III. CAMP DEPARTMENTS
Francis Rolf Wheeler


After a long consideration of
various camp systems, and with
the advice OF two of the high school
teachers. one of whom had served
in the Canadian army and the other
in the United States army, six de-
parments were decided on for
the Juventon Independent camp,
and hence six departmental heads
must needs be elected. These, al
phabetically arranged, were: Camp
Captain, Camp Engineer. Camp Gar
dener, Camp Steward, Camp Trans
portation Expert and Camp Treas
urer. These were to serve during
the entire summer. The seventh
in the Council was the Camp
Director.
The work of each of these depart
ments was clear:
The Camp Captain was to take
charge of all outdoor sports, all
games, all hikes. and, whenever
any group was away from the main
camp, he was Director of that
group.
The Camp Engineer was to lay
out the site of the camp, direct the
building, plan sanitary arrange
ments, supervise the water supply
and look after the general hygiene
of the Camp.
The Camp Gardener was in
charge of all the gardens, and, with
the discretion of the Council, was
entitled to demand such labor as
was necessary for keeping up the
food supply.
The Camp Steward was to buy
all supplies, give them out to the
kitchens. supervise the diet, and
! see that food was properly pre-
pared, in ample quantity and good
quality.
The Camp Transportation Expert
was to look after the moving of the
tents, the hauling of the logs, and,
after the establishment of the
Camp, the hauling of supplies and
necessities.
The Camp Treasurer was in
charge of all funds, holding and
disbursing of the money, and keep
ing of an exact statement of the
earnings and expenditures of the
Camp. Who were to hold these
posts? Competition was KEEN

THREE BOYS AND A
TREASURE HIDDEN
IN GRAND CANYON

JACK DdFlS, Henry Burns ana
William Smith were sitting in the
woods on a hot spring afternoon.
Jack said, 81 sure would like to
have thrilling adventure this
summer"
William Smith was an Indian
boy and had heard his grandpapa
tell about a hidden treasure in the
Grand Canyon. He told them about
it and said, wouldn't it be fun to
go out there?"
A thrilling 'Hurrah!' came from
the boys.
William said to ask their parents
about going. They said that they
would.
81 think I can" said Jack.

"All right" said William, I'VE
will come out here tomorrow morn
ing and talk things over"
So, the boys went right home and
asked if they could go. Jacks
mother didn't want him to go, but
Jack said they would not get hurt.
Finally, his mother consented, and
he went to bed thinking where
they would get their money to go
with. When morning came he got
up early and so did the rest of the
boys, and met in the woods to dis
cuss where they would get their
money to go with.
In little while Jack said, 81

at it. too. Does this boat belong
to you boys?"
They said, Eyes; it sure is a fine

How much do you want for
her."
"Oh." said Jack, about $500 or
$4OO"

"All right" the boys said
They told their l(,rents about it

So the boys went down to the dock.
The man was there. He said,
Twill you make the bargain?"
''You bet we will"
"All right" said Mr.. Sanders,
and he reached in his pocket and
pulled out fountain pen. and gave

interesting, and clean. Not on
ly that, but one of the hardest
fought games that the | P HS
boys have been up against. The
game started with Littleton in
the lead and the score stayed
that way for several minutes.
However, Island Pond finally
got the range and at the end of
the first half had nine points
lead. The second half was a
hard struggle and when the
tir7e-kooper's whistle sounded
he score for that twenty min
'tes was 1913 in favor of I P

slowed up the local boys, but
hey got in some good passing
even at that. It's the passing
that counts,an the boys realize

team gets them.
