Ralph Van Courttight and the 1944 Boys State Band FOOTBALL FIELD BECOMES CAMP HAUGHTON Named after Department Commander Bill Haughton, city of tents was erected on the football field at Grant Union High School in 1944. Reveille at 6:30 was followed by Flag Raising at 7:00. Then 15 minutes of calisthenics led by Tiny Brockelman or Pop Brorsen. During the recreation period some time was spent in marching in order to make a good appearance during the march to the Capitol. One incident of the life in tent city occurred when a violent storm struck the city one night and almost wrecked the place. Hundreds of tiny frogs jumped around the field next day and found their way into pillows, pajamas, and sleeping bags.
