Writes of Camp Trip

Mr.. G. c. Baker,
Louisa, KY.
Dear Mr.. Baker:--I am writing this
to inform you OF my recent trip to
Lexington as member OF the Junior
Agricultural Club Of Lawrence county.
We left on Monday, June ~, via. G.
& o. for Lexington. The trip was a
pleasant one and with the exception
Of the engine leaving the track near
Winchester was uneventful. No one
was hurt and the engine was quickly
rerailed and we were again speeding
on our Journey We arrived at Lex
ington about p. m. and went direct
to the girls dormitory at the Univer-
sity. We then put our luggage up and
went out on the campus to sunset ex-
ercises. We were little late on ac-
count OF the train.
We didn't get there in time for the
introduction Of the speaker but he
certainly did bring US good mes
sage.
After the message we went to the
| picture show, then to the dormitory.
| The next morning we got up at six
O'Clock, out on the campus at $3.50 a.

4 ture room where DR.. Holmes talked to
US abou, our health which was very
Interesting At 10:30 we marched back
to Dicken Hall where Miss Burnam

some points on how to tell them. This
was the most interesting thing yet

i 1t would take up too much space to
recite the program daily through the
week as it was given, SO will pass to
Friday with this remark, that they
were along the same line as have
given except by different people and
4 were all very interesting anu lHSpu :
ing among which were lectures on ma :
ture study, chemistry, the age we are
living in, radio, electricity, clothing,
hat making at home, foods and their
use and preparation and many other
interesting subjects.
Friday morning we started the reg
b ular program, and to us came hap
Ply surprise. Our county agent, Mr.
Baker, very quietly informed US that
we were 10 take trip down to Lexing-
ton and see the town and most inter-
esting things. We were very glad &c
take this trip. We visited the hotels
went up to twelfth story in the New
Lafayette, looked over probably the
, incest dining room in the state, ther
we went thru the new Herald Office
, which is four stories high and oui
guide explained all the workings of {
/, modern printing press which was yer!
Interesting and educational
, We then visited the leading theate
. and by the courtsey of the manage
we were then allowed to visit the higl
bank building went TO the 10th stor,
on the elevator and walked up anoth
er and out on the top where we got
lovely view of Lexington and the sur
rounding country. We then visite'
the cemetery and saw Henry Clay
: monument and the memorials of 9th
;. err great Kentuckians including tn
o breckenridge and other Governor
: and statesmen. We then returned t
the cafeteria at the Phoenix hotel an
had dinner, after which we returne
h to the dormitory and entered again in
to our regular work and play.
IS We had a nice entertainment Fri
v day night. among which was the in
), stalling of the new club officers. Sat
urday we said goodbye and starte
4; for home.
I. The trip certainly was a pleasar
