This after- noon the annual reunion opens at Winnetka Community House at 4:30 o'clock. This year a larger number of the "pioneers" of the island will be present than at any former gathering. Dave DeLay, Tony Humphreys, Jim Kerr, Jim Fleming, Bill Hughes, John Jewell, Webbie Jackson, Bud Jewell, Bob Lakemacher and many others of the first camp will be on hand to tell the new youngsters of the good old days when camps were real camps. An innovation this year is the inviting of mothers and fathers to share the good times with the boys. The after- noon will start with games, stunts and initiations, after which Charles A. Kinney, known to the boys as the "Skipper" will tell them about a new type of boat built by himself and a oroup of boys down South this winter. The craft is a modification of the Eskimo Kyack, and is an ideal boat for cruising, being very light, easy to paddle, exceptionally seaworthy, and best of all from the boys' point of view, easily constructed, During the winter Mr. Kinney took a group of thirteen boys on a cruise in these boats. One of the craft will be on display at the reunion. It is planned that each boy at camp may make one for himself during the sum- mer. The camp dinner will be served at 6:30 o'clock, to be followed by camp songs and the camp movies. Rev. Henry S. Gatley, Episcopal rec- tor at Appleton, Wis., one of the camp staff, will act as toastmaster. Florence McGuire Sets April 28 for Wedding Miss Florence Louise McGuire, daughter of the J.
