Show r THE 08 SUMMER TRIP y From the notes of H. H C. C Eureka they cried and Eureka it was not only Eureka the mining camp but Eureka the word with every every every ev ev- ery good thing suggested To Eureka Eureka Eureka Eu Eu- reka the Juniors journeyed last summer summer sum sum- mer r to spend about five weeks in surveying and it is is to Eureka their thoughts will ever turn possibly because of f the surveying learned there but assuredly bec because luse of the good jolly times spent at their Camp Maples and in the buildings of the historic old mining camp And their thoughts not linger on the splendid pa past t of the camp but upon the glorious times spent there during June 1907 In this course as no other the students are brought closer to the realm of the practical up to the thedoor thedoor thedoor door where the dollars and cents look in up to the point where it is i but a step hardly a step tep from the d. d knowle knowledge ge learned in school to thc point where it can be applied to the financial l advantage of the holder r With this fact fad ever before them r. r an excellent instructor a bunch care free because of the hard grind which had just been completed ed d and realizing that they had succeeded succeeded suc suc- j as no other class in helping helping helping help help- ing their college in the things they theys s had had done the juniors made their preparations To them the trip was to combine the vac vacation tion and the t school day and how well they succeeded succeeded succeeded suc suc- in doing this can best be bt determined by examining the arch arch- rf i f ives of the University if Colonel Andrews has turned those excellent excellent excellent excel excel- lent marks in and by perusing the story of the camp life as as told in inthe inthe inthe the following pages There is little use to bore the reader read read- er with the details of the course in d summer surveying every engineer j ought to know what it is and those who do not wouldn't care or appreciate appreciate appreciate ap ap- it if they were told Hence we turn to the social side of camp life at Camp Maples because because because be be- cause it is unique and characteristic of those thos w who h spent pent their time there Unlike other stories this one will not read that Frank Deming and W. W E. E Sutton were selected to act as chief engineer and commissary as s a formality because stern necessity necessity necessity 1 sity demands demand's that some one like the commissary be on hand to feed the i children and look after supplies in ina i ia t i ta a business like manner ner The low cost of the trip points c conclusively that the commissary knew his business business business busi busi- ness and the extra detail paper and tracing cloth doth also indicates that the chief knew how to limit the supply supply supply sup sup- ply of drafting materials E Eureka reka was selected as the place for the field work because Mike Miln Downey assured the fellows that there were lots of f pretty girls in the camp and plenty of interesting places were field work might be done clone The university furnished Dr Talmage Professor and Mr A.
