In response to clever invitations from Miss Brewer, the heads of the Home Economics Department, the members of the H.E. Club, assembled in front of main building on Friday afternoon at quarter to five. Eagerly, expectantly, setting out down New Bern Avenue, we tramped to a grassy Creekside beyond the old Soldiers’ Home.
Here some of the girls with the assistance of Mr. Grogan had prepared a camp fire. After the crackling fire had died down, and only a bright bed of coals remained, bacon was cooked and bread was toasted for sandwiches. Then followed the enjoyment of delicious club juniors, lemonade, and cookies. When all these had been safely bestowed, a box of marshmallows yet remained to be toasted.
After yells for Miss Brewer, and the singing of college songs, we started home, each H.E. Club member voting Miss Brewer as good a picnicker as a teacher.
Besides the Home Economics Department, Miss Johnson, Mrs. Highsmith, Annie Highsmith, Miss Rhodes and Mrs. Brewer enjoyed the outing.
