by the new officers, and one is justified
in saying that the secret work of the
camp will be done not only in an enter
tanning manner but most impressively
during this administration. Special
mention should be made of Consul
Myers, Advisor Taggart and Past Con-
sui Reynolds for the effective work
done by them. Nor would it be fair
not to mention in this roll of honor
Captain Billy Osborne, who is recruit

work for the new team, but it was per-
formed as by veterans.
