The girls over At IA0 AhhcVleW
training camp are only girls after
ali and like some certain things bet
ter than other things. One OF the
things that they're most fond Of is
Fat boys, lean boys, tall boys,
short boys-they like 'em all. Two
things the girls are very particular
about: the boys must be Plymouth,
m. boys and they must be band
boys.
Last evening the said camp girls
were too happy for words. They at
tended the lumbermen's picnic at
Wild Cat springs and there saw and
conquered the boys Of the Plymouth
hand, They did it all in a ladylike
way and under the watchful eyes of
their camp leader chaperOnes. In
fact, it was all very dignified pro-
ceeding.
When the picnic was over, the
girls hurried back to their camp and
prepared themselves to receive the
band men in state when they should
arrive later.

going over to the club house, and
long before 6 o'clock, the porches of
the place were filled with the men
guests who looked fine and handsome
in their new uniforms. Once in a
while, when some of them thought
that none of the girls were looking
they peeked into the club house liv-
ing room to admire themselves in a
mirror.
At six, bell rang announcing din
ner and the band boys showed their
appreciation of culinary excellency
BY consuming large quantities of
food. If the camp mattresses who
served these guests appeared to have
brighter eyes and pinker cheeks than
usual, It was because they had en-
joyed themselves SO much at the pic
nic-nothing more.
During the dinner, the girls sang
their camp songs and gave their
yells, some Of them to their leaders
and some to the Plymouth band.
When the meal was over, Russell
Biekford, a member of the musical
organization, acted as toastmaster.
The responses to the toasts took
the form of a progressive speech, for
one person called upon to talk would
say as few words as possible and
then toss the conversational ball to
his neighbor, who would be COM
PEELED to say his bit, too.
The personnel of the progressive
speech was Miss Margaret Wray,
Miss Katherine Kermeen, Mrs. Edna
Robbins, William Aleshire, Henry
Ewing, f. L. Donkle and Frank Hen
derson. the men all being residents
of Plymouth.
Later in the evening the band gave
a concert for their young hostesses.
Their playing at this time was the
best that they had done all day. The
Plymouth band gets better all the
time. The band has been organized
Tor fifteen months and has thirty-two
members in it, all of them lovers of
music and each man trying to per-
lect his playing on his particular in
strument,
When taps sounded at the camp,
me band boys took their departure,
accompanied by Mr.. and Mrs F. L.
Donkle and Miss Orma Shaeffer who
were also guests of the girls Friday
evening and live at Plymouth The
e U1 evening was a huge success
mere are some people in Illinois
VINO VINO are still wondering whom the
riymouth band really came TO Hamil-
Ion to be with-the lumbermen at
