Our History In Our History, There Have Been Some

Our History

In our history, there have been some high peaks, also partie o, picnicR, and our play.

Wh e n y ou read

your Aftermath five, ten, twenty years from now, there must be something in it to remind you of these bright spots, therefore--------------this history. On June 2, 1925, the K-l Division gave a party to the K-2's.

Does that recall anything to your

~ i nd?

That was the time we had the limericks written by Gertrude Childs.

Reme~ber

the one for Irene Bagley,

"So her is another bobbed lassie, You certainly look very classie; I s'pose when we me e t you wi l l t hink it quite sweet, To toss up y our h e a d an d just-----pas s i e". And the one for Miss Weatherhead. Mr. Hubbard a n d Mr. Sallade

"I think you are some of the teachers

I almost mistook you for preac her,

Come here and get set,

And help us forget

That some day we, too, may be teac hers".

Th e year closed with a picnic at Lake on June 15th. ge~ ting

As for the love ocene between Inez and Peter, it brought down the house.

The suc c e s s of the p l a y was so we l l

known that the cast we r e requested to prese nt t h e play a8ain in the lar ge metropolis of We s t b or o .

This the

ca.st d Ld on Uay 10th, and the first success wa s dupli c ated. For a sec ond picnic the K-2 Division s howed intelliGence by choosine; Uay 1st wh i c h happ ened to be about the fir st day wa rm and bright enough for a pic n ic. The meeting place wa s the Spa ne ar Elm Park. we went out toward Holden.

From here

After nearly two niles of

hiking, we arrived at a place which wa s e s p e c i a l l y created for

~icnics ;

the r e we r e t r e e s , g r a ss , a po nd, wa t e r fal ls,

drinkine; water', fire places------------anyt hing yo ur he~rt

could wi s h .

Ev ery o ne wa s so hungry t hat we did

not wait to make fir es but a.t e the thing s which did not neceositate cooking.

After this, pictlrres were taken,

some Girls went for a walk, two went wading a n d sone rested.

After eating all we could, we played the part

of benevolent fairie s and g a v e the re st of the food to some of the boys who had been kind enough to g i v e one of our members a ride on his raft.

The hike ba c k did

not dampen the sp i t i t s of the K-2's, and all those wh o did not have previous engagements f i n i s h e d the day be going to the movies.
