then hiking, picking berries or i'm
proving camp, then supper and the
evening FIRE with songs and stories.
"Though like wanderer, the sun
gone down. was the good night
song followed by taps with every
body in bed at 9:15. This was the
daily program.
Wednesday night there was
wiener roast on the beach and the
same evening every one gathered
around a huge bonfire and sang
songs and toasted marshmallows.
Suddenly there appeared man with
moving picture camera and took
all of our pictures. He stayed in
camp until noon the next day, tax
ing pictures of the different actlNi-
ties. :.
Thursday was the anniversary of
Camp Sealth and banquet was
served. Toasts were given and each
girl had an individual birthday cake
with one candle on it. Thursday
night there was fancy dress party,
no masks, and no dancing, but stunts,
songs, folk dances and Rotations
were given. .,
Fire was held, everybody wearing
ceremonial gowns. Each group was
called by name and answered with
song. Honors were awarded and
ranks bestowed. The Hanford girls
carried off 4 Wohelo honors and 8
Good Camper armbands; two White
Bluffs girls were elected tent re-
representatives. and two Hanford girls
were in the group that won in the
song contest. A pretty good show
ing for 10 among 200.
We returned to Seattle Saturday
evening. We went to the Camara-
| derie and stayed all night and next
morning two of the girls went to
Port Townsend, two to Carnation,
the rest of the party taking the
$3.50 boat to Enetai, the summer
cottage of Mrs. Soibakke. She and
Mr.. Morgan met us at the dock.
| after dinner we ali went over to
Bremerton and visited the U. S.
Navy Yard. We were shown over
the u. S. s. California by special
permit. Special rates were also
given us on the ferries and auto
camps were free to us. Returning
to Enetai we spent the night there
and went back to Seattle Monday
afternoon. Irene Miller was the
guest of the girls that night. Tues
day morning Mrs. Zerwekh called
for us, and taking a lunch the whole
party went to Woodland Park. Doro-
thy and Duane Conkle accompani-
ed us.
We started for home Wednesday
morning, banners on each side of the
truck announcing "camp Fire Girls"
bringing smile and wave of the
hand and many times, "Good Bye
Girls" and "Have good time"
Tire trouble delayed us some
what and at Snoqualmie everyone
went to look at the Falls and there
wasn't any. Two hundred and sixty
eight feet of solid rock but not
drop of water coming over. All
aboard again but could not make
Ellensburg and so slept on the
ground again at Gle Elun, where
we had breakfast at restaurant.
We cooked our own dinner in the
auto park at Yakima and planned to
get home before dark but at Archie
Browns at Cold Creek we had a
blow out which delayed us two
hours as we had to wait for an in
ner tube to be brought from town.
But no one complained. All were
very tired when we reached home
but all decided that the trip was a
success. The expense for each girl
was $3.50. The Hanford girls had
raised nearly $500 so they paid 81
each and there was twenty cents in
the treasury when we reached home.
We are very grateful to Mr.. Cords
for making the trip possible and
to Tommy Nichols for his good ma
ture and kind assistance.
