The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-11-11

ten cars, and the ride was along Chase avenue, to Bucks Hill and down Boyden street, which took considerable time, and completely baffled the girls as to their where- abouts. When they reached their destination which was in reality the Girl Scout Camp Wequapausett Miss Mary Schmidt, of the Girl Scout Council of Waterbury, was ready to receive them. The girls not recognizing her voice, were still un- able to locate themselves. They were iformed thta they were in an old cemetery, and stones had been placed in their path, which they were told were the tombstones. They were stopped beside "an open grave and a voice said, that one of the bodies had become separated" and then each one in turn was handed an eye, which was in reality skin- ned grape, tongue, and the mans lung, which he wanted back again. The lung was a wet sponge. All girls were squealing by that time, so that their blindfolds were removed, and they saw the camp. They were much relieved to be on familiar ground, and went into the main building, where log fire was burn ing, and decorations of spooks, witches, black and orange cats, made the scene one of great festiv- ity. Games of all kinds were then played, and refreshments of pea nuts, pop corn, home made dough. nuts, and cider, served. The party was voted a huge success by all present, which included: the mem- bers, Marie Fapiano, Jeanne Lefevre Beatrice Smart, Marjorie Cantin, Betty Cook, Betty Atherton, Thel- ma Petronio, Lillian MacMullen, Ruth Tyler, Vera Clark, Barbara Pollard, Barbara Burns, Ethel Meri- viglia, Lena Williams and Bernize Zaugg, also Miss Marie Laun, Miss Schmidt, Mrs. Murphy, MT.
