CAMP ARNAKI NOW OPEN

Camp Abnaki has opened its 10th
season with a large group Of boys
there being well over a hundred in
camp and many arriving every day.
The advance party went TO camp on
June Sth to open up the buildings, get
things unpacked, tents up and every
thing ready for the coming Of the
first group Of boys on the 2lst. The
new double deck beds were set up for
the first time and they are proving a
very good addition to the camp. The
large new range in the kitchen is max
ing that part of the camp better pre-
pared to take care Of a most important
side Of a boys life. The boys are
getting into things from the first and
are busy planning bali, tennis, swim
ming. boating, fishing and working
on the numerous tests for their en-
blems and banners.
The first Sunday service was held
in the outdoor chapel and Chaplain
Head Of Fort Ethan Allen, was the
preacher. He gave a very Interesting
talk which was much enjoyef by the
boys. Many visitors have already
called al the camp. On June 23rd Dan
Beard. the famous scout, spent few
hours with the boys and gave them
many new ideas about voodcraft and
outdoor life. On the same day the
graduating class Of the Springfield

THE BLOCK DANCE

The Block Dance came perilously
near being dance in the Gymnasium
Monday morning the sun sulked be-
hind the clouds, an occasional smile
betrayed it and warmed hope in al
most discouraged hearts; then it came
out whole heartedly and amply justi-
fed the risk which Mr.. Andrew h.
Martin, president Of the Community
Club, took when he decided to have the
dance prepared for the roadway.
The stage for Cox's Orchestra was
attractively gay with our country's
colors and great credit is due the hotel
electrician, Mr.. James Shuley, for his
ingenuity and generous contribution
of energetic interest manifested in the
outlining and lighting Of the space for
the dancing. Those twelve hearty
looking barrels painted red, white and
blue, were effective aids to the direc-
tors and floor managers, as they sup
ported the rope barrier, as well as be-
ing support for the lighting appar-
atus.
The Community Club wishes 10 ex-
press its debt of gratitude TO Mrs.
George 0rvis and TO Mr.. Martin and
his staff and to all these who so kindly
and generously made material contri-
but.cn to the fund greatly needed TO
put the clubs house in order. As enc
of the club members remarked: 1T
was an outright confession Of need
when our brave young women mem
bers went about collecting, and do let
us hope that now that we have realiz-
ed over two hundred dollars to start
our housekeeping we will be able TO
be self-supporting in future" That
sentiment was echoed by other mem
bers and the resolution made TO make
future entertainments free from
special appeals"
The oldest of Manchester's residents
cannot remember the village so
thronged with people as it was Mon
day night at the Block Dance, and the
most critical must have commented
favorably upon the kind and hearty
zest of the guests who attended. We
thank everybody.
