Y.M.C.A. BOYS CAMP
BEGINS ON JUNE 11
Been Some Confusion About
Date. Bob Sherman and
Arthur Herbert De Vaughn
Assistants.
A week from today and the boys of
the Augusta Y. M. C. A. will be off on
their annual summer camp. This year,
under the care of Mr. Dan. G. Hal
ford, boys’ work secretary of the As
sociation, and his assistants, they will
return to Flat Rock, near Granitevllle,
S. C., for a stay of two weeks.
There has seemed to be some mis
understanding in the date of the camp.
Mr. Halford announced today, official
ly, that the camp will be held from
June 22 till July 4th, Inclusive. The
boys will leave the city with all their
camp paraphernalia on next Monday,
which is the 22nd.
Some twenty or twenty-five boys
have already signed applications to
go on the camp. As It stands now Mr.
Halford will carry along as his as
sistants Mr. Bob Sherman, who is
home from the University of Penn
sylvania for the summer, and Arthur
Herbert DeVaughn. naming them first
and second lieutenants, respectively.
Mr. Halford states that in case more
than thirty boys are taken he will ap
point another assistant, as It Is his in
tention to have at least one leader to
every ten boys.
A fact that stands out remarkably
In favor of the Y. M. C. A. boys'
camp is that Mr. Halford’s camp his
tory is perfi'Ct. He is very precau
tions and believes at all times to do
the safe thing and run no risks. With
him there is no novelty about taking
chances, and while strict with the
hoys, there is not a fellow who has
ever been on a camp under Mr. Hal
ford who can say that he has not en
joyed himself to the utmost all the
time.
