Page Twenty May 4, 1849 Our camp-fire last night felt good .after a hammer-and-tongs thun- derstorm that struck us a mile or two from camp. Dozens of outfits were scattered along the creek, and we all pooled forces and made a fire worth remembering. May 13-Captain Meeks says, Write this down in your hat in big letters. We must help our full share. Otherwise we'll have a gruesome feeling of going forward over the dead bodies of fellow men. Lend a hand. May 27-29-While our leaders carry out a semblance of a military guard, its real purpose is to keep skulking thieves from getting to our mules and horses. It's not the high mountains ner great rivers ner hostile Injunsf' says Meek, that'll give us most grief. It's the long grind o' doin' every day's work regler an' no let-up fer nobody ner nothin'. Driving their wagons into circles on short notice, and fighting off Indian attacks did become grueling, but how about those campfire songs? So do we Forty-Niners get tired of every day's regler work and so we lend a hand in combining the daily work and the extra- curricular joys. It's only a matter of pooling forces to fend off boredom and monotony. By the way, did you lend a hand in Band, Glee Club, Commercial Club, Red Cross, or Sports? How was your coordination in G. A. A.? Did you join the Home Ec Club, Speech Club or Rifle Club? Did you go on the Phi-Chem trip? Did you sell magazines? Were you in a play? Were you a Booster?
