music committee, and Mrs. Dodge, ad-
ded much to both the school sessions
and the evening programs. These
were contributed by the following
talent: Miss Josephine Criss, Union
town; Miss Helen Knight, Charleston;
Miss Mary Drum, Miss Nell Conner.
Miss Margaret Jones and Miss Dortha
Thomas, Frostburg; Mrs. Baez and
her group of young people; Mrs. F. A.
Thayer, Jr., Mrs. Harold Harmed, Mr.
julius Littman, the last three from
Oakland; Mrs. Dodge and Miss Dodge,
Camp Clean chorus and seXtette, and
Mrs. E. W. Yates, pianist.
Sharing in all the many wonderful
privileges and array of speakers and
talent provided by the school were
Camp Clean and the new camp for
boys, Camp Amisted, which they have
named in honor of our MeXicanfriends.
Camp Clean had II girls enrolled
this year, the largest number in its
history, and this is due to the very
efficient and consecrated leadership of
its leader, Miss Anna Shaw, of Balti-
more, who has served in this capacity
for the past several years, and her
faithful, efficient counselors.
Camp Amisted started out very en-
couragingly with 16 boys under the
direction of Mr.. Allison Long, of Balti-
more, and in the five minute speeches
made by Jimmie Fresh, Chester Hobbs
and others on different nights during
the week they promised to bring more
| boys with them next year.
Very fitting and impressive conse-
Grafton services were held by the
camps and the school during the week.
| A camp fire service was held by Camp
Clean on Sunday night to which the
entire school was invited and Camp
Amisted had its farewell service on
Monday night. At the conclusion of
Mrs. Colvin's address on Tuesday
night the school and the camps all
joined in helping to build an Interna-
tional Highway of Friendship when
representatives pledged themselves to
do everything possible to further the
interests of this great project in the
name of Christ.
During the course of the week the
auditorium was made very attractive
and inviting by the use of lovely flow
ers and shrubbery arranged under the
supervision of the local committee,
Mrs. E. L. Davidson, Mrs. E. L. Win
chell, Mrs. A. A. Richards and Miss
Ida King. These made a fitting set
ting for the background of flags, pen
nants, flowers, blankets, and other
articles brought from Mexico by Mrs.
Dodge, DR.. and Mrs. Dale, and Mrs.
Baez.
The literature room over which Miss
Della Sherman of Baltimore presided
again in her pleasant way was well
supplied with all kinds of helps from
the different denominations represent
ed in the school. Then, a dream that
Mrs. Dodge has had for some time
was realized this year when a special
ly equipped prayer room" was pro-
vided. In here those attending the
school could retire for meditation and
prayer. The camp for boys was also
one of her dreams that became a
reality this year, and to her earnest
efforts credit is largely due for the I'M
usually strong faculty and programs
presented by the school this year.
1t is to be regretted that other fields
of service call her from the leadership
of the school for another year and
when thsi announcement was made at
the annual executive board meeting
held on the last day of the school Mrs.
J. NJ. Knight of Charleston, who has
served as registrar for the past several
years, was named temporary general
chairman.
