Beautiful, bright & warm. Arose 7 A.M. Breakfast. Out on business. H.H. & I down [t]own. Bought brown trousers etc. Shower at Y. Dinner. To S.S. picnic at Rustic bridge. Fine time. Home. To bed 10 P.M.

Since there was a structure called Rustic Bridge in Central Park back in 1922, I'm guessing that's where the Sunday School gang went for their picnic, although looking at a picture of the bridge (below), they probably didn't picnic right on the spot.
