A PICNIC EXPERIENCE.

One day we (the eighth grade)
went on a picnic to (Willie) Gibson
station. We were going to walk so we
started at 10 o'clock Monday morning
We were walking along and miss.
ing Rosa Steele. We went back to
/ find her. We had not gone back far
before we met her coming along with
hoe in her hand. She said she was
going to ((Evelyn) Dig some bait, so
she could fish when she got there. We
had all brought lunches with us.
When we were near to (Willie) Glib
son, we found q (Ruby) Little puppy.
AS it loked hungry and homeless we
took him along with us.
After while we reached Gibson and
put down our lunches. Some of us
started off to fish and others went in
swimming. Suddenly we saw Ralph
Benoint Frank Steele one of Mag
gle Coving's buns, but of course we
made him put it back. We then went
off to fish. Margie had never caught
a fish so she said she was going to
catch one. She put her hook in and
waited. Suddenly it went under and
she pulled out large terrapin. 1t
nearly scared her to death, but trying
to be brave she pulled him out on the
bank.
We were then called to dinner under
a lot of shady Miss Groves. AS we
were all tired we sat down in our
(George) Maurice chairs to cool off
Next we sat down to dinner and FL
lise Arenson saying (Grace Haywood)
grace for us we began to eat. Then
we saw Jessie McAulay eating green
grapes. We tried to (Charles) War
ner but she would not listen to us.
After dinner Ella Kelly climbed up
on fence (Robert) Rayle to hear a
little (Clinton) Robin sing. The
(Robert) Rayle broke with her and
she nearly broke her ankle. But
Ella was always lucky and she was
soon all right
Then we started home but to our
dismay we found that we were going
deeper into the (Rebecca Forest Gov
ington) Forest. 1t took us long time
to find our way out again. 1t was then
late and turning (Bob) Cole. We all
wished we had (Thelma) Furr coats
to put on. We were almost to Crank
Ellerbe when Julia Mcintosh tainted.
She said she saw spider (Johnnie)
webb on her dress and was afraid it
would bite her.
Finally we reached (Hiram) Eller-
be. We all had a Mary Nickle left
so we told Nettie Covington to go and
buy us ticket for home. She said
she was dirty so Maggie Covington
to go. Maggie said she
was (Rita) Blacker than Nettie but
she would go if (Grace Hay-) wood.
They went and soon had our tickets.
After waiting five minutes for the
train, we left for Home.sweet-Home
