On Monday August 15, the
tour
girls had piled on the baggage wa-
gons. Only ten girls hiked to camp;
those were eight of group four- the
guardian and assistant guardian.
I'roi*. Hadsell hiked with us. we had
a nici hike for a beginning, we ar-
rived in camp about four p. m.
Monday after noon some of the
girls explored a bit of the hills about
camp. They came back telling the
itardian what wonderful girls they
were, in climbing the hills so much.
They were soon to learn that the ex-
ercise they had that afternoon was
no more than a "Before Breakfast"
exercise.
Tuesday morning about ten of the
girls started for Turner Falls, they
thought they knew the way, but
am in the Blue
Hole e arrived home by moon-light
this time also.
Sunday we were again on k. P.
duty. But we had dinner at the
Scouts camp, a very de icious dinner,
indeed!
Groug four hiked about fifteen
mile- on this day- wc l.ike I to the
boys camp. After dinner, an 1 s vam
afterwards. Two of our girls, who
could not hike, -went to oi,r camp
and served Sunday evening lunch.
The remainder went t . > a ranchman'.-,
home and ate water melon, we had
been invited the day before. \lter
the water melon feast we went to
the house, played the graphoiiola and
displayed some of our local talent, in
the form of .singing, reading and
stories. We were delightfully enter-
ting to train, bound for home. W e
are thankful to Messrs. Pickard, Klein
and Parham for taking \a> to the sta-
tion in their cars, because our feet
were rather sore, after all the hills
! and rocks.
A part of group four hiked seventy
! miles while in the mountains- 1 think
| about six of us did this. Several
| of us hiked more than litty miles,
j One ^irl only made thirty-six miles.
I and but two made less than thirty.
| that was due to disability to walk
on the part of the girls and not be-
cause tliey did not want to walk.
I sually we were in bed early and
up early. We hiked so much that
j night always found lis ready for rest
On Friday night we were invited
t<> attend a country square dance.
Several of the camp went. It was
tipically "countryficd" or "mountain-
tied." I think every girl enjoyed
the novelty, but will not want to go
to another one soon. However, this
country dance was a credit, to some
of our modern dancing, here in Nor-
man.
During all o! our hikes, Group
Four never once lost her "pep.' we
gave peppy yells at meal time, we
went to our bunks with pep, and
awakened with pep, we were the only

with us—at one o'clock we had found
nothing, we were indeed thirsty for
we had climbed and explored the
highest mountain in that region.
Finally we ran across a man .who
took us to a spring (we were only
three fourths of a mile from ill and
on to Turner Kails, we named this
spring Paradise Spring because we
were so thirsty, we all felt like we
imagine Jacob felt when he v,a go-
ing to the land of Canaan, and was
lost in the wilderness, tli-.i' we -aw
the famous Jacob's Ladder. \\ c
went 011 to Turner, bought out the

back to camp. We hiked between
fifteen and tweiiy miles that ''ay. Y\ e

This group of girls know each

During all our hikes and climbs
we had not a single accident, we
came home a> well as we went- ex-
cept for "chiuger," blistered feet,
and tan. We are already well of all
except the tan. One of our group
has taken the tousilitis since return-

in ; affected this or not.
I have written this history so that
the Norman citizens may know that

They can hike well a> boys. Be
it understood, that on all of these
hike-, the girls set their own pace at
walking and rested when tired. But
