- c fe w ft' 1-Y' J l'iQ U 'ci:'cC'5-Ev---EEF, --Rf B ef- IQ - Then one day we visited the Kellogg bird sanctuary. Not, however, 'till we'd wandered all over a pretentious estate emphatically marked private, and hiked at least a mile in the wrong direction in our efforts to find the place. Once there, Shoey promptly smashed her finger in the gate, and had to be rushed to town. VVell, after the guide made several geese fly for our special benefit, and after we'd pil- fered suflicient peacock feathers to estab- lish a modest millinery, we traipsed back to the launch-and home! Wasn't it nice that the campcraft class needed expe- rience in building fires and getting supper ready for that hungry bunch? Stunt night honors went to the Imps, tically the only excuse by which one could get into town? Remember that day we had chocolate pudding for dessert? That was when Martha Nowak, YVoodie, Mickey and Annette tooklover the reins for a day. And Martha made out the menus! Bean holes! Now that's something to meditate on at length. After a weary day's toil, the Imps' beans were adjudged best by Mrs. Cranwell, and she surely ought to know a good bean when she eats it! That night we had a buffet supper at the council ring in celebration of our new rustic benches, provided by the Ad- ministration class. The campfire was no more lighted than Miss Andersen desired but the Vik- us to scatter ings were it. We were consoled by f u r t h e r the winning amazed at of the song her request contest as .

And who will ever forget the look of pained surprise on the faces of the Imps when the Vikings rendered their musical gem, Just One More Pound ! The Imps felt the urge to act as host- esses, so invited their friendly rivals to a big time party. After apersonally con- ducted tour from the porch of the lodge to the inside by Peg Dodd, fudge, popcorn, games and dancing formed the attractions of the evening. And didn't it seem rather-well-co- incidental that so many nails were stepped on, when a visit to the doctor was prac- Pamp One Hundred Tliirfy-riglzt in the mid- dle of the ring. Baked potatoes! And who will forget that last hidden treasure deep down in the new permanent bean hole! Didn't the days simply fly? Remember how two Imps persuaded their fire to burn the string first, and thus won the fire- building contest? And the nights came all too soon, bringing with them the inevit- able fruit crackers and apples. Remember when we were simply faint- ing with hunger one morning, and Miss Andersen stoicly refused to be moved by our tearful pleas to open the store, and

f - ',,n'H.?fiQ32 ,CA CAMP PCITTCIWATCIMIE 0 0 0 June 1936. Kellogg Hall was overflowing with alumnae. The Time had come for the keeping of the tryst agreed upon back in 1931. As is usual on such occasions, the first hour was a confused uproar. Each newcomer was greeted with shrieks of hilarious joy. The Tower of Babel per- sonified! After the banquet, a comparative peace and security prevailed, but not for' long. Once again the tide broke with the innocent query: Do you remember when-'? I Sl fix Remember when the launch pulled up to the dock for the first time? And how perfectly thrilled we were at the thoughts of spending three whole weeks together at camp? And weren't we mystiiied at the com- mand to bring flashlight and blanket to the dock that night? First impressions are always best--at least they are often best remembered. Anywhy, none of us had forgotten how we paddled up the lake in the moonlight, and then drifted back under the star-lit sky-singing, oh so softly. That was a beautiful memory. The next night we met around the council ring. Junior Campers were di- vided into Imps or Vikings! Es Rice was made helmsman of the Vikings for a sec- ond time, and Bern Lehman became chief agitator of the Imps. Then, becoming sufiiciently sick on toasted marshmallows, we trailed off to bed. And who, do you suppose, conceived the too brilliant idea of a moonlight dip! All just because certain individuals thought that Lina's sounding of taps was a signal for general cat-calls, and a cer- tain other individual thought to the con- trary! Morning dips! There ought to be a moratorium declared on such things! Be- sides, it would have been a real economy in those times of depression, as anyone knows what ravenous appetites we ac- quired thereby. And then came the storm. That's not a mere literary phrase, either-it rained torrents. Miss Andersen and Miss Hard- ing, clad in slickers, dashed from cabin to cabin, closing Windows and shifting cots out of puddles. And with the dawn came a general sneezing and snifliing. Imme- diately Cabin II became the hospital, and eight protesting campers were packed off by themselves. With that, the fun began! From then on 'twas a case of no gargle- no breakfast! And Miss Andersen was right there to count noses for throatsb, too. Who said water ? Why, we drank so much that Clarice was inspired to the extent of composing a song in com- memoration. 'Member? Oh, yes. Bernsey was quite a com- poser, too. F' instance: There were three in the bed and the middle one said, 'Roll over, roll overl'- Speaking of Miss Behrensmeyer, remember that canoe trip we took up Lovers Lane in search of the beauties of nature? And how her canoe got stuck in the mud so that we had to form a chain gang and pull it out? l'ayv One Hzmdred T1z171'ty-sewn:

Y, .A -iA- --f- 4-fr 7' ' ,E,. , TF- -.nf Q - 13'-LA . .---- how Behrnsy and Miss Garvin came to the rescue with some pitchers of hot savita broth? One day we embarked in our war canoes and followed the Marathon swim- mers to the Brownie dock. And that brings to mind Senior skip day. While the Juniors were busy elsewhere, the Seniors slipped quietly away in the canoes, with Miss Harding. It wasn't till noon that they were actually missed - and then what plans formulated! Under the gallant leadership of Behrnsy, and fortified by gum and bathing suits, the Juniors manned a war canoe t and set ofif in hot pursuit. Enroute, several cases of acute sunburn were acquired and a dainty little lyric was ' dedicated to the still missing Seniors. After discovering their hide-out, the Juniors paddled back and were nearly capsized. Such a harrowing experience dampened their ardor none at all. How- ever, they immediately engaged in making pie beds and tying the Seniors' pajamas in the tree tops to iiaunt in the breeze. Incidentally, 'twas many a Senior that slept 'Kas was that night! When the xt xx Q x, eniors returned from their wanderings, they serenaded the sleeping camp with melodious song-but were rewarded with silence. They were not long in discover- ing the cause for such a phenomenon-for after a short struggle with the bedclothes, they heard a smothered giggle, another, another, and then an uproar! Ping pong tournaments, Miss Ander- sen's birthday cake, mail, stealthy mid- night conferences of doubtful nature, Saturday clean-ups, Imp day, Viking day, classes, meal times, social hours, sings, , war canoe parties-all iilled the days to the full. Labor ,T Day, when half the camp KX ,' went places, the other half was consoled at the council fire by fudge, a Vic fremem- ' ber Mood Indigo ?J and fortune telling as rendered by Miss Hard- ing. Visitors' Day. Then the canoe and swimming meet. And the climax of it all--the war canoe race, won by the Vikings. Remember how nervous we were? And the banquet-remember how-- Rernember? But how could we forget! Page OW H1lIIli7'C'd Tliirly-11im
