Here we have U10 Ollportunlty to live, for two wonderful Weeks, 2l111Ong God's most beautiful works of nature. We gain much in strength, resolution and knowleclgeg so that our return .from the mountain top to the val- leys will be a pathway which we will try to make more Christian. Nawakwa means progress-progress the world over in helping others to know anclnlove Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour. N awakwa means the opportunity of sharing in good Christian fung most of which we can take home to our communi- ties also. I N awakwa, our camp in the woods, truly is a work of God. A SENIOR CAMPER Camp To Have New Songbook Have you heard the latest? A Camp Nawakwa song book is on the way-in fact, it is in the hands of the printer. You will be amazed to find words and music for all those songs you sang this summer and the past twenty seasons-totaling at least one hundred. The section of folk songs and singing games is interesting be- cause every country is represented and directions will be included with the sing- ing games. Of course, you will sing the nonsense songs time and time again- The Bill- board Song, 'Tm a Nut, Mine Hand on Mineselff' etc. But to a Nawakwan, the inspirational songs will be valued most. ln addition to Nawakwa songs, negro spirituals and graces will be included. The most important feature of the book will be the empty staves following each section on which new songs can be added through the years. Down at the station early in the morning See the little puff-billies all in a row. See the little driver turn a little handle, Choo,--choo, puff, puff, off they go. Down at the swimmin' pool early in the morning - See the little campers all in a row. Hear the little leader blow a little whistle, Shiver,--shiver, splash,--splash, in they go.

I-Ie is a 11111111111-1' of the lixecutive Board of In- 11i111111 Synod 111111 was the Clllllllillll at the llll1l1ll'L'11l1l .'X1111ivers11ry of t11e Synod. While 111 N2lXX'2lliXX'Zl, he was a counselor 111111 ll lIlL'1ll1lCl' of the f:1c11lty. Pastor Davis p:1r1ic11l111'ly liked the planned program, the spirit 11f the camp 11nd tl1e counseling system. .-Xfter leaving our camp he went 111 a l.lll1lL'l'21l1 camp i11 Indiana to serve 1111 the faculty. Pastor Tiga The observer w1111 came the greatest distance and was one of our most dis- IlllglllSllCCl visitors, was ,laymasih Jilo Phael Tiga of Bihar, I11dia. Pastor Tiga who is president of a l.11theran Theologi- cal SCIlllll8l'j' i11 India, was studying at Gettysburg Seminary during this past year. His thesis. for the Degree of Mas- ter of Sacred Theology. was Theological Conceptions of t11e Lord's Prayer. The seminary in India was founded eighty years ago. It now has twenty-eight students and approximately seventy pas- tors in the surrounding areas. Its four year course is similar to that of our semi- naries. One of their greatest handicaps is the lack of books and other literature. Pastor Tiga, his wife and five children spend their sunnners in camps in India. Camps are very few i11 India and the need for trained leaders is great. The program of an Indian camp is very much like our own camping program. They, too, have Hillside services, classes, games, and craft work. It is Pastor Tiga's wish for his country that they might have many Na- wakwas in India. Mr. Wilker From Stratford, Ontario, came Mr. Er- lyn V1'ilker, an instructor in the Edge- wood Park Camp of the Canada Synod. One of the things about our camp that seemed unusual to Mr. VVilker was that so many of our pastors were counselors. At the Edgewood Park Camp there 15 only one pastor on the staff and he serves as the chaplain. One of the camp's great- est needs is trained instructors. Mr. Wil- ker was very much impressed by the Hill- side services and the beautiful landscape. Ile felt that Nawakwa's schedule was Well organized. p Rev. Berman M Pastor john E. Bermon of the Bethel LYlll1lC1'Z1ll Church of Pittsburgh was at lylawakwa during the Senior High Boys L:Zllll1J..I'IC IS a member of the Parish l?t1llC?lt1Ol1 Committee of the Pittsburgh Synod and will help with the organization of the new camp, Lutherlyn, of the Pitts- burgh Synod. Pastor Bermon liked the spirit of the camp and the cooperation of the faculty and counselors. He felt that the high spot of every day was the evening Hillside service. ' Rev. Conrad As usual the south was represented at Nawakwa and the first of these repre- sentatives was Rev. Leslie Conrad of St. T1mothy's Church in Hickory, N. C. He is a graduate of Lenoir Rhyne College and Southern Lutheran Theological Sem- mary. Pastor Conrad says, My three weeks here at Nawakwa have been twenty- one days of grand experiences! I marvel at the fullness and completeness of the camping program. The most interesting feature of the program to me is the 'In- terviewf Frankly, I think it is the high- light of my camping experiences, inter- viewing Senior campers. I think such in- terviews to be invaluable! The camp is excellent throughout- the leadership, the discipline, the pro- gram, especially Hillsideg and In must not leave out the 'victuals'-which are tops! One may be certain, I shall never for- get these three weeks at Nawakwa 1 Pastor Z umbrun From Jefferson, Md., came Rev. Morris G. Zumbrun, pastor of the Jefferson Lu- theran Church. He was accompanied by his wife and two small daughters, Linda and Martha. Pastor Zumbrun is a graduate of Get- tysburg College and Gettysburg Seminary. He was one of the busiest persons around the camp. Besides interviewing, being a counselor and faculty member, he found time to take walks about the camp with his daughters. Martha, aged nine months, was one of the most enthusiastic campers of the summer. Rev. Moyer Pastor V. A. Moyer, Ir., of the Mt. Jackson Lutheran Parish in Virginia ar- rived during the Senior Girls Camp and liked Nawakwa so much that he wrote immediately for his wife to come. She came several days later and served as a counselor.
