W eek-End Party at
Wimberley
Last Far,, fay afternoon it mice
o’c'. l, an extremely lively and :!<*;.ry
looking party of seyen couples, under
the chaperonage of Messrs, and Mes-
dames Smith and Vernon, left San
Marcos for the Wimberley hills to en-
joy a real outing. There are some
who think the purpose of this par-
ticular trip to Wimberley was to en-
gage in a moving picture project, as
it happened that Miss Allyne Ray
with her great troop of necessary
cowpunchers, villians, and other
characters were engaged in that
pleasing task around Wimberley at
this particular time. However, the
writer feels safe in making the state-
ment that not one of the camping
party is unimaginative and prosaic
enough to enjoy taking part in mov-
n g pictures. Joe’s truck was well
loaded when the fourteen handsome,
healthy, beautiful, boarding-house-fed
damsels and swains had seated them-
selves, and the automobile certainly
looked similiar to a house moving
truck when one viewed the hay and
bedding attached to the sides of the
ti uck. There is one feature of an
outing which is indispensable—-car
trouble. After having our mechanics
—St roman and Mercer—adjust the
spark plugs and stop a compression
leak in the radiator and the roaring
noise in the ehxaust pipe, we were
safely on our way to the land of our
dreams. Just after passing the
Wren Ranch gate, we were favored
with a nice eighteen inch blowout, by
one of our rear tires. Nothing daunt-
ed, however, we changed casings and
\-embarked on our way rejoicing.
... a.iu.mg at Jb»iook's Water Hole,
a few nnies beyond Wimberley, we
found mat Messrs. Vernon and Smith
had out the trot line, and were'
doing some real fishing. Some of the
San Marcos-raised wafer ducks, how-
ever, could not refrafc.-y from a little
pre-supper swim, anu from six-thirty
to dusk, the placid waters of the
beautiful Blanco resounded and re-
echoed with the minted shouts and
laughter of those who were not afraid
co brave the unknown deep. After
supper, as a result of eating an ex-
cessive quantity of fruit salad, sand-
wiches and other delectable delicacies
which are usually found at a picnic,
none of the party were able to leave
camp for several minutes. However,
as the moon .rose out above the chilly
waters and the nightingales uttered
i lieir plaintive notes, the spirit of ro-
mance began to dominate the atmos-
phere around the camp-fire. It seems
however, that the spirit of chivalry
was dominant in the breasts of the
young men, as they gladly explained
to Misses Agnes Mae McGee, Fannie
Dickens, and Florence Calvin the
mysteries of snipe hunting, and still
i: ore gladly and cheerfully initiated
them into its secrets. While these
; ;irls were suffering under the handi-
cap of not having known these mys-
teries before, the remainder of the
party was enjoying the wonderful and
spectacular sight of the Aurora Bor-
ealis which created such a sensation
last Saturday night. Oscar Stroman
was unanimously elected to be our
fisherman for the night,, and he
proved fully capable, as several
times during the night he startled the
camp by uttering an Indian war-
whoop, which invariably followed the
capturing of a huge catfish. At one
t time, while he was tiding to awake
Ben Baines to go with. him on his
rounds, Ben was heard to mutter:
“Go to it, Gy, you’re hookin’ ’em all
now.” The writer wilt be compelled
to scan swiftly over the subsequent
hours, spent in camp, as this day was
Sunday. Suffice it to'%ay, that the
scenery and the fish^ caught! were
greatly enjoyed. Most of the day was
spent in pleasantly walking over and
viewing the cliffs, ci’t^i and valleys
of the most picturesque portion of the
Southwest.
The party arrived in,San Marcos
unortly after dark, and it was amid
great protests that the girls were
carried to their respective homes and
tr dden “goodnight.” Mr. McDonald is
creuited with saying that going to
bed Sunday night was like passing
Rom the sublime to the rediculous.
Those present were: Misses Agnes
Mae .McGee, Fannie Dickens, Amy
Tnaiman, Bettie Wilder, Florence
Calvin, Inez Jackson, and Edith Grif-
t-n, and Messrs.. Leslie McDonald.
Decar Stroman, Ben Baines, Robert
Robinson, Roger Robinson, Charles
Mercer, Ed. L. Evans, and Mr. and
Mrs. Vernon and Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
LOOKED POSSIBLE TO HIM
The judge looked over at the pri-
soner and said: “You are privileged
to challenge any member of the jury
now being impaneled.”
Hogen brightened. “Well, thin,” he
said, “yer Honor, Oi” foight the
sbmall mon wid wan eye, in the cor-
ner, there forninst ye.”
