No, it's not the pleasure of writing F's, as previously suspected, that drives men to this profession. It's not even the glory of knowing that there's always someone who must remain attentive while he runs through his political, and religious views or his grudge against the world. This a magnetic, magnificent attraction is approaching. On May 9, at Burts Park, our faculty and staff will convene. Furthermore, there will be no books, papers or test tubes. Our dignified administration will be robed in bathing suits, short, and sport clothes. This annual occasion is the Faculty Picnic. This year it is presented by the Stetson University Women's Club. Chairman of the Committee is Mrs. Louis Freund. Assisting her are: Mrs. Everett Johnson, Mrs. Frank Tubbs, Mrs. Macolm Wyth, Mrs. Ericson, Mrs. Dick Moreland, Mrs. Richard Ericson. Mrs. Dick More- land, Mrs. Sidney Denman, and Dean Etter Turner. During the afternoon, there will be games of softball and it is suspected that a few of the partv will take to the water.
