HOLD COUNCIL FIRE Thirty-six Camp Fire Girls Receive Ranking Symbols in Beautiful Cere- monial at Community House. by Observer In a Grand Council Fire, full of the beauty and symbolism of Camp Fire, thirty-six Camp Fire Girls received their rank Saturday evening, May 7 in Rudolph Matz hall, Community House.

Wortley, chairman, Winnetka Camp Fire Girls. A special award for the proportionate greatest number of honors won by any group during the year was given to the Wakantahi Group, Mrs. George Eisenbrand, Guardian. The members of the group are: Florence Burnham, Olive Eason, June Heyda, Dorothy Prouty, Annette Baumgarten, Emily Nell Simpson. The Frank Whitney award, which is given to the girl who has made un- usual progress and development in the things which stand for the home was won by Florence Burnham of the Wakantahi group. Dr. J. W. F. Dav- ies, chairman of the Camp Fire coun- cil made the presentation, and brought greetings from the council. This is the first time this honor has been awarded. Fire, from flint and steel, was made by Mildred Olsen. The lighted torches were carried by the Torch Bearers, Helen Hamilton, Dorothy Scharf and Hazel Knox. Lois Scharf and Ruth Matz served as escort to the leaders. The girls taking part in the candle lighting ceremony, so full of rich sym- bolism, were Janet Marshall, lighting the Work Candle; Florence Burnham, the Health Candle; Emily Simpson, the Candle. The Color Guards were Margaret French, Frances Koch, Helen Orvis. Around the Camp Fire in the center of the hall, the girls, led by Mrs. John Marshall, with Mrs. Arthur Dean at the piano, sang songs, and took part in the unique and beautiful ceremonial.

Although this ceremonial marks a peak in the Camp Fire year, it does not mean that the work for the sea- Love son is closed. Camp Fire Girls do things in the out-of-doors. The days will call them to further effort in camp craft, nature lore, hikes, athletic progress, games that quicken obser- vation, etc. Indeed, some phases of their work are only just begun.
