Prize-winning Diary of Jaquolyn E.
Jernberg, Casseleigh unit, Proctor,
Camp Oliver Hoist:
First Day-Left Duluth too early and
Proctor earlier. Train got to Ely 1:12
Met two Southerners. They all went
to Winton on the train. Mrs. Nc
Carly met us at the train, she found
us by the uniforms We were so hungry
that she was afraid we would eat
every thing the camp had, so she
gave us something to eat then. We
went swimming and had fun.
Third Day-Lois' bed fell out of the
tent. When we got it in again, she
sat down on it and it almost folded
up! Skeeter fixed it. We were almost
asleep again when a cry of help came
to my ears. Madelien had been having
a bad dream. Then it rainedI What a
! night Had only about three hours
of sleep then got UP and we had SWIM
ming and canoeing. Got to bed at
$50 and slept well
Last Day-We cleaned our tent
quickly but well, We thought. Then
JoJo said at dinner, Girls, your tent
was just terrible this morning" We
asked why She said, 81 couldn't find
anything wrong with it," That made
us feel real good. Miss Chapman
came, and we showed her our camp
fire SITE We went on a picnic supper
Afterwards, we had an echo campfire
