-'H Y 11 c C a ff? - A Letter from a Skipper Camp Seeley, Friday Afternoon. DEAR Lomssoms ROOMMATE: ' Snow, snow, snow! Oh-it's perfectly wonderful up here in God's Country. Right now we are all gathered around a big roaring fire here in the lodge. It is just grand! We can look out on three sides and see snow-covered mountains rising above us. It is the most enticing sight and spot imaginable. WVell, you wanted me to tell you all about it! We girls made a safe getaway, and fled to Dorothea's-safely awaiting the arrival of our beloved 'heroes. We were desperately wild when news reached us that two of them had been taken captives- and the rest had gone to the rescue. However, this little episode only contributed a little spice to the afternoon-and our high spirits and'good humor certainly were not to be daunted. We spent the loveliest afternoon at Dorothea's and oh, just ask the boys Qespeciallyj if those wai'Hes weren't the best ever! At last we were really on our way-on and on and on! Finally we arrived in a perfect fairyland of snow and pine trees and cabins. I think someone said it was just 2:30 A. M. Naturally the next scene was making the beds-and oh! if you could only have peeked in on us! It was a perfect scream. Mrs. Lamson simply made us howl-and hold our sides. We rather hated to spend such precious hours sleeping-but-well, you know how it is!! The breakfast this morning was just too wonderful. We could hardly believe our eyes when we went into the dining room and spied ham and eggs, breakfast food, coffee, chocolate, toast, and oh, what not. QWe didn't forget to give a yell, either, for Pop and Mrs. Hoyt., After breakfast we went for a hike! When we were sufficiently frozen and tired we returned to the lodge just in time for dinner. The dinner even beat the breakfast and you can imagine how we ate. We were as hungry as bears! Oh, time out-everyone is ready to go tobogganing so I must don fifty-'leven sweaters and a cap, and hurry! Late Saturday- The tobogganing 'neverthing was perfect yesterday and it was the biggest thrill! The last evening we sat in a great big semicircle around the fire. VVe had a clever program, popped corn, it was just ideal. Oh, I almost forgot something-the kids raided the kitchen last night about twelve o'clock. Pop discovered a pie pan in one of the boys' cabins. Looks bad, doesn't it! You should have seen us this morning during the thickest of our snowball fightg I don't know who got the worst of it-the fellows or the girls. Every one of the girls got at least several tumbles down the hill, not mentioning how many times our faces were washed. But the skip is nearly over! And now-there is one more choice flower added to our bouquet of memories of Senior days at L. A. P. C. -M. BEHNER. Page Sixty
