ewgeaxgsafecgijeagw SCARAB ealwecipsaeqygeagw SWIMMING Keen interest was taken in swimming at Wetomachek this year. lvlany girls while at camp mastered swimming. Ninetyfseven of the one hundred campers suc- ceeded in swimming the hundredfyard requirement. The Wiiiiiie tribe was one hundred percent in the hundred yarders. Five girls received the life saving certificate for examiners. Eighteen received their Senior life saving certificate. The swim' ming meet during the last week at camp was very attractive and picturesque. Rachel Kirschbaum, the Trudy of C. N. S. P. E., performed in great style by win' ning the diving contest. Many water stunts were given by the different tribes. The races were exciting because of the events being won by 'kdark horses. The Potties again proved the victors and won first place in the meet. Much credit is due Okepi and Miska and the councilors acting as judges. BQATING AND CANUEING Races, moonlight rides, stunts and carnivals took their places on thc boating and canoeing program. Competition was keen among the four tribes which did much in promoting the skill of the campers. Owakon, the master of many things, is ref sponsible for the wide interest in the water sports. Campers, one and all, enjoyed the different activities and showed the best brand of sportsmanship and fair play. The opening day of tournament week found the councilors, cottagers, and campers await' ing the entertainment of competition. The different events were run oif in fine style followed by the stunts which were a novelty to all. The Wiiiiiie entry receixed iirst place in canoeing, but was forced to yield first honors to the Sussies in boating. SINGING Sunday afternoons song festival with its excellent singing and directing was one of the interesting entertainments of camp. The judges must have had a hard time in deciding which tribe was the best. Ray Kirschbaum, a leader in other things as well as singing, directed the Pottie tribe and won first place.

emwmwmwws SCARAB emsewoewsewe HANDICRAPT Patient and even willing the campers started out to make their head bands. The Iries with the never die spirit succeeded in accomplishing this little task befor: the others. Portfolios, animals, fans, memory books and many other articles were made. The baskets next in line required the above- mentioned virtue. The many basket makers of the Pottie tribe claimed first honors in the handicraft department. NATURE First we identified the many tall and beautiful trees in and around our spacious camp. Then we heard about the flicker and her family who carried on during rest hour outside the Annex porch. Trying to convince the wrens that the switch boxes were not the proper places for dwellings, was another feat of the four nature classes. Nature boating in the swamps with Niwauna and Awakon was a new class introduced this year and proved interesting to both councilors and campers. The Sussies were successful in the tree identification test and won first honors. CAMPCRAFT Each tribe was responsible for the building of the Council fire on Sunday morning. This fire was built in accordance with the requirements of Awakon. Fires for cook' ing were of interest, as we were able to apply our knowledge on our overnight hikes. The making of the apparatus for the cooking fires and its uses was of interest to all the campers. We also learned the meaning of the different signal fires and wait for the time when we might interpret them. Page eighty-six NINETEEN TWENTY sEvEN
