They started this Thursday morning, by Fred Parker’s auto truck, and went to Norway, north of Monticello, where on the banks of the Tippecanoe they pitched their camp. The truck was overloaded with joy-i ous young Americans and bundles of blankets. Equipment for a two days’ stay was taken along —blankets, bathing suits and fishing tackles. Also food In the uncooked condition. Mr. Coleman is the official cook of the party, and he has the sympathy of every mother of those healthy lads who realizes more clearly than he does, perhaps, what It will take to feed forty lads of full appetite capacity, on an outing, where the average human will eat about twice what they would at home. As a chaperon, Mr. Coleman will no doubt prove entirely satisfactory, and he is about the only person on earth that could keep those lads in line and not get into trouble. There were forty in the party, some two or three having to remain at home. While Mr» Coleman will enjoy the outing, it’s safe to say that the boys will have the time of their young lives, and will look back on this event for years as one of the most pleasant episodes of their career.
