u O g THE FULL PACK ' I THE CAMP HOSTESS 4 One of the persons who put joy into the camp life was the official camp hostess, Mrs. John M. Topper. She was responsible for the dances given every Wednes- day and Saturday night, at which there were always two hundred of the fairest of Leavenworthls young ladies. The occasions were looked forward to with the greatest of enthusiasm and on the evenings of these dances it was a common sight to see the fellows trying to borrow clean shirts. Q , Mrs. Topper's attitude and .help could not have been more perfect than it was. .It was always a pleas- ure to her not only to care for the boys, but to meet their friends and relatives who came long distances to see them and she always made the visitors welcome. . But this was not half of it. One fleeting glance at the tent on a warm evening would find it crowded to capacity. In spite of the many writings desks and the various games in progress throughout the tent, many of the boys were dancing and wandering about, some l with writing materials in hand, looking in vain for a it c c corner in which to write home to their friends. MRS. JOHN M. 'r0,,,,ER, Hostess V' -4 THE CONIMUNITY ' C E N T E R The Community Center, better known as the Palace of Pleasure, was the city hangout for the boys when they hadfinished their day's work. This was made possible through the Rotary club of Leavenworth. Everything pos- sible was done to make them feel at home while they were there. Mrs. Van Tuyl was l the Hostess with Mrs. Searcy as her able as- . l sistant. Both were favorites with the boys and helped them spend their hours of recreation with much enjoyment. In the evenings, after the boys had finished their day'swork in camp and were allowed to go to town, the co- munity center was the first place they thought of. . KIVVANIS ENTERTAINERS ' ' ' The evenings of entertainment staged every Tuesday under auspic- es of the Kiwanis club were among the pleasures of the recreation pro- gram. Two of the young women danc- ers who starred in these programs were Miss Lucille Mahaffey and Miss Laura Taschetta both of Leav- enworth. Miss Mahaffey has been with Ziegfield's Follies, New York, dur- ing the past year and has been mak- T ing a hit since her entry in New York. l Miss Taschetta is still studying f in Leavenworth and promises tO Miss IVIAHAFFEY become 3 Stal'- COMMUNITY CENTER , 1 Miss LAURA TASCHETTA Pagz Eighty-fee YY I N l V ,I 1 y,v,v,y,v,w v v. .v-v.v.v- N. .v.v.v.v.v.v.vs.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.n
