camp ROTARY, where LOCAL RO.
TARIANS ENTERTAINED 30 EOYS
FOR Two WEEKS, Cl 0SED

The Rotary camp for boys. for the
summer season Of 1922. which has
been the enter of intense interest
among the boys themselves for sew
eral months, and which has caused
many a days enthusiastic and I'M
selfish work for the Rotarians them
selves, passed into history the first
of the week. The camp is desolate
and the boys all back at their homes.
Next year Camp Rotary will prob
ably be a feature of vacation time
but on a larger scale so that more
boys may be accommodated.
The boys all came back after the
fortnight in the hills as the guests
of Rawlins Rotary, well. happy, sun
burned and loud in their praises of
the good time which they had en-
joyed every minute since they went
away. There RAJ just enough dis
cipline. but plenty of freedom Of in
dividual action. Just enough work.
but plenty OF play. Just enough
rules but all of them reasonable and
necessary. And grub, o. boy! Plenty,
and the best ever!
Life in Camp Rotary began each
morning when Chief McGraw blew
the whistle at 6 o'clock, which was

out. At $3.50 the boys were lined up
for a short drill and physical ex-
ercise, and at Z o'clock breakfast was
ready. So were the boys. After do
ing Justice to the first meal Of the
day the boys cleaned up camp and
we're then left to their wi devices.
No need to 90 into detail of how 80
live American boys spent the time
from then until HAS. when they
lined up and washed up for dinner.
which was served at o sharp.
Supper at 6, after a strenuous after
noon, running, fishing, hiking, play
ing, and so forth.
To many boys the most wonderful
part of camp life comes in the eve
ming, just before bed time. when the
huge camp fire is lighted and every
body sits around and enjoys the COO
mountain air and tells ghost stories
and other weird tales. Tie camp
fire at 8 o'clock was a regular thing
at Camp Rotary. every night and
lasted until the whistle gave the 60
to-bed and lights-out signal.
During the time the boys we're in
camp there was a series Of athletic
contests pulled off and records kept
of the winners, SO that on their ar
