On Monday May Both, social
crowd from Loreauville and sur
roundings, united in a picnic at
Lake Dauterive. Those who par
ticipated were: Misses Theresa
and Allie Valet, Viola and Martha
Camos, Lily Brewer, Rose Girard,
Alice Stewart and Mrs. j. Hoff-
man and family Messrs. Gilbert
Borel, Louis Valet, J. l.. Boutte
and Porteus Comos. 1t was
great disappointment to everyone,
because when all had arrived at
the landing, news was received
that the only way to get fish would
be to 60 about three miles up the
the lake in a skiff. SO the boys
took some of the girls along and had
a very tough time rowing against
the current. The young ladies
were very active in preventing the
loss of any hats or umbrellas,
which the wind blew from the boat.
Misses Viola Camos and Lily
Brewer, seemed to be adapted to the
art, they always caught them be-
fore they had time to sink. In the
the rest of the crowd had
in gathering blackberries,
among which were Misses Alice
Valet and Rose Girard, who seemed
10 have had more pleasure in throw
ng water on the others while
riding or the lake in the afternoon,
because | think they laughed to
heir hearts content. Miss Theresa
has shown her skill at rowing and
steering skiff as she didso with per-
'ect ease. AT about six O'Clock the
oily crowd returned and are still
speaking of the good and happy
line spent that day, and all wish
o have the same blessing granted
o them in the near future.
Tuesday night Miss Viola Camos
vas pleasantly surprised by several
# her friends
Mr.. Louis Valet left this morn
ng for the Normal School to COM
'lete his course OF studies. He
eceived many greetings and good
wishes for his future enterprises
