THE POTTER SHIELD THE FRONT YARD The Camp Oflicially it is true that there is no connection between the Potter School for Boys and El Campo-Lagunita, but in setting aside a little of the SHIELD space for camp doings, the always-right editor has simply taken into account the interest shown by the boys of the school from the time When Mr. Anderson and Mr. Duff established the camp in 1914 down to the last official order of Mr. Goodwin ' T' M ' ' s'-fss:2'::--- f ' SV''sf::?as2Q pil,-if.-W'..:.s:.S.':2.:' 7 7 Y. .

Now I wonder if the culprit is in there doctoring my cup. He got up from the platform, re-entered the main room, and phoned the Police Department for some men. While awaiting their arrival he mounted guard over the laboratory door. In a very short time the expected squad had joined him and he opened the door. Inside the fatal room were a dozen boys, all bending over the famous cup. On examining his treasure, Mr. Potter found that every 1920 engraved on it had been changed to a 1919. The policemen took charge of the first class, and removed them from the building. A few moments later, Mr. George Sabine Potter was sitting down in the big chair in his comfortable office again. Suddenly everything in the room seemed to change. The news-ticker with its buttons vanished, and, looking around, Mr. Potter saw that he was in the old oflice at 1827 Pacific Avenue. I thought something like this would happen, said he, my imagination is too vivid. Still, knowing that, I should not have read that wonderful story in the last SHIELD, called 'The Silver Cup'. R. L.

And now that a return to the good old days is promised for 1919, some of the boys are beginning to think of various events and happenings in past camp seasons. Sometimes, when Snap out of it! is not too much in evidence in the locker room, or at recess, someone gets started on Do you remember? -The annual trip around the lake in the speedy craft Eugene! What Nick said that time when-! Those too-wise fish in -1 that dash madly up to the bait, and then contemptuously flip their tails at the breathless angler! The hikes,-expecially one eventful one to Velma Lakes, on which a now internationally famous alumnus was persuaded to carry along several huge rocks as ballast, and by lightening his load from time to time make the long road one of gladness and renewed vigor! The fish-box that couldn't be bailed out, even by G-! The record-breaking one that Stevie landed! The snipe hunts, the time when Jack Sutton was left mercilessly exposed to the night winds on Graves' pier, only to turn up all serene in Salterls ice cream parlor, laughing at the rescue party that finally grew tender-hearted and went out to search for him. Wild, intoxicating pelican hunts over the storm-tossed surface of Emerald Bay! Swimming and diving! Twilight athletic meets and Olympic contests when rocks and trees were bases and cots turned sideways hurdles! In- doorv baseball! The exemplary patience of the Chinese fisherman Ah Moon, who baited his hooks with infinite patience, explaining with true Oriental cunning that when fish see 'em, no bite 'em ! The development of the nautical eye, which recognizes any craft on the lake as far as it can be seen, and the annual wheeze, Why, they've got the Glenbrook running to-day! Exciting motor-boat races on the Fourth! ditto ball games! No, it wasn't a camp boy who started out in the Evinrude race in reverse! And so on, and so on. The war is over 5 let's hope that the good. old days are due for a real come-back at El Campo-Lagunita, Emerald Bay, Lake Tahoe, California. : 5 g ,1.,v r .qfe!.3w x f' fr Y THE NIORNING PLUNGE F orty-Jive
