GREENBRIER CLUB'S SECOND ANNUAL PICNIC --OUTSTANDING SUCCESS
The Greenbrier Amateur Movie Club's second annual picnic was held August 27th. at beautiful Camp ShawMi-Del-Eca on the Greenbrier River, and no event the club has sponsored to date has furnished more wholesome good-fellowship and genuine fun than this sporting event. The camp was loaned to the club for the day through the courtesy of Col. H. B. Moore, of the Greenbrier Military School, Lewisburg, W. Va. The caravan of automobiles assembled at the C. & O. Depot at 2 p. m. and reached camp at approximately 2:45, when the sports events began. Miss Catherine Dineen and Carl Ostlin distinguished themselves as the outstanding athletes of the day, winning the 50 yard dash for women, the 100 yard dash for men and the canoe race for men and women. Miss Dineen also won the ladies' sack race, while Dr. Sydney Goldberg won a similar race for men. There were prizes for each event and a "lucky number" prize consisting of ten tickets to the Plaza Theatre was won by Mrs. Cobb, of Alleghany. The coveted title of "Miss White Sulphur Springs,
1933" and the Movie Club's silver cup was won by Miss Elsie Nutty, who also captured first place in last years beauty contest. Martha Norelius, former Olympic swimming champion, who in private life is Mrs. Joe Whight, of Toronto, Canada, gave an exhibition of her famous swimming and diving acts. The most ludicrous event of the day was the baseball game, umpired by Bob Waller and played three innnings, women vs. men. In the women's line-up were: Misses Genevieve Wyatt, Eleanor Justice, Virgina Collins, Charlotte Erwin, Betty Dixon, Millie Zihlmann, Margaret Crickenberger, Mrs. John Frechem, Jr., and Mrs. Freddie Edmonds. The men's team was made up as follows: Messrs. Hall, Goodwillie, Edmonds, Bill Barron, Fred Barron, Dickman, Chassy, Carver, and Goldberg. The score is still a subject of discussion, although the weaker sex were given the benefit of the doubht.
Supper, a wiener roast around a huge camp fire and a concert by the Meyer Davis Orchestra completed a perfect day.
