WATER SPORTS AT BROSIUS fcontinuedj The competition in the w0men's events was not very keen, but it was spirited Thelma thought it was cute, especially the diving. Bona Pogue, 'our girl', tool the lion's share of honors for the afternoon, winning two events and placing in a third. Irene Schreiber was presented with a water lily for swimming to the float. Two girls successfully navigated to town and back: S. Peterson and H Kummerg R. Bachman swam to town. Evidently there was an attraction in town, for not many of the students swam back after reaching it. SUMMARIES OF EVENTS: SOPHOMORES 9 FRESHMEN 35 50 yd. Breast Stroke 1. S. Peterson QFrj 2. B.

Water Sports at Brosius The day dawned, as all days dog but unlike earlier days at camp, this day dawned bright, clear, and warm. This information tendered by Art Werder, he claims he was a witness to the phenomenon as he was in the act of doing his reg- ular training. Nevertheless, it was the day of the championship swimming meet. Before nightfall, the world would be informed, thru radio, newspaper, and tele- graph, of the outcomes of that all-important, momentous competition. The names of the individual champions would be on the lips of every red-blooded Americang they would be the talk of the nation-this from jack fknifej Nevins, tower diver extraordinary. Even before the echo of the first gun had died, Werder had been proclaimed victor in the short dash. Little did Knife Nevins think that before the passing of the afternoon, his protege, W. W., would be thrice more acclaimed a champion. Good old Harold Snyder plunged into those placid Waters with a vengeance, de- termined to halt the string of Sophomore victories, he did yeoman work to win the century free style event. Charges of professionalism were hurled at Klafs as he trickled in to win the distance swim. The claim was made that he used grease and speed oil, but it was overruled by the Sophomore judges.

l Summer Session, IQ3l Amid a great deal of confusion, due to the departure of the Normal College students and the juniors from the Turnfest, the Summer Session Students found their places in the new cabins. ln a short time, the camp began to assume a more quiet and settled atmosphere as acquaintances were renewed :ind new ones for med. The campus was fortunate to secure the services of Miss Fox for the Mod- ern German Dancing and Dr. Reitz for subjects in Psychology. In addition, the following members of our own faculty were present: Mr. Rinsch, Mrs. Hester, Dean Rath, and Mr. Heeschen. Very early the camp officers were elected which resulted in the election of Harry Dippold as president, and Vera Ulbrecht as treasurer. Committees were soon appointed and entertainments were planned with a great deal of gusto. The camp was divided into three groups each responsible for one night's entertainment. The lirst was a Stunt at jahn Hallg the second an Indian Camp fire, and the last an imitation of a New York Night Club. Needless to say that all these ahffairs were followed by a dance in Jahn Hall- often terminating in a Moonlight Bathing party to soothe the blistering feet. Other points of interest might be mentioned to refresh the memoryg such as the unique eight hole golf course, the terrific Basketball struggle between the Sons of Rest and the 'tNight Riders , the Hindu magic and hypnotism, trip to the Delta, limberger as a deoderant in the cabins, Man in the Alley and then to finish everything-the final Dinner dance in jahn Hall. Certain it was, that everyone there was sorry to see the last day, the last swim, the last look come when everything was so ideal. No doubt, many will return for another enjoyable and profitable session at Camp Brosius to see old friends again. Two years ago 31 members enrolled, last year 41, and this year 56, so you can easily see that the popularity is increasing. Now that the new cabins which are so much nicer than the old tents are there, Camp Brosius is certain to see a steady growth to success. Page One Hundred Six
