The following members of the Camp
Fire Girls enjoyed a very pleasant out
ing last Saturday afternoon at the river:
Katherine Sievers, Norma Collins, Sadie
Mitchell, Clara Cooper, Zelma Mckee.
Elizabeth Nourse, Alice Osborne, Helen
Black stock, Reva Heiner, and Eva Car
penter. Some of the girls cooked the
dinner over the camp fire, while others
climed the Palisades, committed cere-
monial speeches and sang the Camp Fire
songs. This organization is called the
Camp Fire Girls because camp fire
suggests out-of-doorA and we want the
romantic out-Of-door element in it: be
cause fire has always been the center of
the home; because the camp represents
human solidarity and coming together
of the group. The Camp Fire Girls is
an organization which aims to bring the
power of organization and the charm of
romance again INTO the humble acts and
needs of daily life. 1t is a deliberate at
tempt to help meet the new and splen-
did social world which is before us.

and why may not the State Normal at
Gunnison lead in this expression.
