A WEEK AT CAMP WILKINS
1 d~n’t know just how to begin to
tell just how much a week at Camp
Wikilns means to girls and hoys. It
was a wonderful tripy, but I haven’t
words to tell what it meant to me.
But first T want to say that 1 am
glad 1 was one of the fortunate girls
’ft'om Crisp county to go this year. I
had never heen before and after our
Home Demonstration Agent told me
that T was to get one of the scholar
ships, 1 began to picture the kind of
I'ace 1 was going to and all about
everything else an eager minded girl
‘thinks ahout a trip like that.
Finally the moruning of Jjune 22
came. the day on which we were to
meet at the cowrthouse in Cordele fo
leave for Camp Wilkins. Usualy on
}Monda_v mornings, I am rather
sleepy, but when called on this par
ticular Monday morning. 1 hounced
out of the hed withoui a single
thought of heing sleepy, We met at
the courth-use but hadeto wait until
§ o‘clock on one or two of the .'-:iX'IS.“
We made the ftrip ip two Fords.
There were five girls in each car
which made a happy bunch. The
morning seemed rather warm, and
later in the day the temperature
kept rising, but we were all ¢o harpy
and the cars were running s good,
we hardly realized how hot it was.
T have lived in South Georgia
practically all my ife, and altho T
have beey back ‘to North Georgia
twice, it all looked different, The
hills were amazing to me. It seemed
that they were more imp-sing than
ever, and the rodness seemed d:u‘k-i
ening all the way. J
1 could not jmagine, and can’t yet,
how the people along the way l'v}t{
that they had the best part of tln:Ji
world. Ip some gections, the crops
were very ro-r, and in some pl-u-n.;!
plants were just coming up. it s(mnl-‘
ed hard to reaize that thejr S)))'ill,‘.&»‘i
were later thaw ours, It made me
realize more than ever what a good
county we have if we will just ge!
to work and make something out of
it. |
We reached Camp Wilking almurl
5:30. 1 couldn’t tell you just how
dusty we were, but that made all llwl
more fun for us. As soon as wnfi
parked the carsg, a negroy came to get |
the suitcases to take them upstairs,
We were met at the door by Miss
Colling, the lady in charge of the
camy and one whom we learned toi
love dearly. Then we went to the m'-l
fice where we registercd, and each |
of us was given a meal ticket, and '1
¢t number. Thep we went upstairs
and found the cots ('()l‘resp()mlinc'.‘
with our numbers.
This room was a wonderful sight
to me, It was a long room with {our
rows of cots all the way through
grouped together in twos, Bathrooms
‘were ocated at each end of this room
and in the basement,
i Supper was served at a certajn
time, and we had to hurry thru our
'prer-arntim.s upstairsg so that Wi
I\\" nld he ready when the whistle
' blew., OQur meals were gserved Cafe.
" YA¥ CORDELE DISPATCH -
teria style, and after gefting my
iti(‘-ket punched, I as amazed when 1
looked into the beautiful dining room:
Tables and chairs were polished to
the extent that they looked as
it.hough we were the first callers in
‘that place.
! I heartily enjoved my supper and
we gathered in the assembly room
immediately afterwards. Miss Lois P.
Dowdle, State Agent Girl's Club
Work, gave a short talk welcoming
the girls to Camp Wilkins. Then Miss
Collins, the manager of the camp,
gave some instructions aboui camp
life, and since we all sy tired out
from riding all day, they told us we
would retijre early.
We went to our cots, and T can
tell you that no one had to rock me
to sleep for the little cot felt so
comfortable and 1 was €o tired. We
were to get up the next morning
when the whistle hlew, hut some of
the girls were up and dressed when
that time came for fear they would
be late. We soon learned that we had
rlenty of time after the whistle hlew.
S 0 we waited for it,
Miss Frances Simpson was our Phy
sical Training teacher, so When thoe
next whiztle blew, we marched oi
side and had the setting-up exercises,
folowed hy a hike to the viver, or
juet anytling <he could think of {9
give us a walk and to get some goodl
anpetites, hut we didn’t need avve
thing fer our apretites, We alwars
cujoyed this part of the program, for
we loved “Miss Frances’ and she
seemed like one of the girls. We
were always glad t get back to the
camp, for our watches did not have
to tell us it was time for hreakfuct.
On Tuesday, the differ<nt groups
were divided into Indian tribes and
given a name. The girls from Crisp
and Turner counties were called
Oconis. T was elected ¢‘Big Chief"’
and the girls called me Poeahuntas,
My task was to look out for the lit
tle things that the girls might
neglect, and see that our tribe did its
best in housecleaning, to ses that
they were on time for classes.
On the first day, each girl was
given a notebook, and in it was the
daily) schedule that we were to tol.
low. Tt as so arranged that it was
not confusing abhout where we were
to go for the next classes, T wish 1
could tell you about our classes, Our
teachers were members of the
faculty of the College of Agricalture
and they just tried to sec how inter
esting they could make each elasg,
and how much they could tcaeh ns
each period, We had clozses in‘
Cemistry of Foodg, Study of Trm.\‘.l
Study of Shrubs, Plays and I:nnlr-s,l
and the Health (lasses conducted by
Miss Susan Matthews wore fine, Ky
ery bit of it was just {ine and T feel
like T learned a great deal, We fol.
lowed practically the samas schedule
each day, with some variationg nn
itlm afternoon. On Tuesday night af

Wednesday afternoon, Mrs. Burns i
gave a talk on health and T feel ;
that we were benefitted by it. After |
her talk, we went to Soule Tall :md:;
went ip swimming. You could tell wol
were a hapyy bunch by the merry
laughs, kicks and yells when we
ducked our heads in the pool. We
went back to camp after our swim,
dresseqd, had supper, and waiked t 9
the car line, We were met there by
two cars, and we «all rushed in fox
an interesting ride over town. This
car ride was arranged fo the purpose |
of showing the girls the main pl.’u‘nsi
of interest in Athens. Since Athens i.~‘;
a historvical town, this was a very in-l
teresting and enjoyable ride for all.
On Thursday afternoon, we \wn(l
over the college farm. Every hoy (nl-‘.ll
girl should =ee this farm. This w:w‘
one of the most interesting trips
that we made. This farm is a beau
ty and it is kept so weli, They said
it used to be washed away hillsides,
but. it looks like theyv will make some
money there this year. |':\'P]')'“lill'-‘,‘
