ly be surpassed in the whole
state. The eminence, covered
with trees and grass, commands
a magnificent panoramic view
of the big Muddy" as il
sweeps down from the west anC
curves away to the east, beyond
which lies a stretch Of greer
fields and meadows extending t
a range of rolling hills in The
north. Central College car

ing such a spot of beauty to hel
campus.
At six o'clock many towns
people in cars had assembled
bringing lunches and they founC
a stove with steaming coffee al
ready prepared. Cool water was
furnished in abundance. Th'
college girls then marched out
dressed as for an outing, and il
/ the best of spirits. After frol
licking around on the picni
grounds and enjoying the won
derful spring evening, the!
gathered in a group and sang
few college songs and CAV
some rousing cheers. Then sup
per was announced. There wa
enough for all and a deliciou
luncheon even to the ice cream
was served. The crowd remain
ed until twilight and then dis

little picnic.

undoing the patient work of years OF
