Bisbee daily review., 1917-06-17

Five years ago last April the first
camp fire in Bisbee, the Aloha, was
organized, and all through the years
this group of girls has blazed the way
for the activities among other school
girls, for thus far no attempt has been
made to carry the work beyond school
years.
OF the class graduating this year
from high school six were Alohas, and
two of these were charter members.
In June, 1913, the first camp was
made in Ramsey Canyon, and the
crudity of that outing will be long re-
membered by all; the sleeping on the
ground, the cooking over an open fire,
the long ride from Hereford by team.
Yet so much real enjoyment and bene-
fit was gotten from that week in the
open. that every succeeding year not
only these girls, but others in increas-
ing numbers have gone, learning to
love the outdoors, and all that camp
life stands for.
Equipment Secured.
Last year through the generosity of
interested friends, tents and camp
equipment were given, that the outing
might be upon a larger scale, and
made more comfortable. The camp
was established among the beautiful
oaks of Garden Canyon, but after a
month it had to be given up, because
of border trouble. In August a second
camp was made, this time in Ramsey.
Canyon. During the 1916 season
Is girls were enabled to have an
outing. Several of those had spent
all their lives in Bisbee, and saw for
the first time green canyons, large
trees and running water.
This summer another move was
made, and Camp Deonagano was estab-
lishcd in Miller Canyon, where We
hope to make our permanent summer
home. Miss Marie Bartlett, of the
Bistee high school, is director of the
camp for this season. assisted by the
guardians of the different camp fires.

means. affords opportunity for wading

a detail of girls. the trips to Miller
Peak or to Carr Canyon prevent mono
tony in camp life. Letters from home
are watched for as anxiously as
though they were away months, in
| stead OF days. The first on the ground
this year were the Adamanas, with
their guardian, Mrs. Henry Poppen.
This group bore the burden of the
pioneering work, helping to erect the
tents. clear the ground, build the out
door fireplace, and put in place the
crane, with its swinging kettle.
The bedrooms" were cleared. and
the cots placed in groups, sheltered
from the kitchen and living quarters.
