Normal Picnic.

1t occurred to one of the girls
boarding in the south extension to
have a normal picnic.
She got the consent of the other
girls and they accordingly propos-
ed the plan TO the boys, and the
boys were glad to furnish the
teams on Saturday.
Three wagons were secured,
one mule team. which opened
the days excitement by running
off. 1t was halted at the bridge
west of town. Luckily there were
none of the girls on the wagon at
the time or the town would have
been reused by the heart rending
screams, particularly if the Clear
Ridge girls had been on that wag-
on.
Without any other accidents, a
merry straw ride conveyed the
party of about sixty to the top of
Cove mountain, at Linton Rock.
A merry afternoon was spent in
playing games and admiring the
beautiful scenery of Fulton. A
hazy atmosphere prevented from
seeing into Maryland and Virgin
ia. Towards evening the boys
mysteriously became separated
from the girls, but soon their at
tention was aroused by the beat
ing on tin pan. Not knowing
whether it was calithumpian
band or an auto down on the pike
summoning help, they went to in
vestigate and found fine supper
prepared by the girls at which the
boys were not long in finding
seats.
The occasion was enllvened by
Supt. Lamberson and Prof. Thom-
as driving to the grounds and Join
ing in the fun. A neat little
speech by Prof. Thomas was APP
preciated by all,
As the shadows were beginning
to lengthen they all got on theirre-
spectiye wagons except one of the
Ayr township students who refus-
ed toride behind the mules, having
had thrilling experience with a
mule three years ago.
The Normal yell from sixty
throats aroused the town when
the picnickers we're coming homes
One, two, three
Who are we!
Normal Students,
Yes, sir, Re-
We're rough,
We're tough,
And that's no bluff;
But the Normal Students are
