Friday, May 19, has been chosen for the big annual Senior festivity, the picnic. Costumes will be placed on sale in Thayer Common Room next Wednesday and Thursday at $1.75 each. This price will include, not only the official Senior uniform, but the entire cost of the trip, such as transportation, lunch, band, and the light refreshments, which will be served both en route and at the picnic itself. The costume will consist of a miner's cap with 1916 on it, white overalls, bathing trunks, and the proverbial tin cup. A can of paint will also be provided...
...Senior class yesterday received from the 1919 officers the sum of $73.75, collected by voluntary contributions of the Freshmen. With the $149.70 which 1919 gave on the steps of Widener on April 12, this makes a total of $223.45 that the Freshmen have contributed toward the Senior picnic. The Senior class thanks 1919 for their generosity and good spirit, and hopes that 1922 will be as liberal three years from now. W. J. BINGHAM...

They have added a substantial sum to the amount of their contribution for that climax of undergraduate orgies, the Senior picnic. Fears that there would be a dearth of spirits and fellowship are dispelled. It behooves the Seniors now to drop the feud, and to allow the Freshman picture to be taken without molestation...
...does in regard to the scrimmage between the Seniors and the Freshmen on the Library steps yesterday when the Freshmen were prevented from having their group photograph taken because they did not respond with the desired generosity to the Seniors' appeal. So long as this contribution to the Seniors' picnic was taken as a sort of joke and was made the occasion for a little banter and levity, no one could object much, though some of us have though the custom an innovation in very questionable taste...
...only existing Freshman tradition. Freshmen, here, lead an unusually unmolested existence. They are not called upon to wear caps, or to refrain from sitting on any sacred fence. Even this modest assessment is only in the nature of a loan upon posterity; 1919 itself may some day have a picnic. When the Freshman picture is finally taken, the class can use the opportunity to prove that its oversight was not deliberate...
