CAMP FIRE GIRLS ENJOY
OUTING AT GLENN SPRINGS

Miss Miriam Drane and Miss Char
| lie Maclin chaperoned a crowd of rs
Camp Fire girls on camping trip al
Glenn Springs last week. The crowd
went out through the country in cars
and arrived at the hotel about 2
o'clock Monday afternoon. DR.. Blaydes
was kind enough to give them the
privilege of using the skating and
dancing hall, which added very much
to their pleasure. The situation of the
Springs is such that many pleasant
hikes were taken to Randolph, Rich
ardson's Landing, Dixon, Munford and
other nearby places. On these hikes
the picturesque and beautiful scenery
made kOdaking a pleasure. One other
chief amusement was the lake, which
is less than quarter of mile back
of the Springs.
The Camp Fire girls of both the
Hatchie and Minnehaha camps say
that a more admirable and desirable
place for a real good time could not
be found than Glenn Springs. Most
of the girls were very sorry to break
up their camp Friday afternoon when
they saw that their "eats" were get
ting low.
Those present were the following:
Misses Mildred Cobb, Katherine Tip
ton, Maude Gill, Florence Bringle,
Elizabeth McClanahan, Julia May
Walker, Ursula and Katherine Ma
loney, Maude White, Ruth Rufin, Lois
and Eleanor Richmond, Nellie Wylie,
Mary and Helen Pennel, Mildred and
Edith Turner, Robbie Sue Smith,
Kitty Beth Ferguson, Flossie Cockrill,
Nina Maley, Maize Ports, Mabel
Grey Darby, Annie Gee, Edna Biddle,
Isabel Page, and Katherine Malone.
Another one who was present was
Miss Virginia Tucker, who is visiting
Miss Julia May Walker from Ripley.
The girls look on this as being one
of the best times in their school days
and are so well pleased with every
thing that they are looking forward
to their camping trip next year at
the same place, with the same chap
erons, and, if possible, at the same
time of year.
