Title

PCS 88.1

Description

"The student body assembled at the college building on Church Avenue and with well-filled baskets marched to the Norfolk & Western where they boarded a special train chartered for the occasion by Professor Coulter. The management of the Norfolk & Western furnished the school an all-steel train, the first of its kind operated by the company composed of its own equipment - a fact that was highly appreciated by the college and its students. An exciting game of baseball was played between teams from Commercial and Shorthand departments, and those not thus engaged enjoyed themselves at other games and sports, and everybody entered heartily into the picnic spirit."
