To all campers, patrons, -- lovers

of Eberhart who have in the past so

generously contributed and are still

contributing to the equipment, the

tradition, and the spirit of our camp;

do we with heartfelt thanks dedicate

the camp paper of 1936.

Mary June MontgomeryEditor-in-Chief

The camp season of 1936 has indeed been a happy one, bring-ing together campers of other years and a large number of newones. The sunny days lived together have filled us with thejoy of achievement, of creative experionce, of friendships, andwith visions of future summers at Eberhart.

"Today whatever m~ aunoy,Themword for me is joy~ just simple joy.The joy of life;The joy of bright blue skiesThe joy of rain; the glad surpriseOf twinkling stars that shine at night.The joy o£ ~inged things upon their flight,The joy of sir, and lake and earth --Today whatever may annoyThe word for me is joy,Just simple joy."

Aud may this joy carry us forward with happy memoriesthrough t~e year till we meet ags~n at Eberharto

We ~certai~ly are glad that we will have quite as dif-

ficult a time getting cement in our shoes as we did trying

to get our initials into the wet cement. My attempts to.

become subject to the phrase, - "Fools’ names like fools’

face~, etc.," by drawing my finger in specific directions

in that dime’ s worth of cement I bought vJere numberless.

Through the years the Eberhart boys have carried out

projects for camp equipment~ so this year the girls and

their parents contributed the material for sidewalks to be

built on Tent Street and beside Coop’s cabin.

The girls wish to express their gratitude to Mr,

Cooper and the boys * for their generosity and coopera-

tion in so ably laying out the walks.

¯ Ann Chapman and Wilma Thomas assisted them with sev-

eral shovelfuls.

By Mary June Montgomery

From the sound of the laughter issuing from Dave’ s Houseat Junior Campfires, we gather things are quite a success. Onenight it was the marshmallow roast on the porch. The littlegirls seemed very happy mad expressed their ~.remaining pep withsongs and stories after the roast.

Another night, June 25th, they had. a weiner roast ~crossthe lake. They rowed across Little Corey. The boating in-structors thought this was a good incentive for them to taketheir rowing tests. They had a grand time and hope to do some-thing of that sort again next year.

The rest of the nights were taken up ~ith singing, gamesand stories. Quite good stories, too.

Little Miss Muffet was their most outstanding feat. Theygave it once for Senior Campfire and once for Sunday afternoon.It received a lot of applause both times, for it was well actedand well produced by. our littlest girls. Katherine Geyer madea realistic Dame Dobb, and Eleanor Wolfberg, Virginia Dodge, ,Jane Levy, Helen Breed, Eileen Welber ~nd Elsie Keglovitch werecertainly lifelike little spiders. The part of Creeper Crawlerwas ti-ken by the versatile Janet Wondries and Virginia Dodge.~Peggy Morton played the pa rt of Little Miss Muffet, and Jackand Jill were played .by Betty Welber and Patty Hahn respectively.And by the ~ay, they not only elected their own cast and chosetheir own play, but also used their o~m words for the differentparts.

Many interesting campfires have been given this year by the girls.The first was in charge of Cabin IX. Each person in the cabin did astunt. ~

A very amusing Mock Trial was given by Cabin X. Their secondone was a costume party. Cabin VII gave an original play in rhymecalled "Harold Comes Throu~]," by ~vlary June Montgomery. Then CabinVI entertained us with a scavanger hunt and a marshmallow roast whilethe program was supplied by the Dramatic Club, a play called "TheFive Ghosts." A Major Bowes program was given by Cabin XVI. A melo-drama in pantomime was the very amusing program of Cabin XVI. ThenCabin VIII gave a circus. There was a fat lady, a lion, and many.other interesting things.

INITIATION DAY

Wednesday, June 17th the Hezikiah knife was found by EdnaJean Elliott. The following day was initiation day. The new camp-ers off Tent Street and wear green ~hair ribbons. At meal time newcampers went up the hill on all fours. Mrs. Pass gallopped around.Miss Caress gave us a very serious dance. Miss Allen gave theVirginia Reel with an invisible partner. Miss Britton sang "TheMan on the Flying Trapeze" and many other amusing things were done.In the evening new campers were blind folded and led by old campersto the mistic circle and back to Dave’ s House. Candles were givento each camper. The old campers lit the candles of the new campersand v~ sang "Follow the Gleam." Later we all went into Dave’sHouse where "Coop" told us legends about Camp .~berhart. Jane Oben-chain was in charge of initiation.

"Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," was the older girls vehicle

to stardom. It was cleverly pantomimed by a capable if somewhat a-

mused cast. The part of beautiful Princess Snow ~ite with her

flo~wlng tresses wes taken ~by Janice Jackson, Mary June Montgomery

was the haughty and vain Queen Brangamar, and the dashing young

prince was -- you guessed it -- Jane Obenchain. Carl the Huntsman

was humorously but well portrayed by Ann Chapman.

Sncw White’ s companions were Arbutus and Daffodil roles taken

by Ruth Epler and Beth Carton and Betty Henry and Bonita Ann Guthzie

were the Prince’ s men.

We must not forget the seven dwarfs -- that would be a crime.

They were Virginia Hyde, Joan Hodson, Jean Levy, Betsy Shaw, Joan

Christoff, Mary Ellen McCrawley, and Marilyn Bouyer. Joan Christoff ¯

was Max, and Betsy Shaw was Hans. The play was well directed by Miss

Britton, v~o also read the story as the girls acted it. The efforts

of every one connected with the play were greatly appreciated and

highly applauded by the spectators.

RIFLERY

I don’ t kn~ow how to start this out, but the editor-in-chief said to~do it with a "bang" - coops ~ that was’Mary June Montgomery shoot-ing more points in her eighth bar towards expert rifleman. Mary June leads thecamp in gaining riflery honors - that gal shoots a wicked rifle.

Other girls winning pro-marksman are: Patsy ~lynn, Joan Gard-ner, Mary Gardner, Phoebe Little, Phyllis Smith, Margery Welber, and SuzanneWirt. Mary Gardner, Margery Welber and Suzanne Nirt also won their m~ksmanfirst class. Charlotte Ann Fegan is working on the fifth bar towards ExpertRifleman.

John Foy was again our instructor in the art~.pf riflery.

HANDICRAFT

"Two fortywfive and there goes the bugle,. Are you goingto handicraft Mary Jane?" This is what any visitor would hear should he be walk-ing through in the middle of camp. The girls working in "Ye Old Crafts Shoppe"are making everything from leather brccelets to metal flower bowls. "Did yousay you wondered what they made in ~between the leather bracelets and the me~slflower bowls?" Oh, all sorts of things like napkin rings, foot stools, book-ends,leather belts, leather bill folds, keytainers, and leather lariats. Miss Bradykeeps the shop open from a half hour to an hour longer, just because she enjoysher work so much. "Mel" is an ideal craft director. "O.K. kids, put the paintin. I’ve stayed an hour later than usual already."

Archery, the art for which the Indiaria~ were noted, is muchmore difficult than the average person thin~s. One must havea steady hand and a good position. ¯ Many a sore arm and fingerare the results of trying for these points° A few are workingon their medals. They hope to. receive either the bronze, silver,.or gold ones. The tournament took place this week.

The mostfaithful archers include the following:

Helen Vosb~trghJanice JacksonVirginia SammitGeorgiana SikesMartha Murphy
