They were in charge of Misses Katharine and Gienore Williams. On Tuesday night, May 4th, we went to see The Cohens and The Kellys at the Pastime theater. The price of admission wus fifteen cents each for children. The money, over expenses, goes to the College Fund. The show which we attended was a very good one. My parents came here on Sunday, May 2, to visit me. 1 was glad to see them. 1 was surprised because they brought my grandmother here for the first time. Arthur Szablewski's mother came with them.

Unable to get baseball games with other schools, our boys choose teams among themselves and have hotly contested games of indoor-baseball.

Miss Saunders took Morris Erickson to Chippewa Falls, Saturday, May 8, where he met his folks. Morris has been very ill and has been compelled to discontinue school work.

May 27, Cluster White had his tonsils removed. He was very excited over it and continually asked the hoys what they did to make you go to sleep. It was one thing after another till the day arrived. He had the operation preformed at the hospital in Delavan. Mr. Bray took him down in his cur. When Mr. Bray returned shortly before noon, the first thing he said was: They had to give him a couple of barrels to get him under.” We all hope that he will have a quick recovery and will soon be with us again. Many of the children’s pnrents took advantage of the fine weather and motored here to spend the week-end. To name them all would fill a whole column.

Delavan, Wisconsin, hiked to an overnight camp on the Oberla farms, about four miles from Delavan. We took a large canvas tent in n smull, square, two-wheeled cart and each hoy carried two blankets apiece. Food enough for four meals and toilet articles were also taken. We left Saturday noon under the supervision of Scoutmaster Cameron and Scout-aid Schlosser. During the morning the weather was cloudy and windy with slight signs of rain, but it gradually cleared up at noon. Pushing the cart and carrying the poles, we arrived at our camp site in thirty-five minutes of brisk walking. Getting our tent up was quite u job but we finally succeeded. We hud our first meal over three fires. One was made with a steel rod resting on two pieces of wood. From this was suspended a kettle of water. Another fire was made from three poles tied together ut one end, spread over the firtf, with a coffee pot suspended frobi the top by u chain. The other fire was surrounded by stones on which rested a mash to cook und fry things. Out first meal was made up of bacon, coffee, bread and baked potatoes. Everybody enjoyed it even though part was burnt or blackened. The night was quite chilly and some of us gave up our blankets to others whilfc we laid around one of the Hre . We told stoHes, Jokes und what we thought of the trip so far. All of u were up long before the time for the sun to rise. In fact some of us slept not at all. Breakfast was a regular Christmas dinner for us. Bacon, egg. ., coffee and pancakes constituted our fare. Everybody cooked their own food except the eggs und all had to help themselves or starve. After breakfast we took the tent down which wus quite a job but done successfully. We packed everything up so as to be able to start at any time. When the work waa done several of us boys went into the woods and tried to take pictures of wild animals and birds. Two of the boys, who were out taking pictures, saw a car coming down the lane It was Mr. Pleasant and August Kastner coming to see how we had fared over night. It had started to rain slightly so we started our return journey as soon as our visitors had left. We made the State School in forty minutes and I believe everyone was thankful that we did, os all were very tired. -------- O ------- Johnny Medbury soys that Chinese money is the most sanitary, because it has a hole in the middle. The germs can't live on it; they fall through the hole und kill themselves. Another good feature about the hole is that the money gets lots of fresh air. Of course with three or four dollars worth of Chinese money in your pocket the draft would be so bad that you’d probably get pneumonia. You'd have to board the money up in the winter time to keep from catching cold. But anyway, poor people don’t have to worry about the microbes on the United States greenbacks; they can't keep the money in their hands long enough to become infected.
