Taps-everybody turn in. S:45.
The boys were so excited about
camp that they did not sleep much
the first night. In fact one young
fellow was homesick and did not go
to sleep. The cook Il Scout Master
were sleeping fine and behold they
were awakened by the chatter of the
boys, at four O'Clock in the morn
ing. But the following evening June
10, the boys were ready for bed at
1880, and on the morning of June
IL, it was one big task to get the
boys up at Z a. m.
On account of the increased appe-
tites of the boys, on Saturday June
-, Mr.. Morgan had to go to town
for more supplies. And as sure as
anything, while the cook was away
we had company. Mrs. Krandle, the
Girl Scout leader, and Mr.. johnson
drove the Girl Scouts to Rattlesnake
for a days outing, and to gain points
concerning camp life.
AS it was nearly noon when the
girls arrived the old general became
excited and flew to the kitchen to
try and prepare dinner as best he
could, which did not take long.
Soon after dinner the boys put on
a short programme for the enter
tainment OF the girls. 1t consisted
of knot tieing, by John Thomas, time
10 seconds; Will Clegg tieing the
same behind his back in % seconds.
Rice ODER took examination and
passed all of his Tenderfoot test,
after which a number of other boys
demonstrated First Aid Bandaging;
lighting a fire in the open with two
,,nfaIA- ,,etpn No rfn,,,1;,,r
by two arm semaphore; the proper
use of the knife and axe, and the
use of the compass.
Just as the programme had fin
ished Mr.. Morgan was noticed trying
to drive his car up the hill just be-
fore he got to amp. Now the boys
knew if they did not push the car
up the hill that there would be no
eats, so away they went and all push
ed, lizzy sure did go when IL young
fellows got back of her.
After supper a lot of games We're
played by all, during all of this frolic
Mr.. and Mrs. Edlund, and Mr.. Elk
man drove up. We were pleased to
see them, especially Mr.. Eklund as
he brought a large cake for Yngve,
with the inscription, Boy Scouts"
on it in a nice colored frosting. Yngve
certainly had a lot of friends until
the cake was gone.
A camp fire was started and every
body sat around and toasted marsh
mallows, after which the boys de-
cided they would like to sing for their
friends, especially the Girl Scouts. 1t
was suggested that each patrol sing
a song. The Elephant Patrol, Tent
No. l waA first. The boys in this
tent were the only ones hat made up
an original song.
The Camp Fire broke up about 8
p. m, and the visitors got ready to
leave. 1t was one hour past time
for the boys to hit the hay, SO the
visitors had not been zone long when
all the boys were in n fast asleep.
The next morning being Sunday the
boys were permitted to stay in an
hour later. After all the work was
done, we gathered in a circle and
had a little Sunday School. Mr.. Nor
gan gave a little talk on the follow
ing text: when | was a child, l
spake as a child, / understood as a
child, | thought as a child; but when
| became a man, / put away childish
things" 1t was a talk hat suited
the occasion, which was greatly APP
preciated by all the boys.
On the same day the following
people visited camp, Mr.. and Mrs.
Ober: Mrs. Morgan and family; Mr..
and Mrs. Bill Nelson; and Mr.. and
Mrs. Ira Clark, and Edna.
