ANNUAL PICNIC
5 A Bl AFFAIR
Agricultural Students, School of Ag-
riculture Officials and Guests En-
joy Big Feed.
The fondest hopes of the agricul-
tural students to surpass any general
celebration given this year were real-
ized in the annual picnic given Satur-
day afternoon on the beautiful
grounds of the Evans’ pasture just
north of the Country Club lake.
HBiverything to be desired and pos-
sible of inclusion in the most elab-
orate plans for such an event were
enjoyed by the agricultural students,
officials of the School of Agriculture
and their families and other invited
guests, and yet there was nothing
done that exceeded what could be en-
joyed, nothing to produce weariness,
just a simple program in a secluded
place, plenty of eats of the most sa-
vory nature, games and other activ-
ities between local contestants that
invoked personal interest of the most
enthusiastic brand, and when the eats
had been consumed and the games
ended there were no exhausting
speeches or other impositions on the
happy crowd but instead they were
soon drawn into a tight asembly
around a big bonfire by the delectable
music ‘of Sprague’s “Campus Cat”
stringed orchestra, part of the time
accompanying his singing of stock-
yard ditties and cowboy ballads.
Special mention, however, is due
to the very choice victuals that were
served on this occasion. The barbe- Club Medal.”

The decorative feature of the

of this selection is set forth by R. B.
Ogilyie in the following words:
“Language has never told a sweet-
er story than the one pertaining to
the Moabitish damsel, the filial Ruth,
as we see her with modest mien and
downeast eye gleaning the barley
stalks; and we are pleased to note
that this poor dutiful, early widow-
ed harvest girl, as she shyly sat be-
side the reapers and shared their
frugal fare, subsequently became the
wife of the princely Boaz, and later
the grandmother of that great He-
brew bard and King, whose songs to-
day make music in every Sanctuary,
and melody in every Christian heart.
I believe we have in Ruth the most
inspiring female figure in all his-
