ANN IV 3R S IR Y ? AR TY
The celebration in honor of the completion of two years for 1721 went over
in a big way sxc«pt for the sports program tnat had to be posponed due to the
wet diamond. Got being able to play the
soft ball game between the foresters and
tho loaders leaves us as much as evjr in
ftouot as to the rightful title holder.
Tne dinner was a regular uptown banquet with the menu including most everything that is good to eat.
The vaudeville program brought the
usual1 response that all entertainments
in camp ,ring.
"Dusty" and his Rythm Rogues from
Ely, furnished the music for the dance.
Over fifty girls from Ely came out and
ny 3 ocal opople attended.
The officers from sub-district and
the officers from nearby camps joined
the camp celebration luring the afternoon. All aim. mi were sent invitations
and many c erne br.ck. This party will go
a in camp history as a great success
and now we look forward to an ther great
lay next year when thve third anniverary
will be celebrated in a similiar way.
