The occasion was the annual camp dinner of those who had been to "Chief" Davies' sum- mer camps at Lake Hamlin, Mich. Once each year at the holiday season this group gets together for a renewal of the friendships and associations which make this particular camp quite outstanding. Only those who have been to camp are eligible to come. Eighty-four young people were pres- ent. There were happy laughter, jokes and many a question as to "Do you remember when . . ." as these young people greeted each other. After a delicious dinner, interspersed with Camp songs, a unique program was given--packed full of fun and Camp "atmosphere." Slides of camp were shown by "Chief" of the camp- ers at work and play. This was fol- lowed by a motion picture film showing the girl campers in action. Dudley French, who was the guest of honor of the occasion, took the pictures last summer when in camp for a few days, and ran them off as a surprise to the campers. By means of them, once more they were transported back to the golden summer days, when there were hikes over the Lake Michigan sand-dunes with races from the top: trips in the big war canoes; water sports; and camp activities that delight the hearts of youngsters. Following this a clever stunt was put on by the men counselors suggest- ing old-time minstrels, with songs and dances and jokes which had many a happy suggestion of camp days in it. Arthur Barrett, George Eisenbrand, David and John Lasier and Donald Crawford took part in this and won hearty applause. A group of girls gave some of the stunts with which they had delighted the campers on summer evenings around the camp fire. Their take-off of Shakespearean drama was especially enjoyed. Emma Rummler, Sylvia Boynton, Janet Marshall, Elizabeth Boldenweck, Nancy Brown, Virginia Dunlap, Marjorie McLaren and June Heyda took part in this. Much interest was shown in the excerpts from the camp "Log" given by the counselors Don Crawford, for the boys, and Doris Ferry, for the girls. The peak of the evening was the talk by "Chief" Davies, given much as he gives it each summer night around the camp fire. After reading a letter from one of the old campers, Sheldon Gordon, who is in Costa Rica, "Chief" spoke of the lighthouse which the campers built last summer on the shores of Lake Hamlin and brought out that it was somewhat typical of our lives--a strong foundation needed, care in its building, uplift and height to reach up towards usefulness and completeness, and, finally, a light to crown all--to give service and to show the way to others. After the singing of "Taps," as in camp, and a cheery "Good night" from "Chief," the boys and girls reluctantly left what they termed "the best camp reunion ever." Many are planning to go to camp again this coming summer. As usual there will be an eighteen-day camp for the boys, from June 18 to Julv 6; and for the girls from July 9 to July 27. These camps are limited in num- her and reservations are already be- ing made, so that there may be no disappointments later by having to be put on the waiting list.
