24 SALMAGUNDI i Ot. 5th, Mr. and Mrs. MGI1'llllBlls Un Monday C V Mr. and Mrs. llall and Misses Bates, Burke, WCM? Gould, Hall and Cheney went on a carriage drive L Haystack mountain. It Was an ideal fall day, but however some of the members in the party dld H05 b nteous , u intend to feast on Nature alone, 80 21 0 luncheon was provided. It was just before nmfn f tl mountain when the party halted at the foot o 16 and the question of when dinner should be served - U' t mem- was decided in favor of the huugries bers of that party, A 'spring was found at the d 't was base of a large rock, a lire started, an 1 not long before the coffee was boiling and the feast prepared. The appetites in that crowd were simply enormous, but of course it was largely due to the long drive in the open air and the exercise. It was a lesson learned by all that a hearty meal before climbing a mountain does not always produce the best results. Consequently the climb was by slow and painful progress and it was with joy to all when the top was reached. The clearness of the day ren- dered Mt. Katahdin visible and several other points of interest as well. After the summit had been well explored and all had rested, the descent was made, needless to say in much less time than the ascent. The return trip was by another road, supposed to be avery little longer than the other, but was found to be much longer, so that the drivers, who by the way, deserve special mention for the manner in which they handled their teams, were obliged to use more per- suasion. It was past six o'cloclr when the dormitory was reached and it was a tired, sunburned party that appeared in the dining room when the meal was half over. The trip was pronounced a success by all and all are ready to go again. - At the end of the- fall term tl1e Senior class had an Heati' consisting of -shrimp wiggle, saltines, peanut butter, salmon salad, ',sandWiches,' cocoa, olives, WhiPP9d'CI'6am pie, grapes, bananas and chocolates. Besides this, a Wonderful layer cake, frosted with green and white frosting, the class colors, contributed by Mrs. Merriman. Needless to say breakfast wasn't very much appreciatedthe next morning. T ,Tenmembers of the Senior class meet every Mon- day afternoon and sew upon fancy articles for a, Sale which occurs inthe near future. Refreshments of Russian tea and sandwiches are served. On the evening of Dec. 22, while Merriman ' -b - . . Zzzihlsy in the school building, the studentsand . s assembled in the parlor of his home. Mrs. Merriman sent him word he was wanted and g when
