The deft and successful manner in which Coanty Supt. Hudson planned ] for the picnic lunch , again shows her skill in management and her close friendly touch with the teachers who will quickly act on her kindly ] suggestions. Some of the rear guard of teams on the way to the picnic found three very lively ] people in the vicinity of the fort. They were glad to accept the invitation to ride and were soon in the midst of their friends who were waiting , for them. Last Friday afternoon four of the old time normalites , Myrtle Harris , Frances Harden , Lulu Gregory , escorted by Supt. Greg- ory , mounted horses and inspected the railroad works on both sides of the river. All points of inter-i est were visited and many feats of horsemanship performed.
