Cloud cover and a break in the prevailing heat wave provided just the right kind of weather for the 2,000-plus attendees of this year's Johns Hopkins Picnic. The annual event, held for the second year behind the offices of Johns Hopkins at Eastern, brought out everyone from staff babies to retirees from both the university and the hospital for an evening of outdoor fun and games.

Picnic-goers enjoyed food, a DJ and dancing, while the little ones had arts and crafts, volleyball and lots of room to run around and play. Deans, directors and officers from the university and hospital volunteered to do the grilling, while other faculty and staff manned posts at the beer garden, admission gates and children's activities to pull off this "labor of fun" without a hitch.
