The Mors Hill girls left Meredith at
5 o’clock Saturday afternoon. All of
them wore sport dresses. At the end
of the car line they were met by Gary
Digfters and A. B. Kinney. There fol
lowed a happy walk through the beaii-
liful campus of Stale to Pullen Park.
At the pavilion Iho Mars Hill boys
awaited the arrival of the girls, livery
one was uxcited. There was a happy
tliscuRsion of old frlendsand old times.
The girls gave two yells and sang
two songs. Tiien tho boys responded
with two snappy sons?. Each per.'^on
vr\H putting spirit Into the occasion.
The twenly-onc couples then left tho
pavilion for a long stroll through the
park in the twilight. Tho boys intro
duced the girls to the animals in the
park, including the “ftngry'’ buffalo.
All the thoughts of college and Its
dignities were distnlssed and (ho
'•kids” roile tho nicrry-gu-round,
.•\ftor this there was a delicious sup
per. JCvery one lined up for a plate.
For supiici' they served siindwiches,
salad, pickles, ice-cream, punch and
cakc. For once ail tho girls and boys
ion, had enough to cat.
Someone built a bonlire, and while
tlu^ lire was burning, forty-two happy
.Mars Mill students sang their “Alma
Maler.’’
Don’t thiuk that the Mars Mill Clubs
i>f Meredith or State have forgotten the
chaperones. They were wonderful.
They are recommended by both tho
girls and boys for any occasion. Tho
two clubs wish to thank Mrs. Smith.
Missea Blggers and Cooper. Half of
the fun that the girls had is due to the
chaperones, and the olhov half they
owe to the l)oys.
