QUESTION S, WH HOVED THE ROCK? Girl Reserves Find “Henging Rock” Still Waits Discovery Forty-five mlembers of the Girls' Reserves - of the Young Women's Christian assoclation started out on an exploring trip Saturday afternoon looking for “Hanging Rock.” ~ They were 1 charge of Miss Helen Bradley, The young women had been in- Jormed that the “Hanging Rock' was someWhere in the vicinity of Shuttle Meadow lake and they were all set to capture the rock in its retreat and bring it back for a doorstep for the Y. W. dormitory. For 10 and three quarter miles'they hiked. They crossed brooks, listened to the birds sing, watched the first signs of summer peep forth in various ‘ways, examined the unfolding buds of the early foliage, gathered pussy wil- low and hiked. Then they hiked scme more. After striking the lake they took a road to the left and walked on and on, finally deserting civilization entirely and plunging into the dense forest for exploration purposes. #The ofticlal report does not mention trail blazing with axes, but compasses are said to bave been used with good effect. It seems that someone tipped off Mother Nature that they were coming and she had a beautiful camping spot all fixed up for the hik- ers, right in the midst ot a group of pine trees. Misses Dorothy Billings and Mar- jorle Mullaire at once got busy and soon had a roaring fire of pine needles dry sticks, ete. A circle was made around- the fire and a dog roast fol- lowed. When the pangs ' of the “inner woman” had been appeased, it was realized suddenly that “hanging rock" was still hanging around somewhere walting to be discovered. So far as the party is concerned it is still hang- | ing and the front steps of the Y. W. remain wooden. i However, another interesting rock was found, bearing traces of prehis- | toric man, dating a8 far back as 1875, which date was found imprintéd upon an iron pin sticking from the rock. The young women returned early Sat- urday evening, satfsfied that “hanging rock'® still hangs where someone hung it and they plan again to go out some day and discover it. Under the escort' of Miss Bradley nine young women of the Girl Re- serves trolleyed to the Hartford Y. W. yesterday afternoon to hear Miss Mar- | garet Slattery deliver an address on “Whither Goest the Ameridan Girl?” Those in the party besides Miss Brad- ley included Francis Churchill, Dor- othy Billings, Grace Dixon, Nathalie Moulthrop, Myrtle . Keller, Wolfe, Myrtle Avery, Christina Pat- tison and Francis Kerbtr. The Y. W. C. A, schedule for the week is as follows: Monday—History class, 7:30 to 8:30, Dressmaking class, 7 to 9 p. m.
