The Faculty, Juniors, and Seniors enjoyed a very pleasant outing at Kuppe’s Grove last Friday evening. The entertainment features of the program were autoing in Mr. Ed. Burke’s scorching “E M F”, frying wiener-wursts on forked sticks, private lessons in manipulation of an auto car, toasting marshmallows, crossing the Botna, telling stories, and visits to Avoca. Thanks “awfully” for the auto, Mr. Burke, for the services of team and wagon. We certainly enjoyed it all.
