The May Day picnic Tuesday at the
club house was a decided success. The
table literally groaned with the most
delicious viands imaginable. After the
dinner hour Miss Rogers assisted by
few of her pupils gave fine pro-
gram of some of the little graces and
arts she had been teaching in her pri-
vate school the past winter and spring
and among the most amusing and en-
tertaining was the story telling by
little Eleanor Lee. The tests of ex-
preston by all the pupils led by Eliz-
abeth Knoblock. which was so well
portrayed that each expression was
readily guessed by the audience. Lit
tie Mary B. Knoblock received pro-
longed applause for her songs and rec
itations. The last on the program was
the Maypole drill which is always
a beautiful feature and graceful. The
parents highly appreciate the oppor-
tunity of such an efficient teacher as
Miss Rogers for their children.
