Two Camp Fire Groups Meet Thursday The Opeechee Camp Fire group met Thursday, Feb. 23, in the Scout : cabin. Mrs. Jean Rogers, guardian,’ had asked the Tan-Wapo-Ka group i who are one year ahead in their Camp Fire work) to appear before her group and tell and illustrate some of their past experiences and to inform the Opeechee group what sort of requirements they will need to perform during this present year in order to go forward in the work and fun laid out in the Camp Fire schedule. The members of Mrs. Rogers’ group are Patty Powers, Treca Ummel, Susan Connolly,’, Rhonda Bell, Robin Dust, Cathie Butler, Cathie Walley, Cindy Minery, Mindy Rogers, Elizabeth Ludwig, Debby Hostetler, Sue Ellen Mabie, Sandra Maggart and Vaunda Tndd. Those from the Tan-Wapo-Ka group attending were Patty Brown, April Hapner, Janice 'Nichols, Gail Benson, Yvonne Spurting, Laura Snyder, Denise Hostetler, Loree Snyder, Dixie Darr and Trudy Shively. These girls acted out in a puppet play, the principal acitivities they had participated in during the past year. Trudy Shively was the moderator; Janice Nichols, Laura Snyder and Gail Benson acted as the manipulators and the remainder of the girls pretended that they were puppets and moved in unsion as the manipulators, who were stationed above the human puppets, pulled the “strings” to move the puppets into positions describing the actions indicated by the moderator. Some of the projects described were trips to various local business places, with sounds to make each trip even more recognizable: hikes; tree planting; meals eaten; poster drawing and many more. At the end of the puppet show, the Tan-Wapo-Ka group sang a fun song they had learned at the camp in Michigan which they had attended, for one week last summer. It proved to be so much fun that they thought perhaps the small girls would also like to join them in the singing of the song through the second time. This met with full participation and much giggling and sound effects from all. A portion of the program had been set aside for a question and answer period which Mrs. Nichols, her assistant, Mrs. Donna Hostetler and the sponsor, Mrs. William Darr, thought would probably only take a few minutes but which actually ran into almost an hour. The questions asked by the Opeechee group were mostly pertaining to what they must do to receive the most benefit from Camp Fire and I what Camp Fire workers can do to I provide for them the best possible I leadership for girls their age. Some i of the questions asked by the OpeeI chee group were so well thought out I that it kept the older girls in the I Tan-Wapo-Ka group hopping to i give answers that satisfied the inquisitive and grown-up questions put to them by the members of the Opeechee group.
