Boys Comments
"When we got to camp, the boys
had to lug their baggage from the
truck to their cabin. Ugh. The girls
had their taken up to their cabins
for them Mr.. Meinhardt took
us for a hike around to the bound
aries of the area. If anyone went
beyond the boundaries, they would
be sent home.
Zone of the boys caught garter
snake. Another boy almost got bit
ten by a crawfish. We saw a big
raccoon at the Museum; we petted
it. One night some boys saw a
skunk while they we're on their way
to the cabin.
"On Monday night a man talked
to US about Indians, and his son
danced Indian dances. On Tuesday,
an astronomer from Case Obser-
vatory told US about the sun,
planets, stars, satellites, and outer
galaxies. On Wednesday, Mr.. Hol-
derbaum came out from Shaw High
School, and we did chalk drawing.
That night we square danced. On
Thursday we did skits. The win
ming cabins got ice cream sundaes. f"
Superior:
Girls Comments
"On Monday, when we got off
the bus at the Camp, the truck
with the baggage drove to the
girls area. the boys had to carry
their luggage to their cabins. But
don't forget, 1t was almost right
next to the parking lot. 1t wasn't
a far struggle for those poor, poor
boys.
Eve had many adventures. One
was when we went to the swamp,
to get reeds for weaving. One of
the girls fell in the mud. Another
adventure was the trip to Squire's
Castle, when we got lost for a
while. The teacher climbed up to
the top Of hill, and drew a map
to get her bearings. She said it
would be five minutes before we
got there, but it was fifteen
minutes. One Of the boys spotted
it. But I'll tell you a secret.
Squire's Castle isn't really a castle.
It's only an old gate house.
"We had to climb a steep, steep
hill once. We found a cave. One of
my girl friends said, Cave men
lived there I said They're modern
cave men. Here's q cellophane
wrapper
"On Monday, Mr.. Jirus and three
boys gave US a demonstration of
how to make beds. They made
them with hospital corners. 1t
seemed funny, since nobody was
sick.
"The night l liked best was We'd
nesday, because there was dancing.
eve went on q hike every day,
and learned about science. We
would find or learn something new
on each trip. We. had art lessons,
and wrote home for English. We
are doing something every minute,
for Shoes Off period"
Mayfair:
Reporters Jottings
"Mr. Chaunce was awakened one
night by a woodchuck digging
under his cabin. After candy bars,
perhaps?
"In the evening the boys and
girls walked up the lane to the
Craft Hall. They looked like fire
flies, with their flashlights going
OH and off in the darkness. One
night, the boys chased a skunk that
they saw around the dining thall.
it left.
Boys swinging on grape vines
look like monkeys. But only then?
"One boy caught butterflies with
a big net. He got some yellow
sulphurs and q brown spotted
fritillary.
"The walters bell rings fifteen
minutes befor a meal. Is that food
good!
"Prize ribbons are awarded for
quiet at night; quiet during rest
periods; and clean cabins. The
winning groups on Stunt Night
also win prizes. Mr.. Chaunce's
cabin won every time.
"A girl announced she had some
thing called Hearts Bursting With
Love. Tough luck, boys; it is only
a flower Some girls liked to
have the boys along on the hikes,
though; it helped to be pulled up
the hills"
