The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1936-08-13

HumDerS arranged Dy the director OF
music, Mrs. E. W. Yates, of Cumber-
land, Nd. Those who contributed to
the musical programs included men,
bers of Camp Clean and the boys
camp.
One of the great pleasures rendered
to the school was in the hearing of the
beautiful rendition of several solos by
Mr.. Wallace Ashley, son of Rev. and
Mrs. W. E. Ashley, of Oakland, accom-
panied by his sister, Mrs. Paul Gill, of
Baltimore. Mr.. Wallace Ashley is
from Princeton, N. ]. We say please
come again.
I Many others gave delight in song
and instrumental numbers-the boys
and girls camps in singing spirituals,
duets, sextettes. double quartets and
choruses. At the piano and directing
were Mrs. E. W. Yates, Cumberland;
Mrs. Virginia Shelton, Charleston, W.
Va, and Miss Helen Knight, Charles
ton. Voices in the choir were the fol-
lowing: Helen Miller, Helen Knight,
Joy Young, Charleston; Mrs. Griffith,
Baltimore; Mary Robb, Mrs. Edwin
Saylor, Cumberland, who with Rev.
Herzel, Mrs. Mabel Fenner and Mrs.
Ernest Yates and the boys comp rem
dered many spirituals, to the delight
of those present; Mildred Ross, West
ernport; Dorothy Reynolds, Balti-
more; Marguerite Shank, Charleston;
Marion Whitlock, Washington; Vir-
GINA Kirkpatrick, Cumberland; Mary
Godfrey, Clarksburg; Frances Cur
tbs, Washington; Frances Koontz, of
Uniontown, Pa.
Seven-year-old Virginia Lee Dayton,
of Westernport, Md, was indeed a
treat to many who had not heard the
little lady before. She sang from
memory many beautiful numbers as
we'll as recited yards of verse in mon
ologue, taking the part of three peo-
pie in as many voices. Tony Cher pet
name) played the professional on
the piano Thursday evening. She is
indeed a gift from God.
Mrs. Yates spoke of the great work
our dear Mrs. F. I. johnson was do
ing in the field of temperance and had
on the blackboard temperance songs,
temperance rounds, which the two
camps sang heartily and copied to use
in their respective church schools and
leagues.
Richard Caulker, a National of AT
RIGA, who has been getting his masters
degree in America, sang for US sew
eral numbers just the way they do it
in his home town in Africa.
The girls camp was always ready
with fine music and we wish we could
mention each name, for they deserve
much praise and it is usually the I'M
named that has rendered the most SER
vice, but our Father knows and the
school enjoyed all you gave unto them.
Your leaders, each one, deserves hon
orable mention, but we will leave that
for someone else to do and bow unto
each and all of you very humble
but gracious "thank you"

Camp Clean
This year Camp Clean surpassed all
other years in many respects.
Of the 60 girls registered, 62 ac-
tually lived in camp, which is ban
ner record. These girls represented
seven denominations.
Miss Anna Shaw, the camp leader,
was assisted by six exceptionally ca
pable counsellors: Miss Janet Gil
bert, Miss Ruth Murray, Miss jose
phine Kriz, Mrs. V. Shelton, Miss Mar
garet Daley. Mrs. M. Griffith.
We were very fortunate in having
as our guests living in camp with us
two lovely Negro girls from Wash
ington, Miss Frances Curtiss and Miss
Marion Whitlock. 1t was very challeng-
ing to have our Negro friends in our
midst and needless to say they won
the love and admiration of all the
girls and counsellors. Because of the
sharing of our ideas both races real
lied that with Christ as the center
peoples of all races can and must
live in peace and harmony.
The camp program was carried on as
usual: morning watch, classes, rec
reation and evening meetings at the
auditorium, closing at camp in our
prayer groups. The morning watches,
where we began each day with God,
proved a great benefit, listening to
Him to reveal those things in our
lives unworthy of follower of Christ
and giving ourselves anew to Him, the
day went smoothly for all.
