It was finally agreed upon that we would not go. But by the persua- sions of the fairer sex our kind teacher said, We will go. For a short time the corridors rang with laughter and noise. It was, What will you wear? When shall we start? These questions were finally satisfactorily answered and -we departed. The invigorating atmosphere put life into every one and it seemed all had gone for pleasure. p Even the tall chestnut trees waved their lofty branches at our coming. It did not take long until all had at least one chestnut, which served as a memento of the occasion. ' The ascent of the rugged mountains was perhaps tl1e most tedious thing we attempted. But we were amply repaid by the delightful view from the observatory. It was there that we beheld nature arrayed in its autumnal tints. The view ofthe landscape is beyond description. The large fields and meadows spread out before us, and in tl1e distance we could see large shocks of corn which called to mind the harvest time. Winding about the mountain was the distant train which made one think of man's great work in that direction. Father Time was not very lenient with us and before we were aware of it, we heard the shrill call of the whistle, a signal for departure. Indeed some of our number barely escaped being left behind. Our journey home was characterized by the same feeling which had prevailed all day. When we arrived in our rooms again, the general cry uprose, Was it not grand? Going into some rooms to-day you can see some gentle reminders of the occasion, and it always makes one feel as though he had at least spent one happy day while at C. V. S. N.- S. L53
