We do keep these in ow memories and know they have served a purpose in the growth and development of Mineral Wells and the High School. When Camp Wolters was first erected in 1941, this proved to be a great development and advantage to hometown people. After the war, the camp continued to be utilized, and today it is one of the outstanding helicopter bases in the Nation. The Youth Center was dreamed of long ago, but only last summer did it become a reality. A nice recrea- tion building was built in the north part oftowuand teett-agurs may go there for entettainment.
