DELIGHTFUL HOUSE PARTY,

July 9Th a party of boys and girls from

The facilities at Floridatown for boat

Glover, Leon Jones and Norman Alex
ander who made the trip from Century
down the EscambIa river in q launch
They were invited guests until Friday
when they returned UP the Escambia,
reaching Century Sunday afternoon.
Wednesday the main party made the
trip from Floridatown to the Gulf in
launch. This was one OF the most en-
Joyable days Of our outing. Tho breakers
were running high that day, making our
bathing fine.
On this trip Carrie Jones, Maude Tuber-
vile and ManeIle Finch became expert
pilots as Mr.. Reed took them under his
charge and taught them to steer the boat.
The remainder OF the party passed the
time going to and from the Gulf in play
Ing cards Carrie Jones and Professor

this trip.
Thursday brought more visitors from
Century. Jads Coleman, Oden Martin
and Harold McCurdy set up their camp
at Floridatown for three days. They
added no little bit to the pleasure Of the
camping. Mr.. e. I. MCGEE was the cham

and many small fish. Carrie Jones was
champion GEAR catcher, catching an
alligator gar and calling 1t a Gear"
Mnude Son TIborville was official bait
carrier, providing bait cheerfully for ev-
eryone who happened to be on the dock.
Miss Jones and Mr.. Thornton received
the prize for being the most graceful
dancers at the dance Friday night.
Edythe Parker was known to be the
quietsst girl and Eleanor Harrison the
noisest girl in the camp. Myrtle "Ches- |
ter" Turberville was voted to be the |
best Iemonads maker in the crowd, and
to have given away the most desirable |
souvenirs.
Sadness began to prevail that the time |
to return was so near. All wanted to !
phone home for permission to stay an
other week, but it was finally decided |
not to.
Saturday evening the party divided part |
going to Milton to the picture show with |
Miss Elise Jones as chaperone, and part |
going on q Laundering expedition with |
Professor Wheeler. Both had very en-
joyable evening.
An account Of this trip would be in
without, mentioning our superb |
cook, Callie Moore, who furnished good
things to eat, merriment, and nick names
for almost every member Of the party. |
Without her our stay could not possibly
have been as enjoyable as it was. All
good times have to close sometimes, and
so our outing ended Sunday.
Plans are made for another camp by the
same party next summer.
The camp was in charge Of Prof. F. A.
Wheeler of Century, ably assisted by Miss
Elsie Jones.
