GIRL SCOUT CAMP ENDS FINE SEASON Camp Sprague Girls Put on Weight During Summer The New Britain Girl Scout camp, | known as Camp Sprague, closed on Saturday with a successful season to | its credit. There was an average of | 37 girls a week for the six weeks of camp. Ten girls stayed the whole | six weeks and gained an average of 12 pounds a person. Five girls stayed three weeks, and eight girls stayed four weeks. In addition to the above for campers there were ten adults | including director, cook and coun-} sellors. Miss Gladys G. Cline, local Girl Scout director, was the camp director. Mrs. William Collins, who was in charge of the Faculty club in | Middletown for a couple of years and who will have the dining room | of the Commons club this fall was, | the cook. Two senior counsellors, who were with the camp in 1926, returned this | year with wonderful camp spirit and | full of new ideas. Th were Miss Mae Graf, graduate of New Haven school of gymnastics and Miss Irene | Koerber, Smith College student. The other counsellors were Miss Eliza- beth Sullivan, Miss Christine Holz | both of New Haven school of gym- nastics, Miss Dorothea Daly and Miss Marian Baucus from Smith College both with experience from Bennie Brae Camp in Massachusetts had chadge of the nature work and weaving blue printing, plaster casts and spatter work. Miss Esther Bryson was camp secretary and edited the camp newspaper. The first two weeks were planned for the younger girls and were crowded to capacity. Four over- night hikes were taken during the summer by the older girls. There {s a camp ruling that girls must be in camp nine nights and be in good physical condition before they can go on one of these prized expeditions. The tradition which was started last year of awarding green camp ties to girls who fufilled the six requirements was continued this year. Twenty-four girls received this | honor at the Friday night camp | fires. They were Marguerite Hul- bert, Dorothy Comstock, Hedwig ‘Rowinska, Nancy Hooker, Henrietta Peyser, Mary Randell, Edith Ray- mond, Margaret Miller, Constance Grant, Dorothy Tredenick, Barabar Jewett, Helen Hotchkiss, Pauline Gilette, Mary Savage, Doris Scherr, Jessie Randell, Catherine Long, Rhoda Wuensch, Barbara Branch, Mary Robertson, Cynthla Warren, Frances Butler, Betty Hewett and Louise Brastow. The highest honor to be won at Camp Sprague at the present time is an insignia with the camp let- ers “C. S.” and a secret “T.” These are won by girls who are in camp for several weeks or several sea- sons and work up to them. This ceremonial s only participated in by those who have won their let- ters and the counsellors. Last year three girls won, the letters and this year five girls won them. The five are Betty Weiant, Edith Raymond, Jennie Rubenstein, Henrietta Pey- ser, Florence Goobey. The requirements for earning these letters are as follows: 1. Must have earned a green tle. 2. Must show good camp spirit. 3. Must have seven additional nature claims to the one needed for green ties. 4. Must earn one land point: (a) show one completed article made in camp, (or b.) demonstrate efficiency in use of knife and hammer and axe; (or c.) show proficiency in a fleld sport, such as volley ball, base- ball, archery. 5.

Show health improve- ment. 7. Must do something for camp improvement. The last night of camp was chosen for a banquet and real housewarm- ing in the new recreational lodge. The members of the council, troop captains and members of the camp i figures | both in the decorations and in the favors. Bayberry candles were light- ed on the mantle piece, place was set with committee were invited along with old campers in former years. The rafters of the lodge were converted into a bower of greenery, and the bayberry which has been chosen for the camp emblem was in evidence and each an individual | tiny green candle. The menu cards with the programs were cut in the shape of a bayberry leaf. Little laster plaques with the sprig bayberry imprinted and painted | upon them with the caption “Camp Sprague, 1927" were given to each camper and guest as souvenirs. | Paper caps in green and white were | also made by the girls and placed at | each cover. 1 The program starled with the song 1927 at Camp Sprague.” Jes- | sie Randall gave a short speech of | welcome to the guests of the eve- ning. mp Knocks” were given | by Jennie Rubenstein and Edith | Raymond.
