Dis- covers it to be the greatest camp honor, a society of the elect, whose name stands for the best in Character, Athletics, Camper. Determines then to work hard for third star. One week later. Scene is at ratings in Social Hall. Camper sits with bated breath. Hears her third star read. Is thrilled to her toes. Hastily reviews her sins. Promises herself that she will be more prompt to activi- ties, that she will be more helpful in the bunk. Monday evening. One week later. Scene is campfire. The sun has just set. The pines are fragrant in the Grove, the water gently laps the shore, the flames crackle. Mr. Chankin, after many moments of almost unbearable suspense, leads our camper toward the fire-a new Gagger. Softly GAG greets her with Gamma Alpha Gamma Girls. Her camp- mates shower her with congratulations. Her eyes till with tears, and she silently vows she will ever be worthy of GAG. 32

gag Outing Seem' Smut Come along this evening with your Hollywood reporter as he takes you to a scene of the 'Stars' at play. XVe travel down Pinegrove Boulevard until we reach Campfire Circle. Here all the famous celebrities of the Rondack Studios have gathered for their midsummer beach party. Up above. the mere celestial stars shine brightly, and just as the more earthly 'Stars' are lighting their camptire, the moon slowly edges over the top of Grasshopper Hill. liven Henry of the XN'aldorf could not have prepared a more suitable or delicious repast. No wonder our 'Stars' descend from their 'dignityf Frank- furters in one hand. punch in the other, and tomatoes and potato chips in front: all of which they eat simultaneously tin a noble attempt. at any ratel. 'I'hose famous 'eighteen-day-diets' and dieters seem to have disappeared. for when cheese and crackers, brownies and marslmiallows come on, they barely pause for breath, and every drop of food is tinished. Now the spirit of the 'Stars' radiates in a medley of friendly songs. As both song and fire die down, and quiet conversation replaces them, that select' group feels in this sentimental moment more closely bound than ever by the high ideals of GAG. Softly they sing that fond familiar strain, 'Gamma Alpha Gamma Girls' and now as they return to their 'suburban cabinsf we bid them a pleasant' good-night. with one lingering sympathetic glance at those heavenly bodies that twinkle down on our own illustrious 'stars.' 34
