The largest delegation of the camporee—over 80—came from the Sligo Church. Leaders of this group were (left to right): Al Carlton, Director; Mrs. Mabel Michael, Deputy Director, and Dr. John Bata, Deputy Director.

An example of the fine-appearing youth at the camporee was Richard Lee (left), a member of the Golden Mustangs from the Bethel Church in Cleveland. No great amount of enthusiasm for doing dishes is shown by Larry Smith (left) or Ronnie George. Both are from Columbus, Ohio.

"That's no way to wear a chef's hat," is the comment of the friends of Steven Mc- Kenzie from the Mount Ver- non, Ohio, Club.
