THE SCARAB sit, ca, fig SWIMMING My! but it was cold and how we hated to leave our warm beds for morning dip, yet those first painful moments before the dip were worth enduring when one thinks of the glorious feeling afterwards. At least the Lodge thinks so. There were three classes of swimmers at camp: beginners, life-savers, and advanced swimmers. Before camp was over the beginners were no longer beginners but regular swimmers. Most of the girls in the life-saving class passed the examina- tion the last week of camp. But it was the advanced class that was looked at with awe as they dove into the deep water. The day of the swimming meet was clear and warm. The events were: diving, swimming for form, speed, and relays. The novelty race with the hands tied was the most exciting and interesting. The Iries, with Shem swimming for form and Mayer diving, came out victorious. RIDING Horseback riding at camp was looked forward to with much pleasure. With Mr. Faulkenburg as instructor, many pleasant trips were enjoyed by those who liked to ride. The beginners were kept in the ring for a few lessons, until they were used to the bumps, but soon they were able to enjoy the trips along the roads around XYetomachek. The last week was the horse show, it held much interest and was quite thrilling, especially the chair relay, a potato relay and the dashes. The individual score for horsemanship was won by jane Bigelow, an Irie. BOATING AND CANOEING Swim your hundred yards before you may enter a canoe. Thus we were informed at the beginning of our boating classes. The hours spent under Owakon's careful instruction were very enjoyable. She knew just how to put that paddle in the water and give it the proper twist, not to mention turning the canoe around. Never were there such enthusiastic paddlers ready to learn to paddle a canoe in true Owakon style. What thrills we experienced when we learned to stand on the gunwales and paddle! And, oh, what fun we had when it came to tipping our canoes! The thrill of thrills came when we were told we might take moonlight rides after lights out. Only those who enjoyed those rides know how impressive it was to glide along in the moonlit water. On July 3rd, the annual water carnival was held, with representatives from each tribe demonstrating form in paddling, bobbing, tipping, and other stunts. The second part of the program was the decoration of the canoes and boats, each tribe having one of each. It was difficult for the judges to award honors because all of the boats were so well done. The Irie boat won first place. It represented a Hawaiian Hut. The Winnie canoe, representing The Back Yard, took first for canoes. H21
