  • June 11 (7:30 p. m.) SHARP'S RIDGE My! Oh, my! Sharp's Ridge, in the moonlight, and in June! Now, just what can be said about such a combination of place, time and conditions? Well, anyway, this is our mid-summer get-together. There is no program, other than it is planned that we shall leave the Saunders System at 7:30 and drive, or ride the Fountain City car, out to Arlington, and go up to the ridge where we will have a short trek in the moonlight (if any) and sit around a while and tell ghost stories, get better acquainted with each other and talk things over in general. Marshmallows might be enjoyable, and how about some good, cold lemonade? At any rate, don't forget the canteen, whether it contain water, lemonade, orange juice or buttermilk. Chaperons: Beatrice Mathers (Phone 3—6187) and Andy G. Lowe (Phone 3—7237). June 21-22 CUMBERLAND FALLS Here is new territory to explore, and if you have never been in the Cumberlands you have missed some of the most heautiful scenery in this section of the country. Here you will see the Cumberland river drop over eighty feet into a foaming, rushing stream below, much of the water turning into fine spray and floating off down the valley, giving beautiful rainbows. This is the largest flow of water east of the Rockies to drop such a distance in its natural state other than the Niagara Falls. We leave Saunders System at one o'clock on June 21st. going to Williamsburg, Kentucky, for supper. To get there we go over a wonderful new highway following a river which is far down in the ravine with a view of the railroad as it passes through the many cuts and tunnels. The distance is almost eighty miles and there a most wonderful feed will be waiting, well worth anyone's seven- 37
