After some songs the girls were es-
corted home by the boys.
Sunday, August 26.
After revaille and breakfast we
had assembly, at which Mr.. Hunts
berger made an address an1 outlined
some plans for the coming year. Aft
er assembly we prepared for visitors
and had inspection. The parents of
the boys arrived with papers and
baskets of "eats" and we're most
cordially welcomed. At noon some
maneuvers were executed, during
which one squad called on a nest
of hornets and found them unwilling
to receive visitors. as a result of
which most of the squad were ex-
cused to practice first aid. Exhibi-
tions of signaling we're next, after
which dinner was served. In the
afternoon the fellows entertained
their parents. Mr.. Huntsberger took
part of the troop on a hike up a
nearby mountain, from which they
signaled to camp. After supper we
took a hike with the Camp Boyd
girls and on returning sat on sand
fiat and sang. Mr.. Huntsberger was
compelled to leave, at which we all
mourned. We turned in about 10
o'clock after a very pleasant day.
Monday, August 27.
We all slept late and after break
fast cleaned up the camp. After
dinner five of the fellows went to
Duncannon for provisions. While in
that burg Diener and Davis proved
to be good socializers, while Leaman,
who seemed afraid of the girls,
stayed at the station to hold the train
if the other fellows were late. The
five just about ate all the ice cream
in the town. Mr.. TaXis came up in
the afternoon and took charge of the
camp again. Camp Boyd was again
our guests at campfire. which was
featured by stories, songs and games.
Tuesday, August 2S.
With breakfast over everything
was got in readiness for visitors, for
this was the official visitors day. Spe-
cial secret work was done after din
ner which was highly enjoyed by the
visitors. At supper it was noticed
that Hustler and "Cuspidorous'
were among the missing. Yes, Camp
Boyd is the answer. In the evening
several others journeyed. to Camp
Boyd, while four of the criminals
took the boats and went across the
river socializing Sure they had a
good time. They went back the next
night. so there is the proof. About
midnight a noise like a "Tomcat
choir" disturbed the headquarters
tent, which turned out to be the fell
lows returning from Camp Boyd.
Wednesday, August 20.
Late to bed, late to rise, was the
rule with some of the fellows. About
o'clock a storm came up, which
left four of the fellows marooned on
the other side of the river. Yep, the
four that were there the night be-
fore, who said they stayed inten-
tionally. The storm let up and they
came home in time to get into uni
form and go back across the river
where they enjoyed the evening in
spite of the storm.
Thursday, August 80.
That was the day we wished would
never come, for we broke camp about
o'clock in the afternoon. "A dele
cation of three went to Camp Boyd
Shoe, while the girls from across
the river visited what was camp.
Who said there were no pictures
taken? About 4 o'clock the truck ar
rived and was loaded, and about
and waved goodby to the Girls
they left behind them" The ride
home was enjoyed, while songs held
the sway most of the time. The
truck was unloaded at the church
and everybody went home leaving
behind them two weeks of the best
fun they ever had.
