CONFERENCE POINT CAMP
On Lake Geneva
Williams Bay, Wis.,
Aug. 23, 1926
Dear Friends :
Miss Sprain and I   are  "bunking
together in the Girls Dormitory. And
we are just across the hall from the
"Dorm Mother"; so naturally we have
to be fairly good, and always in on
time. But that isn't hard for us to
do after our experience at L. C. We
work together in the Camp Office, too,
checking in the different conferences
as they come, looking after their mail,
etc. But we work only half a day
or an evening; the remainder of the
day is our own, for boating, swimming,
hiking, or anything else we might
choose to do.
Monday night we had our annual
boat-ride. Of course we have others;
but this is an annual treat to the
Camp Family. It was the most beauti-
ful boat-ride I've ever had. As we
left the pier at about seven o'clock in
the evening, the tints on the surface
of the water were wonderful. Gray
and lavender, alternating in stripes,
reflected no doubt from the sky,-a
few pink clouds left just above the
horizon, after sunset. In the west
was a bank of angry-looking thunder
clouds, rolling their great white heads
along the horizon. We feared they
might disturb our peaceful evening ;
but they went south instead, and, as
we heard the next day, poured their
torrents on the smoky-looking  sky-
scrapers of Chicago.
Just about dusk, the light of the
moon was beginning to show through
the clouds that lingered, and before
long, the moon itself burst into full
view,- a disk of pure gold. The path
of light on the water grew longer and
wider, with little stars dancing on
the tips of the wavelets at its side,
until there was a great wide street
of gold; all the way from the boat to
the horizon. The gurgling of the wat-
er along the side of the boat only ad-
ded to the quietude.

Of course, we were not always quiet;

we sang songs most of the time, chief-
ly songs of praise, which naturally   I
came to our minds as we beheld the
beautiful scene. I have seen quite a
few beautiful moonlight nights; but
this one surpassed all description.
The sunsets, too,  are  wonderful,
here, with the domes of the Yerkes Os-
'servatory ristug majestically above
the sky-line. One cannot help but be
inspired to better things after a sum-
mer on Lake Geneva.
I'm sure the sights of Philadelphia
or New York will never come up to
this, tho' I'm looking forward to these
visits with a great deal of pleasure.
I hope that they will prove beneficial
too.
Sincerely yours,
Emma Frey,

The student council was organized

and Edna Hoffmann, and Messrs. Rob-
ert Schmidc, and Herman Engeling
plus the faculty members, Miss Mar-
garet Bracher and Prof. H. Sibberns.
THE SOCIETIES
On the evening of September 7,
1926 the students assembled in the au-
ditorium for the purpose of re-organ-
iging the English Literary Society and
German Verein. Prof. Weeber acted
as temporary chairman in both. The
officers elected for the English  So-
ciety are : Alvin Koehler, President ;
Louis Kramer, vice-president ; Her-
tha Ziehe, secretary ;, Mildred Lehr-
mann, asst. secretary ; Herman Engel-
ing, sergeant-at-arms. The  Program
committee is: Edna Bohls, Marie Gog-
olin, and Herman Engeling.
The officers for the German Verei

are: Robert Schmidt, president; Her-
man Engeling, vice-president; iHedwig
Langenberg,  secretary ;  and  Edna
Bohls, asst secretary. The program
committee is Miss Hertha Ziehe, Mr.
Louis Kramer and Mr. William Muel-
ler.
The number of inhabitants of the
girls dormitory has been increased to
sixteen-almost twice as many as last
year. The college truck   is  again
showing its immense usefulness.
Our janitor was painfully hurt in
cranking our little engine on the North
side. That thing seems to be as vi-
cious as one of our Texas hay burners
with  elongate  feelers, the  asinug
vulgaris. We are glad that no bones
were broken and the contusions soon
were healed up again.
Miss Ethel McNamara is now work-
ing for the U. S. Government at Le-
gion, Texas after taking her Civil Ser-
vice exams. She considers her work
a distinct promotion, compared to her
former stand.
Miss use Freienmuth has been ad-
ded to the office force of the Milling
and Power Co. and seems to have ac-
climated hers~if to work and sur-
rounding quite fast.
FOUND- A small gold ring with the
inscription A. to L. Inquire at office.
We are somewhat belated with this
issue. The readers will pardon. So
much has been crowding itself on a
brief space of time. Besides we tried
to bring facts and less fancies. And
facts during the summer months are
rather few and far beween like our
northers in summer time.
But a few days ago we were over
at Maxwell. A sad event had called
us there. We attended the funeral of
Mr. F. Wiede, who was drowned in a
well on his own land and whose death
brought deep grief upon the whole
community. The deceased has been
a quiet but sincere friend of the school
and has sent the majority of his child-
men. We extend our heartfelt sympa-
thy to the bereaved ones.
