PICNIC AREA NEAR POTTER LAKE—A picturesque area with outdoor dance floor and picnic facilities was provided by the class of '43.
Look for Proper Settings For Those Springtime Picnics
By JOAN LAMBERT
Springtime means picnic time, but what use is a paper sack of food and a blanket to sit on without the proper setting?
The Douglas county area is full of fine picnic spots from the primitive "hobo jungle" along the Kaw river bank to the mowed lawns and pruned trees of Potter lake.
For those lacking cars there is Clinton park just behind Pinckney grade school at Sixth and Mississippi streets. Here are tables, fire-places, wood, running water, and privacy.
On the campus there is our own Potter lake with tables and fireplaces and a cemented dance pavilion. For sheer beauty this place is tops. However, it is apt to be a bit crowded.
Those who like to explore and find something out of the ordinary can go to the end of Alabama street, and then keep going. A turn west and there is a small lake with an island in it. This Green lake and at one time was a small scale amusement park and zoo.
For lovers of nature in the raw there is the Kaw river bank, miles and miles of it. Good spots are the sand bars east of the Massachusetts street bridge on the north bank and the timber west of the bridge on the south bank. There are any number of interesting places here for picnics. Find your own.
It is possible to picnic in Central park, eighth and Tennessee streets, or South Park, 12th and Massachusetts streets, if there is nothing to cook. Here is playground equipment for children if you have some, and chiggers are not too abundant.
For the lucky ones with cars there is Lone Star lake complete with mosquito bites and fond memories. It is 17 miles south-west of Lawrence and can be reached by Highway 59 and a gravel road. The way is marked with signs, and there is someone in every crowd who knows the way.
This is a good place for picnics half-way between the primitive and the back yard variety. There are tables and fireplaces, nice scenery, and plenty of bottle caps underfoot.
There are plenty of picnic spots near the Hill. I didn't even begin to mention all the farmer's pastures that are available for agile persons who have mastered the art of climbing through the barbed wire fence and not alarming the prize bull.
Lake Tonganoxie is another picnic spot within a 20-mile radius, and there is always Swope park in Kansas City if you really want to make a day of it.
Edwin Richardson, engineering junior, was elected president of Tau Omega, national honorary aeronautical engineering fraternity, at a meeting Tuesday.
