Freshmen were especially fortu- nate in securing the “Pacific,” a fine, roomy, comfortable boat. They were generous hosts and the “eats” were everything to be desired in quantity and variety. Lunch was eaten on the sandy beach at Shel- ter Island. The afternoon was spent rowing, hiking, taking snaps and playing ball. The Pacific turned its prow toward home at 4 p.m., arriving about 9 o'clock with a thoroughly satisfied and happy crowd aboard. Special appreciation is owing to| Mrs. Fox, who kindly accompanied the party, also to Capt. Ben Geddes, of the Pacific, who did everything he could to make the trip an en- joyable one. -, D. F. D.
