And while the Gos-henites yet s-lept they removed 'the incense pot Cfryuing panj and left it at M-ount Sinai fCliffej. . 3. So there was a famine because of the evil done in the sight of no one. 4.

22 THE PASQUANEY ANNUAL down into the Hre and the warming plafce which c-onsisted of one small hole through which a p-late could be shoved w-ith 'the greatest difficult? To get the plate out without spill- ing half the contents or burning the fingerg was 21 physical impossibility. Therefore 'the oven was destroyed, much to the- dismay of its creat-ors. All the next day was spent lin pre- paring for the feast. Woeoicl was collected again, a n-ew and more practical oven was built, and every- body and everyth-ing was ready by five o'clock. At quarter to six the meal began. Creme dioini-on and soupe de potato started it off, fried Hamburger QGerman sty-le-D, French browned potatoes, and 'the most delicious corn and onions f-o-llowed. You can just bet I was hot and tired after cooking all this! Well, next came a mixture of choco-late and strawberry lice cream, aided and abetted by six dozen Ca-pe Cod cookies. We later adjourned to a campfire- and -t-he ever-presen-t coco-a and marshmallows. Statist-ics were voted as follows: Best Camper Tie, jack Ro-use and Fran Smith Most Cheerful jack Patterson Best Sleeper VValt Qunanimo-usj PFCVEB' Boy Tommy,' Hart Thus endeth the simple history of the camping party, and I, the hum- ble frying pan, return again to Nfemorial Hall to await another week of adventure next year.

And every living thing that moveth after its kind such as Ben Townsend., Hugh Chase, Andy Davis, Dan Howe, Brooke S'tod- dard, juni-or Watsoii, Han-d Dick Prouty. 3. And Belle Island was without form and void, and darkness was on the face of the earth Conly by nightl. 4. S-o 'they di-d efncamp upon- the island 'and pit-ch their tents. 5. And there was no- wood, so the children of B-elle 'did humble themselves and wore sack cl-oth and ashes, and did tear their hair. 6. But when they hunted upon the mainland, wood was found and 'they did cook, eat, and rejoice thereof. 7. And their counselllolrs sa-w it was goodg so- -the morning and eve- ning were of the first day.

CAMP HABTDE W.ITH ME VV'hat happened -on the memorable camping party led to Crerscent Beach by the Messrs. Waflter H. Lillfird, slr.. and VVhitner Bissell has for long been a mystery to al-l except those who had the honor of go-ing. The date of departure was Monday, July the eighth, a rather moirst -day. but nevertheless it wa-s clear enough by 1:30 for the parties to leave. Photograph by S. Roots THE SPARKLING MASS OF CELEBRITIES First, the name of the camp might be explained so that the innocent bystander be not misled. It de- volved from the title of a hymn well lI -iipll l Photograph by Henry Miller THE SITUATION WAS IDEAL kno-wn to us all, and especially to th-ose o-n the party as exc-eedingly close harmony was developed on it by Rhett Elliott and Tack Hard- wick. From ia naturalist's standpoint our situation was ide-a-I with t'he excep- tion of some dozen mosquitoes. Nature in all it-s grandeur sur- roun-de-d us and, excluding some of New Ham1p.shire's highest social lights who roamed along the beach, our privacy was c-omplet-e. From the viewpoint of 'a sports- in-an the -conditions were ideal for Wa'ter Basebaill and sports -of that ilk. On Tuesday afternoon our efforts on the watery dia-mond com- m-enced. Cliffe being the opponent o-ur task was n-o easy one. Hence our defeat, t'he score being but 2-O. was no reason for us to feel at all blue. T-hat evening we couldn't exactly rest on -our laurels, 'but we did the be-st we could and were even entertain-ed by an orchestra just across the inlet. --- A 4: 1.--I-' ..n....4........u-...Q-1.
