WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JULY 11, 1925 : BOYS RETURN FROM HAMLIN Councillor Tells of Their Big Time : By COUNCILLOR Lake Hamlin, Mich.--On June 22 thirty-one excited and heavily laden boys gathered at Community House before leaving for "Chief" Davies' Camp on Lake Hamlin, Ludington, Mich. A special car--special and pri- vate for safety and convenience of the other passengers -- conveyed the squirming mass under the leadership of three councillors, Dr. George F. Eisenbrand, Jack Hamilton, and Don Crawford, to Milwaukee where a boat was taken by storm and sailed across to Ludington. Arriving at Indian Hill camp the next morning, one of the boys was so anxious to go swimming that he fell into the lake, fully clothed, and for that misadventure had to run the gauntlet of sarcasm and witticism for the rest of the week. A typical day opens with reveille at 7 o'clock followed by setting-up exer- cises, a dip, and breakfast at 7:30. Tent inspection of very rigorous na- ture takes place at 9, after which a one-hour period is spent in receiving instruction on birds, flowers, knot ty- ing, signalling, tennis, and leadership. The whole camp then joins in working on the tennis court, bridge, or campus until lunch at noon. Swimming Big Event After a rest period until 2 o'clock, various events hold sway; a hike to Lake Michigan, a paddle to the sand dunes, Indian games, treasure hunt, or other contests are only a few of the possibilities. But one thing is always certain--that swimming will be held at 4, with canoeing and races of all kinds. During the first few days of camp two teams of equal ability are selected, the Tigers and the Wild Cats, who hold a baseball game every evening after supper until camp-fire time. It is at camp-fire that one finds a fitting en- joyment to close a busy day. It is here that all native talent is un- earthed, and after various "stunts" have been given, Chief tells one of his famous stories. .Mr. Barrett and Cabe_YVortley ar- rived at camp a few days late to com- plete the staff, w" 1 had its hands full controll tne activities of certain active campers. A long remembered and much discussed event is the "mid- night feast," indulged in by the whole camp--but at their own risk. Promptly at the stroke of 12, in the dead of night, silent forms and scurrying feet are observed by the watchful coun- cillors, who have sat up on the look- out for this momentous occasion. Then when the feast is well in progress, a sudden alarm is given as the staff sweeps down from the shadows and drives the miscreants back to their tents. Indeed such events cannot be forgotten--ask Bill Kurtz. Work for Long "Pull" But all work and all play have been directed to the end of conditioning oneself to the final test of making the trip up the river. It means a long paddle up and a hard pull all the way, yet once the goal is reached, it is {ound to be well worth the experience, and as for certain rumors that seem to have permeated the country-side that chief was building a concrete ten- nis court and that the boys were using it, of that report we can only say that it is true. The boys have been using it, but only for creating muscle and brawn as well as eccentrically dec- orating trousers, acquired in painting on the court lines. However, their >fforts were rewarded by having a well done job which they did use ind which future camps will find to be a great asset. Home Today Leaving camp this Saturday (July 11), the boys experienced a real shock on finding that their 18 days in the woods had gone so quickly, and al- though outwardly they have not hanged greatly, nevertheless, they have gained a broader conception of values, and comradeships have been made that are valuable, extending even from Pennsylvania to Taylorville. Of course, the girls, who leave Mon- day to go through the same experi- ences, will maintain that they have 'ven a better time than the boys, but such opinions being prejudiced, lose weight, and anyway, the boys can holler louder on any occasion, as any of the staff can testify. "Sacrament" Is Subject at Christian Science Church The lesson-sermon at the First Church of Christ, Scientist, on Sun day morning, July 12, will be "Sacra ment." Services are held in the Masonic temple at 708 Elm street at 11 o'clock, Sunday school convenes 'at 9:35 o'clock and the testimonial meeting is held on Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock. The reading roo... at 526 Linden street 1s onen daily except Sunday from woon until 5 o'clock and on We inesday evening from 9 to 9:30 o'clock.
