Junior Class Picnic. Among the special activities held for the upperclassmen is the junior picnic. This takes place during the spring semester, usually in May. On the day of the picnic, members of the class come to school at the usual time but arc dismissed at 12:45 to prepare for the departure of the buses at 1:00. At that time tne buses pull away from the school, heading for a nearby park. This happy experience comes to an end at about 5:30 with the bus ride back to school. Although a drenching downpour brought it to a close, our picnic, held at the South Mountain Reservation, was an overwhelming success. Junior French Club.
