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

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. .

' . h H clifeiiaiifcto fliiiiilz them for their ready response to the call for material, and sug- gest that the Upper School take a lesson from them. . I Original Narrative ,M.Ll- THE STILL ALARM V, Once there was a very brave fireman whose name was Jack Manly. He drove the hose-wagon. The horses' names were Ted and Dick. Jack- loved the two horses. A The alarm sounded. There's a fire some place. Hurry up, yelled Jack. They were off at full speed. ' The fire was at a factory, a large one, too. The flames were terrific. There were a few wagons there before Jack's. They were holding a big blanket out for the people to jump into. There was an old man in the factory who was afraid to jump. Jack ran up the stairs to get the old man. Just as he got up the stairs, they Went down. Jack made the old man jump from the window onto the blanket below 3 then Jack jumped. V A young girl called Jack over to heriand said, You were very brave to get the old man out of the factory. My father owns that factory. Jack at once fell in love with the young girl, and to tell the truth, she fell in love with Jack. J ack went to see her very often. One night while Jack was on guard, a man came in and asked Jack to tell him all about the fire alarm. Jack told him if anybody cut two certain wires they wouldn't know when a fire was on. Jack had to go away a moment to do something. The man cut the wires while Jack was gone. The girl Jack liked was home alone. The man that cut the wires ,set fire to the girl's house. When she saw the flames, she telephoned to the fire-house that Jack was in and to some other fire-houses. u Jack beat all the others to the fire. He jumped into tho hguge and took tho girl out of the house at the risk of his life. Then they were married and lived happily ever after.
