Jeff shrugged one shoulder and resumed whittling. AN INCIDENT IN THE BOY SCOUT CAMP. It was cold, wet, and a fog rose out of the Willw river stream; and all of the Boy Scout camp were plunged in sleep—all save one, Daniel, who lay tossing on his bunk in his sleep. He arose and clad himself and came over to me and awoke me. We crept out and freshened the fire and started over the hill to Nolan Jacobson’s tent. As we approached it, a warming ray of sunlight crept into the valley and thrust joyous courage into our hearts. Our young pal was stretched at full length on his bed of spruce boughs and his clothes were lying beside him. He awoke as we pulled the flap aside and arose on one elbow, for he slept lightly, a final morning’s sleep, and said: “Who the dickens are ye anyway? You must have come here for some strange purpose for ’tis not gray dawn yet.” Daniel whispered and Nolan Jacobson arose and clad himself in his robe of boy scout clothes and) armed him with his hatchet and fishing rod. The three of us walked in single file through the woods—Daniel in the lead— and came to the brink of the Willow river and uncovered a light, sturdy canoe. We launched the canoe and set forth, Daniel at the head and I at the stern. The mist arose thinly and the sun shone through it, even as after a day of rain it pours its rays into the passing vapor, forming a many-col- ored rainbow. So did the sun’s reflected rays shine on us. The canoe swept up stream, and as I looked back, a stir of human forces appeared in the camp and the many camp fires danced through the last of the mist, as in the mid of night, the elves and fairies, clad in silky, waving garments, skip and dance in the rays of the moon. So did the fires of the boy scout camp seem to us. We neared! a bend and stopped the canoe and drew it up on shore and took our fishing tackle. The fish were biting well that morning. As I tugged at a large silver bass, the fish turned on its side and sun rays shining through the clear water, glanced and shone full in my eyes as, when just before a storm, the sun seems to shine its hardest and gets dim and is not seen again until after the storm. Likewise did this huge fish shine in my eyes.

t rue 'Blue The Girls’ Athletic Club was organized in the fall of 1922 under the direction of Miss Roe. Several teachers selected sixteen girls from the high school as charter members. They were: Ruth Arnquist, Ruth Wright, Lucile Larson, Minda Anderson, Catherine Lahiff, Elvira Thoen, Evelyn Brandenburg, Jean Bradford, Marie Ruemmele, Vivian Anderson, Pauline Yoerg, Doris Christoph, Juanita Slauson, Marion Walker, Marie Lundy and Helen Walker. Since then the club has added more girls to the membership list until there are now about thirty members. The purpose of the club is to encourage high ideas and to push and boost every activity of the school. This is shown by the motto: DEV- ELOPE YOUR PUSH ANTD YOUR PULL WILL TAKE CARE OF IT- SELF. The officers elected in 1923 were: Marion Walker, President: Margaret Hellweg, vice president; Evelyn Brandenburg, secretary; Agnes Lahiff, treasurer;; Miss Roe, advisor. At a home-coming Christmas Party held in 1922 the members sold sandwiches and cake to raise money to buy new gym equipment. This was a great success. The members served as a telephone committee to let the parents know when school was to be held in the evening so that they could visit school. At Christmas time their services were enlisted to sell the Christmas Seals This item which is from The Hudson Star Observer gives you an idea of the initiation of the club this year: Pigtails here, pigtails there, Pigtails everywhere.” “I don't see what makes some of the girls wear their hair that way,” remarked rne of a crowd which had assembled to watch a group of girls wearing pigtails go by. And how does it happen that each has the same number 1-2-3-4-5-6- 7-8-9-10? Ten braided pigtails. How hideous.” During the week the members must wear a G A. C. tag in a conspic - uous place; they must bow to all teachers in the high school and also to the old members of the G A. C.
