We reached' the lake and hour
or so before noon, unloaded and
got ready to eat. There were
three negro cooks to prepare our
meals. The head cook sure knew
what he was doing. He made the
biggest pies I ever saw. They
served us iced tea, roast, fresh
fish, beans, potatoes, meat loaf
and all kinds of good things to eat
while at camp.
It rained Thursday evening. A
cabin was rented for our group
and we spent the night there to
keep from getting wet. However,
it stopped raining before night.
While at camp we played horse-
shoes, pitched washers and some
of the boys boxed. Many of the
boys went motor boat riding with
a man called “Baldy.” Also for
entertainment the National Rifle
Association of American furnished
rifles and ammunition for the
boys to shoot at targets. Earl
Bates, a Cottle county boy, won
first place and won a gold medal.
We also had plenty of swimming.
Mr. Potts brought a picture
show that we all enjoyed very
much. We had several lectures and
demonstrations that were both in-
teresting and educational. On our
way home we stopped in both
Quanah and1 Childress. We were a
little bit sunburned, tired and
dirty. We had a grand trip and
made many new friends. I, as
well as many others, am looking
forward to next year’s encamp-
ment. '
