1877 JUNIOR EXTENSION
CAMP IS HUGE SUCCESS

you've got to get up, you've got
to get up, you've got to get up in the
morning"-and every one of the hum
dred and forty-five girls in the Junior
Extension Camp were out of bed and
dressing before the last notes of the
bugle sounded. Thirty minutes later
they were for the last time going
through their setting up exercises. A
few hours later the bedding was all
rolled, the big sleeping tent was down,
good-byes were being said and the
five days and nights Of joyous fell
lowship of work and play we're at an
end.
II know they had a good time," said
one of the county officials who had a
girl in camp. "Now tell me something
Of what they learned"
First of all they learned to know
one another, to get along together in
groups. Thep learned the value of
team work, promptness and order.
Section three made the highest rec
ord in team work and best attitude
toward camp life. Section five de-
rye special mention, for although
they did not win highest honors in
this class, they, like section three,
were neve X. P. for extra service.
Miss Mary Ann GRADER, we'll known
in Glasgow for the nutrition work she
has conducted here, gave the girls il
Illustrated lectures on the proper plan
ming of healthful meals and on the
general subjects of food and nutri-
tion. She also instructed them on the
points of a perfect loaf of bread and
gave them a demonstration in bread
judging. Each girl was weighed,
measured and given a colored tag to
correspond with the condition revealed
by the scales and tape line. The leg
end of the cards is "white, all right,
blue won't do, red danger ahead-we
work with u might to make them all
white" The under weight red and
blue girls were urged to drink milk.
One result was that the camp con-
sumed rs gallons of milk daily.
Miss Lottie Milan, from Bozeman,
gave instructions in sewing and in
bread making. After the girls had
learned the various kinds Of stitches
each one made use of her knowledge
by making a bingham handkerchief to
take home as a souvenir of the camp.
This work was judged, with the fol-
lowing results:
Valborg Hanson, of Opheim, did the
best work in stitches, and Elizabeth
Bauer, of Nashua, made the best hand
kerchief.
Beads were made out of Dennison's
wax and many beautiful strings were
displayed on the girls. The girls en-
joyed this work more, perhaps, than
any other feature of the program. 1t
had value in that it was correlated in
a talk given on decoration of a gar
ment, emphasizing color, space and
line.
Miss Margaret Muckley, of the state
department of health at Helena, gave
daily health lectures, covering such
subjects as daily care Of the body,
first aid bandages, he'd making, care
Of invaiids -ss-she problems of the
adolescent gir1.
Mrs. Mignon Quaw Lott was in
charge of all games, stunts and recre-
ational activities. For purpose of COM
petitive games the girls were divided
into five groups and a great spirit of
group team work was developed. The
outdoor athletic stunts We're very
much handicapped by showery wea-
Their. Friday night, the final stunt
night, was attended by as many towr
folks as could get into the hall.
]. R. Campbell, the only man ir
camp, had charge of the tent and the
motion pictures as we'll as pulling the
girls through their setting up exercises
The hour of five to six was reserv'
ed for cleaning up and at this time
one section a day was given a lessor
in manicuring by Miss Linhoff. Every
girls appearance is measured by the
condition of her hands and the mid
get manicuring sets, which were &
gift of the cutex people to every cir
in camp, were appreciated. These sets
gave the girls the materials to make
their nails good to look at.
The program as it was carried Out
referred to the work which is carried
on during the year in boys and girls
club work. Many of the girls were
club girls and it is hoped many more
will see the work which is being car.
ried on and become members.
Miss Gertrude Erickson, home dem.
onstration agent of Valley county, ant
Mrs. Geo. Berry, secretary of the
Valley County Red Cross Chapter, en-.
joyed the wonderful spirit of the girls
who were at camp and the thank;
which they expressed for the goot
time they had been shown.
