Cut Knife Grinder, August 8, 1924Girls Camp a Big Success
The fifty girls who attended the 2nd girl's community camp at Atton's Lake last week returned home satisfied with the week's outing.
The camp was divided into four groups - Happy Lot, Black Watch, Beacon Light and Live Wires. Black Watch won highest aggregate marks given for baseball tournament, morning watch attendance, tent tidiness and campfire program. The other groups did well however and for the short time in camp and the inclement weather, the girls responded well to the program of organization.
The six lady leaders are to be congratulated upon their success in managing such a large camp and are entitled to the gratitude of the parents and community for their work.
