The first outing was held to New
/ Brunswick and It was accompanied by
several odd incidents. From the time
| the party alighted from the special
train and proceeded to make merry
I'm New Brunswick town until their re-
turn to Newark that evening the rain
came down in torrents, but undaunted
by this occurrence they made the OUT
ing a success and one that is remem-
bered with pleasant recollections by
all who participated In It. But this was
a cue for the organization to make
provision for protection for future
outings and thus for the outing on
the following year each member was
provided with an umbrella OF snowy
| type. This practice has been continued
, to the present time, but strange u re-
late the guards never again struck a
rainy day for their outings and all are
hoping that Old Sol Will once more
favor them with sunshine on Thurs
day. The umbrellas to be carried on
this outing will combine the colors OF
Delaware College-old gold and blue.
