Der of girls at the second annual
Rainbow Banquet held on the last
evening at camp. Announcement was
made at the banquet that Ruth Dean,
of Grafton, had been chosen by the
girls as best typifying the Esprit
of Camp Clean" Miss Virginia
Cooley, of Charleston, was toastmis-
tress at the affair, which was attrac-
lively arranged by the Misses Kath-
arine Jones and Anna Schaultz, as
sisted by committee of campers.
Then, too, there was the all-day
trip to beautiful Swallow Falls,
where certainly it was easy to find
God in Nature. On their return, the
girls sang their way around the Park
on their annual lantern professional,
one of the loveliest and most colorful
events of the week.
On the last evening when every
body was reluctantly thinking of
home, a never-to-be-forgotten candle
light service was held at Camp Clean
when each girl lit from the tall glis-
tening taper symbolic of the light of
Christ, her own wee light and pledg-
ed herself to follow His CLEAN. Pre-
ceding this service Mrs. ]. Wayne
Martin, of Uniontown, sang two solos.
Counsellors assisting Miss Shaw at
Camp Clean included Miss Anna
Schaultz, of Frederick, Md, and the
Misses Katharine Jones and Sarah
Evans, of Fairmont, W. Va.
The spirit permeating the camp was
most cooperative and this camp, the
largest in the schools history, closed
with each girl returning to her home
with the essence of the Clean which
is to be her guide in months and
years to come, in her heart.

THE INNER CIRCLE"
By SARAH ELIZABETH EVANS

by SARAH ELIZABETH EVANS
Living for Jesus" became a reality
to the forty-eight girls in attendance
at Camp Clean, where, under the
remarkable leadership of Miss Anna
Shaw, of Severna, Md, Jesus Christ
became a truly intimate Friend in
their daily lives-from Morning
Watch, through classes and playtime,
until in the prayer groups held at the
close of the evening sessions, each
girl whispered goodnight to God in
her own way.
During the morning hours Camp
Clean joined in the class schedule of
the adult school and enjoyed DR.. Har-
riet Jones' inspirational Bible talks;
methods taught by the capable Mrs.
Lippard, and the charming stories
told by Mrs. Grant. Mrs. Elsie Clark
Krug, of Baltimore, presented most
Interestingly the foreign textbook,
"The Rural Billion" while Mrs. Brum-
mitt, who taught the home textbook
in the adult school, captivated the
girls with her lively Interpretation of
"God and the Census"
