vari aus ous members around the camp mr smith gave a story about how the donkey found his voice louise and genevieve shields with the I 1 aid of their club gave a skit en titled the human ford it was

smith el sie green dons doris patillo mary brande jay erickson don walters genevieve shields deloris lougy gosh that s all of them after the program we went down around the campfire to get warm arm and to have a melon bust then off to bed sleep tight everyone did we sleep tights well most everyone who was there will say yes but there are a few of us who will disagree those who will do the disagreeing were the ones who were sleeping in the open it be gan to sprinkle and so we had to move rapidly over to the shelter thereafter we slept inside just to be on the safe side oh dear that lady will be here at 00 and the clean camp corn com cittee will be around before long well we can t get anything done by sitting around so I 1 guess we had better get to work the camp was scrubbed and shined the food covered dishes too and then off to see the flag raised after that over to the shelter to find a nice convenient table to sit on and lis ten to miss joan frye from the spool cotton company in new a three day outing they return ed home thursday york she gave an interesting ta talk ik on the essentials of good groom ing and arid various finishing touches that we could put on our dresses and then showed us a number of accessories and things which we could mal e we were very pleased to have her come come with me to get the ball and bat and we IV IY get a game go ing so off we went in one dir action for the ball in another for the bat come on anyone who wants to play and the game started there were a few minor spills and it seemed like the per son on f base was continual I 1 getting knocked over because some one was in a hurry to get there there were spills between bases that resulted in someone getting put out but they were ere nothing serious and the game went on someone asked me who won well the last score I 1 remember was 16 to 23 and after that I 1 don dont t think anybody remembered to keep score besides we changed the teams too often while we were playing
