniors saw that Mrs. Miller had slipped and that she and the bottom of the stream were try- ing to occupy the same place at the same time, they realized what a task was theirs in getting her on her feet again. At last, with the combined strength of the class the feat was accom- plished with no serious accidents. The most important feature of any picnic is the eats and this occasion was no exception. Miss Crocheron had packed the bas- kets with good things that ap- peal to all hungry school girls. I The menu consisted of roasted hot dogs, all kinds of tempting sandwiches, coffee, pickles, cake and nuts. My, how appetizing that coffee and sizzling hot dogs did smell to that hungry crowd ! After partaking most heartily of the bountiful lunch and resting a while around the camp fire with story and son the order was given to pack up snd load up. However, other surprises were m store, for instead of turnin;, toward Montreat at the forking of the road, the truck was order- ed toward Black Mountain and on to Ridge Crest for an added joy ride. On the way back the hospitable hostess treated the crowd to ice cream cones. More joy! A happy, contented crowd of girls returned to Montreat Nor- mal that April evening full of gratitude to Miss Crocheron and Mrs. Miller for the joys of a Perfect Day. Dr. Anderson and Mr. Wood- ward attended the General As- sembly of the Southern Presby- terian Church which met at Lex- ington, Ky., May 21 to 29. entire family we extend our deepest sympathy in this great sorrow. Miss Belk: Murphy, why are you late to school so much? Murphy Starbuck : Because of the sign I pass on the way. Miss B.: What sign? Murphy: School Ahead! Go Slow! Mr. Woodward (making an an- nouncement in chapel) : Girls, you must stop running out and speaking to automobiles. 4.

THE SUN DIAL IT IS SPRING What do they tell us, the birds and the flowers, The wee tiny insects we see? What are they saying ' , the trees and the brooklet, The ant and the small busy bee? They are bringing- a message, listen and hear it! You cannot .help hearing it ring, O ' er mountain and valley, o ' er brook and o ' er meadow. They say, It is spring. It is spring. The brooklet has melted and now it is running A race to the deep blue sea. The birdies are singing their love songs together, A wedding- soon there will be. The flowers are blossoming, grasses are growing, Soft winds sweep over the earth ; Wee tiny bird calls, trickling - of water falls, Fill all the heart with mirth. Why did we say that the world is so radiant, Why is all happy and bright? Why does the heart sing one clear merry melody, From dawn till the falling of night? For the very same reason the flowers are blooming, And the birds are beginning to sing. Can you guess it ? I knew it. You couldn ' t have missed it. Because it is spring! It la spring ! E. H. Miss Croaheron: May, what quotation from Shakespeare do you like best? Mae Walker: The one that appeals to me most is, ' Hark ! I hear the footing of a man.
