Pleas- ant started for Kamp Kallamuchee, which was located at Holland lake. Upon our arrival we started to prepare our camp for the week. We were chaperoned by Messrs. Handley, Orcutt, Jacquays, Father Narlock and Misses Murtha, McGuire and Campbell. Sunday being visitors' day many of the boys' parents and friends visited camp. After a chicken dinner with strawberry shortcake, tent inspection, boat rowing con- tests, and many other water sports were held. Harry Taylor's and Robert Maclntyre's tent received the banner for being the neatest and cleanest for the week. Wednesday was girl scouts' day and a large number visited us. After dinner we had a party in the mess hall following which we spent the rest of the day at water sports. That night a few of us took Russell Stinson and Richard Wood to an old haunted house where they were to remain over night. Due to the visit of Prof. Rasp- berry and many other night prowlers the boys got very little sleep. Thursday was Topsy Turvy day. The boys wore their clothes backwards and the dessert was served first at meal time and the regular dinner afterwards. That night we took a midnight hike in a large forest near camp and did not get back to camp until late in the morning. We packed up on Friday and arrived home in the afternoon. During the winter we had many interesting basket ball games. The games with St. Louis will be long remembered. St. Louis came here first and we defeated them. After the game the eighth grade girls gave a banquet in the Cafeteria for both teams. Songs which were led by the eighth grade girls made the time pass cheerily. A little later wb went to St. Louis to play. St. Louis played a much better game but we were able to defeat them again. After the game the Girl Scouts tendered us a banquet which was enjoyed by all. During the spring an interesting scout contest was held. The winning patrol, the Beavers, enjoyed a week-end camping trip at the lake. The members of the win- ning patrol were Harry Taylor, Earl DeMond, Louis Deeter, Robert Maclntyre, and Kenneth Wyman. The three highest in the contest, Charles Robinson, Harry Taylor, and Robert Maclntyre enjoyed a trip to Chicago to participate in the Rally of 10,000 scouts given in honor of Sir Robert S. Baden-Powell, Chief of the Boy Scouts of the- World and founder of the organization. Other prominent scout leaders at the Rally were Mr. Boyce, organizer of the Boy Scouts in America, Mr. West, Chief Executive of America. and Mr. Milton A. McRea, President of the Boy Scouts of America. Floyd Ferris. , Robert Maclntyre. Page One Hundred Eight
