WELCOME HALL NEWS

because OF the unexpected large
number of campers this year, what
was planned to be a ten-day period
at Snail Lake was regretfully
changed to two periods of five days
each. Girls ten years and over left
Saturday, July rs, at $3.50 p. m.
and will return Thursday, the Both,
at which time the younger group
will go, to be out until August 5.
All persons registered and exam
ined by a physician please be at
Welcome Hall at 800 p. m. Thurs
day, July 80.
The Welcome Hall craft, sewing,
cooking, and room furnishing
classes were concluded Wednesday,
July %, with Open House at Ober
Club. Each class displayed exhibits
of its accomplishments for the
three and one-half weeks of work.
The craft class made hangers,
house slippers, pot holders, and
wall hangings; dresses and skirts
were made by the sewing class;
the cooking group was quite sue
cessful with its menu planning and
cooking; the room furnishing class
furnished a reading room at ODER
Club to be used by girls. For this
room an old discarded piano was
made into a bookcase, and a desk;
a davenport was renovated; small
bookcase was constructed of prune
boxes, a waste basket from cab
bage crate; a rug, curtains, curtain
rods and a desk pad were also
made. During the evening must
cal selections were furnished by a
group of Welcome Hall girls, Miss
Mary Bradley, Mrs. Florence
Hibbs, and Mrs. Williams from To-
peka, Kansas. Cookies, punch, nuts
and minis were served. The Uni
versity students who were in
charge of the classes were given
souvenirs from Welcome Hall.
Members of the Oak Leaf Art
Club met at Snail Lake, as the
guest of Mrs. Hagan, Monday, July
81. Mrs. Ora McMoore and Mrs.
Ruth Williams, daughter and
daughter-in-law of Mrs. Williams,
were visiting guests.
The Cosmopolitan Girls will not
meet until August 8, 700 p. m.

COMMUNITY HOUSE
Hallie's Stay at Home Camp is
fast coming to the close of what
has been a most successful sum-
mer season. The enrolment was
the size which could be adequately
handled by a staff the size of our
summer one.
Giving invaluable assistance to
the summer program were: Misses
Juanita Schuck, Ventress Jackson,
LaVette Gross, Theresa Ray, Erma
Monson and Florence Mitchell. 1t
was particularly gratifying to see
these girls at work because we
knew that not so many years ago
people were working and helping
with them. If the Community
House can continue to help young
people grow and develop in them
a sense of willingness to serve and
desire to learn to serve well, it
will have accomplished much.
John Whitaker had a one day in
stitute for all Stay at Home Camp
volunteers, therefore these helpers
were somewhat prepared as to
what to expect.
Camp closing will be held Fri
day, July 81, at $3.50 p. m. Stay
at Home Campers invite you to
spend the evening with them to
see and hear what they did during
the camp season.
Two out of town visitors were
campers here this year. Billy
Taylor, Tommy Adams.
Fred Williams is the new Village
Director at Hinckley Camp for
Halle. Joe Camp is quite a ia
vorite around Halle these days
and he will be going to camp also.
All camp registrations are now in
and campers leave August 3 for
Hinckley, Minnesota. The St.
Johns Landing Cooperative Camp.
CYDA under Mrs. Hazel Butler
and Mr.. John Whitaker will con-
tinue to meet Tuesdays, Thursdays
and Fridays throughout the sum-
mer months.
