program that was assigned them
and have finished a most delight
ful two weeks of camping. Every
one has done his part and in the
future plan on doing more for
their community. Each boy has
learned to look out for himself
and his buddies. They have the
spirit as a group and function as

My two weeks with the*boyshas

Dear Diary:
The Boy Scouts at the summer
camp wish to thank all the people
who helped make this camping
trip possible. We have had a lot
of fun during our stay here and
have really enjoyed it. Today we
fished and in the evening we went
on a hike with our Scoutmaster.
The street signs are about fin
ished. They will be on Nome’s
streets in about a month. We have
had a nice cook and really liked
her. We have had good meals and
had plenty to eat. We have had a
good night’s sleep and wish again
to thank all the people who made
this camping trip possible.

Dear Diary:
At 8:30 this fine morning of
Thursday, August 2, we all rolled
out of bed at 8:30. We found that
Mr. Baker let us sleep over this
morning. A few who didn’t get up
at 8:30 were pulled out by the
rest.
This morning all we had to do
was wash our dishes and carry
water and a few other things. So
we had the rest of the morning
off. After lunch we went fishing.
Only six fish were caught. When
we returned we played baseball
and broke a bat. After supper we
played baseball again with sides,
and again a bat was broken, so
Mr. Baker told us to stop, so we
did, and that’s all for today.

“Do you like a brass band?” he
asked as they were listening to
the music in the park.
“Yes,” she said, “a brass band
is very nice, but I think I would
rather have a gold one.”
