Hold Picnic At Estacada
On Sunday, June 27, in the Esta-

was enjoyed by a party of sixty,
made up of O. A. C. graduates and
ex-students and their families.
This reunion was brought about
by the graduates of the class of
1902, with Miss Maude Sturgeon
acting as hostess who invited their
friends of earlier and later classes
to join them.
They came laden with lunch bas­
kets, and a keg of ice cream made
its appearance through the kindly
foresight of C. W. Laughlin, gradu­
ate of 1902, Astoria, manufacturer
of Frost Kist ice cream.
While all were seated at the long
table, Mr. A. J. Stimpson, graduate
of 1898, Portland, presided as toast­
master in his usual happy manner.
Among those responding was Prof.
F. L. Kent, f Portland, who was
head of the dairy department at 0.
A. C. while these graduates were
students. Next in order was a
rousing college yell then little John
Kilpack, Jr., five years old, was lift­
ed to a place on the table and
charmed all with several readings.
Those present were Mr. and Mrs.
