Now that the warm weather has set
in our thoughts naturally turn towards
the river. The Old Dominion Boat
Club should be the medium through
which we should get the full enjoyment
of the wonderful opportunities the river
affords. The members Of the club are
hoping to make this season quite a
red letter" one in the clubs history.
Aside from the bright prospects Of g
successful rowing season the members
will devote great deal OF time to en-
tertaining their friends. If an active in
tere>t will only be taken Ivy the young
ladies', friends of the members, doubt
lessly the broad verandas OF the at
trac,ivc club house will be the scene Of
many social gatherings.
