Approximately 125 officers from Communications School and 100 WAVE officers from Radcliffe enjoyed a picnic last Sunday afternoon in front of Briggs Hall. Music from recordings was audible throughout the grounds by means of a public address system, where three softball games with mixed teams were in progress, while at the other end of the grounds on a Badminton court, the Shuttlecock (bird) was taking a terrific beating from the rackets of both men and women. The tennis courts and the ping pong tables on the porch of Briggs Hall were used continuously.
Those who were call was not athletically inclined took full advantage of the good weathers and strolled around the grounds or played bridge.
At 1700 mess call was sounded and upper was served, cafeteria style. After upper a real old-fashioned song-fest in the parlor of Briggs House with new and old hits was featured. At 2045 the men stroke out with that real old-timer "Good fight Ladies" and proceeded to go home.
The picnic was arranged jointly by Ensign Gartner of the WAVE school at Radcliffe and Lt. (jg) C. J. O'Neill, Welfare and Recreation officer of the Naval Training School at Harvard.
