No one ever knew when some of their rnisdeeds of the preceding week would be told. All those who had secrets sat and trembled for fearuthat some enterprising Scribe had found them out. Not even the counsellors escaped. All their private parties were Written up and broadcasted in detail. Those campers who had secret literary yearnings, Wrote them for the Ayaka so We had everything from beautiful poems to funny stories. VVe believe that the Ayaka enjoyed a successful season judging by the interest displayed. It was only through the wonderful cooperation of the campers and scribes that this was possible. YVhich goes to prove that by working together we are able to accomplish our goal. 66
