THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN
The Eighth Grade's Picnic
By J. B. a pupil.
About half past eight o'clock last
Saturday morning the members of the
eighth grade class went out for a picnic.
The grounds were located about a half
a mile from the school.
On arriving there all seemed very much
pleased with the rendezvous The first
thing that the picnickers did was to van
quish all the snakes. In this fray the
girls did a great deal of screaming and
the boys a lot of laughing. The enemy
been routed and other obstacles cleaned
the proccess of getting dinner ready was
started. The peas were cooked to per
fection even if they did burn a little for
lack of water. The party that made the
salad certainly deserves a medal, for
every body pronounced the salad to be
excellent. After more or less mishaps
and no amount of joking the dinner was
finally announced ready to be served
each one cooking his own steak over the
hot coals. After having satisfied the in
nennan with steak, creamed peas,
potato salad, Irish spuds, lettuce, crisps,
raspberries, cream cake, pies, lemonade
and orange, the dish washersthough
hardly able to move, did their work
faithfully. Where an ample time had
be exhausted in resting the water
spraying contest took place, this was
highly enjoyed as the day was particu
larly hot. Immediately following the
hlackening foray took place. It is hard to
say who fought the hardest in t he battle
Josie Peone showed the signs of having
received the hunt of the attack, while
fiora Van Pelt looked deiermined not to
be worsted when the contest was
brought to a close.
The jolly picnickers arrived home just
in time for supper rather tired but happy
but not hungry enough to eat any more.
So ended a happy day spent in Mr.
Pugh's grove.
