gives an interesting account of how
tn" children spent their playtimc.
'Our topic is recreation and We
believe that We certainly haven t
had boy or girl in this camp who
have not enjoyed themselves 10 the
utmost. We have had so many
Pleasant times at this camp that it Is
bard to decide just what TO write
about first.
Many joyous hours we have
spent playing ball. We also have
two swings which are kept III use by
tine young children. BY the kind
ness Of M. Vaughn of Jacumha. we
have had the privilege Of going into
, the plunge twice II week, which We
appreciated very much. Thank
you. Mr.. Vaughn.
