Board members are bringing extra meat, bread, and table service for the bachelors. Bachelors are asked to ·bring pickles, potato chips, marshmallows, or other picnic items. If a second-year organization can be said to have a tradition, one of the most pleasant of ours is, that no picnic is a success unless Dr. Alfred Harris, library, Alton, makes the coffee. He does turn out a perfect brew~ Rock Springs Park is the municipal park of Alton, and its facilities include rest rooms, play ground equipment, and approved drinking water.
