DURING RECESS 



TWO PICNICS. 



The two group pictures on these 

 pages were taken on the occasion ot 

 the New York Florists' Club and the 

 Greek-American Florists' outings, re- 

 spectively. Each of these events consti- 

 tutes an annual red letter day in the 

 summer memories of those who parti- 

 cipate, especially the ladies and chil- 

 dren for whose pleasure they are 

 primarily intended. Pretty good look- 

 ing bunch — both of them — are they 

 not? A close inspection will no doubt 

 convince our readers who have any 

 eye for structural beauty that the an-

Rocky Springs Park was the place 

 and could be reached by trolley for a 

 nickle, but from the number of autos 

 in evidence the average florist scorns 

 a trolley, and turns up his nose at any 

 thing so cheap as a nickle. The young-

LANCASTER COUNTY FLORISTS- 

 CLUB. 



The third Thursday of each month 

 we have the use of the Chamber of 

 Commerce rooms but in spite of the 

 fact that we pay rent we do not use 

 them for July and August and instead 

 have our picnic on the date of the July 

 meeting and through the courtesy of 

 our president a meeting and afternoon 

 of sports at his farm, one of the many 

 delightful places to spend a hot half 

 day and evening, around this section 

 of the world. It's a good scheme, try 

 it out, Philadelphia, and you will have 

 a big attendance to record for the sum- 

 mer. 



Although our membership is limited 

 In number we had at the July meeting 

 (or picnic) in round numbers about 

 200 people, among them being T. J. 

 Nolan representing the King Construc- 



sters were made happy by the distribu- 

 tion of tickets that entitled them to 

 any of the various amusements and 

 the way those kids got rid of tickets 

 was a revelation to the men who got 

 them and to the men who contributed 

 toward their purchase, the latter get- 

 ting the most enjoyment out of it. 



After lunch the fun began. Three 

 strong games were going all the time 

 on the Lancaster Quoit Club grounds 

 which were given to us for tlie day, 

 Mrs. A. M. Herr again showing her 

 skill at this amusement. The follow- 

 ing list of sports were pulled off un- 

 der the able direction of Frank Kohr, 

 Elmer Weaver and Harry Rohrer.
