BOYS RETURN TODAY FROM CHIEF'S CAMP Observer Gives Graphic Descrip- tion of Day's Activities at Indian Hill Camp BY D. C. Remember our blue Lake Hamlin Where each year we come to stay; How quickly the days fly by us As together we work and play: Remember the friendships made here Are those so staunch and true; So, here now, around our camp fire Indian Hill, we'll sing to you. Reluctantly, if it were not for home, some twenty-five campers return today from Chief Davies' camp in the Michi- gan woods. After eighteen days spent working and playing in the open in common fellowship, these boys have many stories to relate -- overnight hikes, midnight feasts, Chief's stories around the campfire, and a fifteen mile paddle up the Sable river and back, only to mention a few. All of them are hardened by mornings of construc- tive work, and tanned by days spent in the sun and wind and water. One of the fellows put on nine pounds in ten days. Traditional Initiation It is a tradition at Indian Hill camp to initiate on the second day those for whom it is their first year. Some of the pranks played on the newcom- ers by the old campers often take peculiar bents. Of course, all the green campers must, on this day, wear their clothes not only backwards, but inside out, and each carries a raw egg in his pocket. Needless to say, as the day wanes, they often become unap- nroachable. Throughout the day, one walking about camp would see indi- viduals bowing their heads to the ground a number of times to the ~ount and amusement of the "old "mers." He would notice bovs dash- ing about on errands. One fellow, for example, was sent to find the keys to the flagpole. He must have spent the whole morning at it. Others were 'ent after two-handled shovels and four-post yard sticks. The amusing thing about it all was that such things were taken in all seriousness.
