On last Tuesday, Miss Vadah McMurry, in honor of her guest Mr. H.L. Spessard, invited quite a number of the Columbus young people for a hike up White Oak Mountain. The day was ideal and the gay party started about 9 a.m. and hiked up to the top of the falls before noon, taking their time up the steeper trails, since there were several in the party who had never climbed a mountain. There enjoying the cooling breezes and delightful shades of the mountain, they rested and enjoyed looking out over the beautiful landscape through some field glasses furnished by Mrs. John T. Smith, after which they went to the old Log Cabin Inn spring, where they enjoyed a wonderful picnic lunch. Later hiking out to Sunset Rock, around by Skyuka Hotel and back home.
Those enjoying the pleasure were: Miss Vadah McMurry and guest Mr. H.L. Spessard of Hagerstown, Md., Misses Kathrine and Dorothy McChesney and guests Misses Mary Blakely and May Davis, Misses Eleanor Bird, Orletta Ladis, Ann Lynch and Annie Louis Mills, and Messrs.
